Why Your LinkedIn Profile Picture Matters
According to LinkedIn’s research, profiles with photos are 14 times more likely to be viewed by others. Complete LinkedIn profiles receive 21 times more profile views and 36 times more messages. Your profile picture is often the first impression recruiters and potential employers see—research shows it takes just 100 milliseconds to form an impression from a photo.
