What we'll cover ​

Part 1 — Why LinkedIn actually matters ​

  • A LinkedIn profile is a search result, not a resume: a recruiter sees the card (photo + headline) first, and only then decides whether to open the profile
  • Skills are SEO, not a trophy shelf: top skills should repeat the keywords in your headline
  • Empty sections (Featured, Certifications, Recommendations) mean lost conversion from "shown in search" to "recruiter replies"

Part 2 — Live audit and live fixes of my own profile ​

  • I go through my own LinkedIn live against a checklist: photo, banner, headline, About, skills, experience, featured, certifications, recommendations
  • Fixing the bugs I find, live, on the spot
  • Comparing against great examples — Danny Thompson, Simon Høiberg, Cassidy Williams, Sarah Drasner

Part 3 — Audience profile teardown + Q&A ​

  • Send your profile in chat — I'll review it live using the same checklist
  • At the end — a ready-made checklist you can apply the same night
