We’ve got 📸 Free headshots to banish those bad profile vibes 👻 Staff and peers ready to answer all your LinkedIn questions and a ☕ Latte bar to keep your spirits high!

 

Why Are LinkedIn Headshots Important?

LinkedIn headshots are an essential part of your professional online presence.

A high-quality LinkedIn headshot can make a strong first impression, showcasing your professionalism and personality.

 

What to Wear for LinkedIn Headshots?

Dress for the job you want. Your attire should reflect your industry and the image you want to project. If you work in a more conservative industry, a suit and tie or a formal blouse may be appropriate. In more creative or casual industries, business casual attire may be more fitting. Solid colors tend to do best on camera.
