Or as our favorite GradHacker, Kate Meyers Emery, says: “If you don’t someone else will.”

“A LinkedIn profile is eleven times more prone to be seen if there is a photo” says Kelly Keating, co-proprietor of Red Letter Resumes. Post an expert headshot with your face unmistakably obvious for best results.
