The Selfie!

You do it for fun, but what about when it has to be professional?  If so, here are a few tips:

  • Why Are You Taking It?  If you want to show yourself having fun and being a real person, fine.  Just be sure you still look professional.
  • Use a good camera.  Or should I say phone?  Most of us use the phone so be sure you have the right filters and settings.
  • Check your background.  Strangers might not want to be in the background of your LinkedIn picture.  Nor do you want something else that’s inappropriate in the background.
  • Take several shots.  You won’t notice flaws until it’s too late.

That’s all I got!
