Throughout the years, we have written and published hundreds of LinkedIn makeovers. When browsing though LinkedIn, or when working with the ‘before’ version of our client profiles, I am always amazed at how few people actually use symbols for extra visual effect on their profile.
Although symbols must be used strategically and should not be overused, they also have the power to break things down visually and to help you tell a story. We recommend that you pick a few that are representative of your story, expertise & branding, and use them consistently across your profile (i.e., avoid overdoing it!).
Symbols can be used in most sections of your profile, including your:
- Headline
- Summary
- Job Descriptions
- Achievements
They can be used as:
- Bullets to list tasks & achievements
- Visual separators to delimitate sections
- Icons to visually represent a word or message (make sure to still use the word though)
To simplify the process for you, we have assembled an extensive collection of symbols below. When giving your LinkedIn profile a makeover, all you have left to do is to copy & paste them into your profile text.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Need help? Just reach out, and we will be happy to guide you.
Here they are!
