In a digital world built on personal connections, few platforms are as powerful for professionals as LinkedIn. And while it may be simple to create an account, standing out in the sea of other users vying for attention is not so easy. When it comes to attracting connections, recruiters, and other Wake Forest alumni, having a robust LinkedIn profile makes all the difference. To help you out, we created a Quick Guide to Making a Stellar LinkedIn Profile.

To get you started, below are the building blocks to a great profile. If you don’t have all of these on your profile, consider updating your information!

  • Basic User Information (Name, profile picture, cover picture)
  • Snappy Headline
  • Location
  • Education
  • About Statement
  • Work History
  • Licenses, Certificates, and Other Experience

Once your LinkedIn profile has been updated, feel free to reach out to our team for a review by using the Ask a Career Question form here.

Please note that our team serves alumni who have graduated from a College of Arts & Sciences program. If you graduated with any degree from the Schools of Business, Law, or Medicine, or the School of Professional Studies, please reach out to your respective program for career support!
