LinkedIn Optimization for Engineers
Your 24/7 Landing Page. Attract recruiters while you sleep.
More Than an Online CV
LinkedIn is a search engine. If you don't have the right keywords (SEO), you're invisible.
1. The First Impression
Professional photo, neutral background, friendly smile. Custom banner (code, conference, minimalist).
The Headline
The most important part for SEO. Use the formula:
Role | Main Tech Stack | Unique Value Proposition
2. Experience & About
About
Your 'About' is your story. Talk about your passion, problems you solve, and your current stack. Include a 'Technical Skills' list at the end for the algorithm.
Experience
Focus on quantifiable achievements, just like on your CV.
3. Social Validation
Fill up all 50 skills. Get endorsements and recommendations from former colleagues.
4. Activity
Don't be a ghost. Comment on posts from industry leaders. Share articles. Activity makes you visible to 2nd and 3rd degree networks.
