LinkedIn Profile for College Students | Tips + What Mine Looks Like

[@rweg5161]

Really great. Avoiding all the "this is how you sign in" type stuff and getting to the stuff that counts

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

thanks for watching!

[@VendySteinberga]

I definitely agree that having a custom background image on LinkedIn is key for STANDING OUT 😊But here's a quick tip - when designing your cover photos, keep in mind that the placement of your profile picture changes on mobile & desktop, so you’ll want to make sure that none of the important information on your LinkedIn banner (such as call-to-actions, contact details) get hidden by your profile picture 😉

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

great tip! always very important to be mindful of this. thanks

[@marlinicol504]

I’m a graduating senior and this was very helpful, thank you! Also, your eyebrows are amazing!!

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

Really glad it could help. Thank you 😌

[@amirafitzpatrick3755]

This was soooooo helpful and straight to the point. Thank you for this video!

[@JustMoseyinAround]

It's pretty cool that you went to community college then UCLA. People talk down on that path even though it makes the most sense for majority of the people... Make a video on that if you haven't already. 😀

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

JustMoseyinAround thank you! If you take a look at my channel, I think you’ll find that that is pretty much what it is centered around!

[@Apolloshine]

Hi Hailey! Thank you so much for sharing your tips!:)

thanks for watching

[@twilywily]

Would love to have timestamps on this!

[@simarsehgal5400]

Really Helpful Video! Could you please tell more about what an entry level student who has no experience (has never worked anywhere) should put on their profile and how to make it look attractive as i’m sure while working at LinkedIn you would have come across such profiles and hence are more familiar and knowledgeable about what to put. Lastly, as you have worked on LinkedIn, why did you choose to not put it on your profile (it’s kind of a personal question and perfectly alright if you choose not to answer i just wanted to know so that I could know on what basis should I evaluate which experiences to put and which not to). Thanks!❤️

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

Every profile is gonna vary based on your own experience and personal taste. You can use this video as a guide to create your profile. If you have no work experience you could consider putting extracurriculars on your profile. I did work at LinkedIn but I was a contractor. This means that I was not an employee of LinkedIn, but a company called Cushman & Wakefield, which is listed on my profile.

[@simarsehgal5400]

Hailey Dollar Got it! Thank u so much!

Hi... can uh plz clear my doubt about adding restaurant experience? Basically I am a project management student and I worked as a teacher for a year and I would definitely add that, but I am just little bit concerned about my current part time job which I am doing in a restaurant. what would you suggest me for it?

[@elimartinez5462]

So applied linguistics? That honestly seems really interesting, what do you plan on doing career-wise? I always get asked that question and sometimes don't know what to answer. Is that bad?

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

I'm planning on becoming a speech language pathologist .You have time to figure it out, don't worry

[@samarth78]

This really helped me update my profile.

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

[@jadechan9222]

what should i put for my school/headline if im deciding to attend two community colleges at once? thx hailey

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

You can really put whatever you want, you don't have to put your school, you could always just put your major

[@mcnuggets8716]

Is it better not to do any linkedin until we have more interesting details to write on it ?

[@tejaskotian4752]

Hello. I have completed my graduation recently. What should I write in headline? And in summary part, can I write in which field I am interested to work?

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

Hi there! It's totally up to you! Just put something that reflects your career accomplishments and goals

Hi Haily! Thank you for your efforts it really helped me. I was wondering if it is okay if I added the courses, scholarships, and sessions to my experience section?

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

You can if you want but I think the experience section is more typically reserved for your employment history

[@Kendramiller]

I just made one and was wondering how many times should u make a post on your profile ? I already have two up but wondering if I should post more.

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

That's totally up to you!

[@shobhitkumar6096]

So basically i am from INDIA and i am an engineering student, i am in 2nd year of my college and our college is supposed to be of 4 years.So basicaly i am planning to start a dig in coding world so that i could get internship during by 3rd year .I came across the concept of Linkedin and i really liked it but the problem is that i am new and i am student and i don't have any skills in coding till now i am planning to start learning ,So what should i put in my skills because i don't have that skill till now but i want to get intership and job in that field only. I have got skills which doesn't belong to coding- like (Edting,Photoshop,3D blender . All these i have got some basic knowledge)So should i put these things in my skills or should i leave it blank for now and after completing the learning part then i will start managing my LInkedin....

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

Something is better than nothing! I don't think that listing those skills will hurt you, even if they don't relate to coding

[@yazeed1851]

Very helpful video, thanks

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

thank you for watching!

[@psujith9300]

Thank you for the tips. I had a question. Do 'Take Skill Quiz' under skills and endorsements reflect anything?

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

Hi Sujith, unfortunately I am not familiar with the Skills Quiz, but endorsements are highly beneficial!

[@pinkcardigan3329]

When should we, if ever, delete high school? I just put it in there without describing anything because it was 4 yrs ago

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

It's up to you. If you feel it is not relevant, then you don't have to include it at all.

[@idaliyoussef3961]

[@swasthikkotian621]

Hey! I'm a college student and i don't have any work experience. What should I put in work experience in LinkedIn

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

Hi, any relevant experience that you have from volunteering, extra curriculars, etc will be sufficient for now. I would highly recommend that you try to get some experience during your college years before you enter the job market.

[@winneton9323]

Can people or recruiters look into the apps you use on your devices, suppose you have games on your phone, does this tarnish my profile????

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

No, they have no way of doing this

Just wondering, can you make a video about Greek Life (fraternities/sororities) at UCLA and how to get involved as a transfer student?

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

Unfortunately I'm not involved in Greek life :/

[@Technobug1]

Hi where should I add the minor

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

to my knowledge there isn't a specific section to list your minor

[@shelleyn2884]

Very helpful; video.

[@englishkzaman7101]

Well and good video. But you speak very fast, If you speak slowly , it will be understandable for us all. thank you.

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

I was speaking slowly 😩try watching the video at half speed or with captions on

[@hameedkhan-sg9nk]

You are very beautiful but talking very fast. Plz in others vedio talk slowly. Slow and steady win the race.

[@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege]

Hi Hameed, thank you. Sorry that you're having trouble. Try watching with the closed caption on or at half speed.
