You can entice hiring managers to take a closer look at your credentials by drawing attention to your LinkedIn profile. It’s easy to accomplish this on an online or paper resume by using a small LinkedIn icon for resume. Place the URL for your public profile next to the icon so that recruiters can visit your profile.
In addition to using the LinkedIn icon for resume, create clickable profile badges or buttons for your blog, website, or email signature.
Once people arrive at your LinkedIn page, they can see all the current projects, endorsements from other professionals, and any articles or videos that you’ve shared on the site.
Badges Versus Buttons
A LinkedIn badge is a code generated through the LinkedIn system. It shows your profile picture, the LinkedIn logo, and a button labeled “view profile.”
A button is simply a LinkedIn logo image with a hyperlink that sends people to your LinkedIn profile page.
