LinkedIn Headline

Your LinkedIn headline appears next to your name and picture at the top, and unless you rewrite it, it defaults to your job title.

The terms you use can help you show up in their searches. Choose each word with care—you want to fish with the right bait. If a particular employer exemplifies your dream job, check the company’s career page and make sure whatever title you use for yourself is similar to their positions.

Think of your headline like you would think about dressing for the job you want.
