I updated about 6-8 months ago, round about the time I watched your first version of the LinkedIn profile tips (:
In that time I’ve got about 3-4 people reach out to me based on my profile alone (thanks Jeff!) Including one recruiter who’s within the last few weeks, been helping me interview for a local media company. Amazing that I was still able to be found, but I do reckon my profile is in need of an update.
What is one huge tip to remain active in the feed and one tips for keeping profile updated?
Cheers!
@@byslo That's AWESOME to hear my friend! Sounds like you got a killer profile! I think the next step for you is to start sharing your learnings/takeaways on LinkedIn! My tip is to not think about it like something "huge" and that you have to share something "life-changing", oftentimes sharing your own experience is good enough for others! 😁
Man you are just amazing you explained everything very clearly with examples. i am going to update my linkedin profile now. Thanks!
@@riazejaz93 awesome! Lemme know how it goes!!
@@JeffSu sure i will :)
Awesome strategy tips, thank you! Profile could definitely use an overhaul following this advice. Kinda curious what kind of pics kahma can hook me up with too.
LinkedIn profile looking fire now, just gotta update that 2009 photo...
Let me know how it goes!
Jeff,
Just wanted to thank you for these creations. I updated my LinkedIn and reviewed your suggestions on how to prepare for interviews and negotiations.
I got several interviews and accepted an offer with a career in strategic sourcing.
Thanks again Jeff, you rock.
That's awesome!!! HUGE CONGRATS my friend 😁
The word cloud strategy is actually genius. I'm going to use that.
Good luck Dennis! Let me know how it goes 😁
Jeff we don’t deserve you!!! Thanks so much for the tips!
Awww that's so nice! you're very welcome!
I feel the same, when other career/growth creators charge templates on their websites, Jeff makes all these free videos with helpful step-by-step guide 🙏🏼🔥
That’s so true! He’s so helpful!
@@Christiana-Jllllllllĺlllĺllll
if you have a Mac you can remove the background directly from the Finder. Right click on the image > Quick actions > Remove background. Boom, done.
That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing 😁
For some photos this works well, but doesn't seem to do as good a job as the removebg site's algorithm at discerning edges when contrast isn't high between foreground and the background of your photos. YMMV
Wow🎉 You made my day. Thank you for saving the quality of my photos❤❤❤
Always bringing in fresh ideas!! I really think your videos are underrated, not just the content but the story telling and editing skills as well. Really good job Jeff!!
No arguments from me there Joyce 😉
@@JeffSu Didn't understand why you made the first pic blur and then copied another one same on top of it and made changes to that again. Please explain
@@sanchitgarg9732 You pop out more from the background :)
I'm extremely impressed with this tutorial, Jeff - I've watched a few on the topic of improving your LinkedIn profile, and this is easily the most comprehensive, and also the most fun and dynamic. Good job. :)
Glad to hear it Lisa, thank you 😁
This is a life saver I just updated my entire LinkedIn profile based on this video - you made the process very clear and approachable.
That's what I love to hear Olivia! Let me know how the new and improved profile works for you 😁
Another amazing video Jeff! As a career changer I’ve done a ton of research on optimizing LinkedIn and still learned so many valuable new tips in less than 10 minutes. You rock!
Woohooo! Glad to hear it Nick!
Thank you, Jeff! Everything I want to say, everyone has already commented down below. You provided a ton of value for all of us! You've made a new subscriber. Keep up the great work. Cheers!
Woohoo welcome and thank you!!
Jeff you are nothing short of AMAZING!!! I am an Electronic Engineering student due to graduate this summer so this helped me tweak and fine tune my profile, thank you very much!
That's awesome to hear my friend! Best of luck and let me know how it goes 😁
I've watched several videos on this topic, and this was the best one. It's informative and entertaining. Well written and performed. He was speaking a bit faster, so I had to pause and make notes, but other than that, I give it two thumbs up!
Thank you so much for the kind words Terranisha 😁
Loved the video and all the resources you've shown to get each of the tips done. Also love the subtle jokes. Perfect balance of good content and some fun. Subscribed.
Hahaha glad to hear it Sajin! Thanks so much 😁
I had to come back to this video just to give thanks to you Jeff! I was recently contacted by a recruiter last week and it looks like I'm close to getting an interview, and it was all thanks to this amazing video!!
that's AWESOME!! Congrats Joel!! Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com/in/jsu05/), would love to hear about your experiences!
Dear Jeff, thank you so much for this video and your hard work! I really like the structure of this video. The combination on how you share all these information in a compact and understandable way plus your humor is superb! Cheers!
Thank you so much for this kind comment my friend 😁
Wow, this wasn't the usual generic advice found on YT. You brought 🔥🔥🔥💯
I gotta deliver for my amazing viewers 😉
I always find what I am looking for on your channel! Your videos are really helpful! Thanks, Jeff! See you in the next video! And in the meantime, have a great one! 😉😁
Hahahaha I will have a great one Gayatri, because you commented on this video 😉
Precise packaging of 100 steps 5 minutes 😎quality effort🤗 Many thanks
currently looking for a job and I'm bingeing your content. Really helpful tips.
I was actually doing some thumbnail research for my channel when I came across your content, and I'm really impressed with your videos and love your humor 😂
Haha thanks my friend, best of luck with the channel 😁
Finally understood what a headline is for, thanks!
No problem 😁
i just started my first year of business degree and set up a linkedln account being an absolute newbie this is very helpful
Glad to hear it!! 😁
Hi Jeff, first - I really enjoy the content and think it's great that you touch upon advice from people ranging from entering the workforce to those at a senior level. I also find it really refreshing to see a content creator of your size manually respond to almost every single comment!
I actually have some questions as well - 1) what are some ways you keep your ideas fresh and manage to consistently upload videos while enjoying it? and 2) have you ever thought about longer-form content or starting a podcast?
Thanks for the kind comment Brian! I started making videos for all you guys so it wouldn't make sense if I stopped replying to comments 😂. Onto your questions -
1) I have a content pipeline with over 100 video ideas. Basically whenever I see something career or productivity related and I know I can add an unique spin to it, I write it down
2) Not really because I have a full time job and I won't have time to create other sorts of content!
Love every second in this video, thanks Jeff!
Hi Jeff! Thanks for the great tips once again! Can you also make a video on what information should you include in your previous role/current role job description space? I try to write more context on the organization or any big achievements without making it sound too much like my resume bullet points but I'm wondering if there's anything else I'm missing to really make my profile stand out.
I have another video talking all about this but long story short: resumes should be targeted, and LinkedIn profile should COMPLEMENT your resume. I.e. if a recruiter scans your resume and then goes on your LinkedIn, will they find additional useful information that will help them feel you are a good fit? 😁
@@JeffSu thank you sir!
Awesome tips, thanks for sharing! I spruced up my profile but might try karma to take it to the next level with a high quality pic.
Let me know how it goes 😁
Just now, randomly I got your video and I understand that your content is precious. I'm a recently graduated fellow and looking to build up LinkedIn profile and you are here for me. Hope it goes well.
Thanks a lot for your efforts.
Just with one video ,I subscribed your channel 😊.
That's awesome. Best of luck! Let me know how it goes 😁
Always so happy to see your videos because they are so informative and with out of the box type of info, you the real mvp!
Super happy to hear that my friend! Thank you 😁
How can you always keep the video on point. I really hope that this channel reaches heights. Thank you for the amazing content as always.
Side Note: Subscribers are also looking for apps suggestions on windows and Android.
I hope so too Yaseen! And it's honestly because I value my viewers' time!!
I sold my Windows PC and Android phones to buy a mac unfortunately 😂
This is 📈! Not only for job seekers but everybody who uses Linkedin to grow their network.
Glad you think so Sergey!!
Great video! Optimizing Linkedin profiles just got a whole lot easier! Love how you broke down each step and made it easy to follow :D
My pleasure 😁
Hi Jeff! Can you do a video on 1-1 meetings with manager about personal development/career (non work related)? 😊
That's in the content pipeline still 😂
that headshot thing was super smart
Thank you 😁
Thanks Jeff, your video is the real deal! I shared it with my students and clients looking for work and they've all been raving about it. They even said it's better than any paid LinkedIn courses they've taken. Much appreciated, thanks for sharing the goods.
That's AWESOME to hear Emma! Thanks so much for letting me know 😁. Hope your students and clients aren't tired of hearing my voice 😅
@@JeffSu not at all😄
Seriously amazing, although I had already set my linkedIn profile but you shared great ideas and I improved my profile. but why are your videos so underrated??
Doing an amazing work. Keep it up.
I know right? Can't believe this isn't at like 10M views 😏
But jokes aside thank you Shiwani! 😁
Good information - trying to soak whatever knowledge I can. it's been a challenge trying to translate my military background to civilian. I've tailored many resumes and still no luck getting hiring managers to respond.
I took your advice for the LinkedIN profile. I work at Amazon in operations. I don't know if I'm selling myself short if I only gear towards ops manager roles.
Hi Joseph - First of all thank you for your service! If you're actively looking for jobs you can see your linkedin as a "catch-all profile" and your resumes should be hyper-targeted (i.e. a resume you send out for role A *should not be* applicable for role b). Best of luck and let me know how it goes!
@@JeffSu Thanks for the response.
Do you recommend attaching a PDF formatted resume on there?
Instead of attaching one, I wrote my LinkedIN experiences w/job description and one highlight - resume format.
I’m right there you post my Air Force career in addition to use my IT education to enter that workforce (I wasn’t technical while serving)
Simple videos and his jokes are awkwardly hilarious 😁😁😁😁😁
Hahahaha I'm okay with "awkwardly hilarious" 😂
LinkedIn advice on point. Gonna revamp mine now following these steps. Also gonna see what kind of pics I can get from karma
I went check this video with hidden hopes and no expectations, and wow, actually discovered a few very interesting info!
That's what I love to hear my friend!! 😁
Thanks for this, Jeff. Before I am torn if I am going to detail out my linked in or keep it simple. Thanks again, crushie!
Wait...so what did you decide?
I decided to detail out the salient responsibilities I had with my former employers. What do you say about it? hehe.
@@danieldayaguillon7660 as long as you talk about the impact you had you should be good!
Thanks, crushie. I’ll keep this in mind. :)
Hi Jeff, awesome content as usual.
But what should a student who is trying to land his first internship (aka 0 experience with no work or internship before) write in his "about" section and his skills?
You know I am a first year engineering student and I am trying to apply for a summer internship, so it would be nice to help me with some pro-tips of yours
Thanks a lot for everything
Any extracurriculars? Leadership experience at school? Side projects like investing? Failing all that (and I'm dead serious), go get a job at a retail/coffee store or fast food chain
"Wow, I stumbled upon this channel and I'm absolutely hooked! The content you create is incredibly informative and entertaining. I appreciate the effort you put into each video, from the research to the engaging presentation. Your expertise shines through, and I always leave your channel feeling inspired and more knowledgeable. Keep up the fantastic work, and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next! Subscribed and eagerly waiting for more amazing content. 👍"
Was that written by ChatGPT? 😂
All jokes aside, thank you so much!
The wordcloud suggestion was awesome
Also works in various places where the frequency of words is important like in SEO research or general work!
That's so true! Thanks for pointing it out Binayak!!
The best video ever ❤️🔥
Haha thanks so much Daria 😁
I love your passion and energy. Subscribed. Keep it up!
Woohooo thank you!
The best LinkedIn and career tips channel of all CZcams! Great content once again
I agree 😏. Haha thank you Leandro!
Great video, i followed it step by step and now my linkedin is way more professional. 😀
That's what I love to hear!
You got a new subscriber! I just love the way you explain everything. Another interesting part is, you reply to each comment which blew my mind.
I do all this for the viewers so I definitely want my content to be easy to understand 😁, thanks Fazly!
Thanks for all these tips. Really brilliant and concise!
No problem 😁
Great video and awesome job delivering the information in a fun fast pace way!
Only the best for my viewers 😁
These tips are gold, Im about to Network my way to the top!
Glad to hear it!
God, this guy is so good! I have been up-to-date with all your videos and I am very impressed. Keep up the great work Jeff Su!
Woohooo that's what I LOVE to hear! 😁
The part that absolutely knocked my SOCKS off was the fact that because of the advice here, I took a picture of myself that looks like a professional photo and I literally took the picture while kneeling on the carpet of my living room floor! Dude! 🤯 Nobody would ever have a clue because the whole background is gone. The power this advice gives people when they would typically assume they have no resources otherwise just blows my mind. Your videos enable people Jeff. THAT is quality content from a youtube channel. You already KNOW I liked and subscribed 👍
That's AWESOME to hear Marcus! Thanks so much for the kind comment and for making my morning 😁
@@JeffSu Most welcome! It's 8 hours later and I'm still in shock. I'm making another sales funnel right now too so this opens some serious doors regarding photo website/marketing content. The ideas soared the entire day because of this. Theres never been a BETTER time to discover this video
@@marcusmelvin6572 NICE!!!!!!!
wow jeff you're a god bro. i just added a fire headline to my profile, keep changing the game

Really helpful, been needing to LinkedIn better for the job hunt
Best of luck!!
Красавчик! Всё ёмко, чётко и по делу. Благодарю

Haha thank you!
#3 has just blew my MIND! This is fantastic
Have fun with revamping your profile Ray 😁
@@JeffSu Thanks. I'm my own boss but my part time, hobby, job is helping Veterans find work after their military service. I let them know to make a targeted resume. That step is just going to kick it way up because they have trouble figuring out which words to use.
@@raylozanospeaks Ahhhh got it. Love how you're contributing your time Ray!!!
Very helpful, thank you!
No problem 😁
You better work boy!! Keep dropping those gems!
Will do!!
Jeff, this is so helpful! Thank you!

You're very welcome Mark! Let me know how it goes 😁
So glad I came across your channel Jeff! I was just wondering if you have any tips on how you can communicate value in your LinkedIn headline if you have yet to get some professional experience in your field?
You could mention relevant or transferable skillsets but if you don't feel confident, skip it altogether :)
Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much. I just had to subscribe after watching this video
Thank you and welcome Andy!! 😁
