yes
vinegar strokes
HAHA
Will try this. I have a movie star-ish pic and attracted strangers to endorse skills I never had. Kinda annoying.
Ran out of bananas lol.
I don't have a picture. I have a very common name and enjoy not being a blackmail target.
How does this make any sense?
"This is blackmail! Pay us ransom money or else we will release a professional picture of you linked to a common and generic name. Do not call the police, or else the picture of you in a suit will be spread to the people that don't really give a shit, don't know you, and probably won't ever meet you again in life. And yeah we're telling you to pay up because we have a professional picture of you in a suit, and it's incredibly incriminating because its a picture of you in a suit. And we're blackmailing you because apparently you are worth blackmailing."
I don't know, maybe reverse blackmail? Like self-branding through unorthodox ways?
Yes but not in a cheesy way. Standard office photo with city skyline behind.
thoughts on having pic vs not having pic?
Depends if you have a face for radio.
I vote yes on the pic. It's hard to remember everyone's names, being able to quickly pull up your LinkedIn is an easy way for me to remember you.
How many accounts do you have MomentaLaugh?
Smiling + Flexing
No. Probably paranoid, but I don't want to look unprofessional.
I'd call it more of a smirk.
Hopefully the 'W.' smirk.
the real question is how many of you are in the 500+ club...?
500+, auto offer.
think of it as any other professional headshot. Do you want to be the bad ass, or the friendly guy. Assuming you are junior, you need to be the latter.
I do the Duck face for all display pics!
Nope.
I'm currently wearing a scarf and have a driver's cap in my Linkedin profile picture, hahahah.
Ballsy to the max. And there's a reason behind it too. :P
Mean muggin'
It's just an instagram photo of this artisan bread I bought at Trader Joe's.
Cya.
I'm drunk in my LinkedIn picture and look quite joyous.
Well that doesn't seem very professional of you.
It works for me because my resting face is kind of dickish. People who get to know me tell me they thought I looked like a pretentious cunt at first sight. But when I get drunk, I look very laid-back and approachable.
Haha definitely cheesin'!
@Bic @Pinkclouds is something going on between you two? Lots of threads with weird exchanges. You guys dating?
Well that would be highly unfortunate...for me. bic wishes that were true though. But he's strictly bro-zone for me. Why are you so interested in my bro bic and I's relationship anyway? Wanna join our bro club? :)

Hard to smile while rescuing the damsel and her puppy by parachuting from an exploding C-130 full of terrorist , but I managed it some how. Doesn't seem like it has negatively impacted me yet.
Yes, slight grin. No stupid toothy smile though.
Half smile
Dick pic all the way...
Soft smile
orgasm face
I'd recommend a sharp yet relaxed gaze, with your face slightly arched over your right shoulder. Just please keep those 32's covered.
I try and stay level looking.
My old finance professor boiled it down to: "Treat your LinkedIn like it's your first handshake with a headhunter, an md, or a client... and 70% of the time you would be right" ...so "when taking your business pic, envision that you're shaking someone's hand for the first time. Whatever facial expression you produce under the thought is the natural and right one to go on LinkedIn" ...
Personally I smile, but it's different for everyone. Whatever is most natural to you is the right thing to churn out. After all, they should accept your professional mug in its natural state if they are to tolerate/present it for 80+ hours for the next 3+ years
this is really good advice, thanks
Absolutely. Hope it helps.
If WSO starts having the function to favourite posts, this will be my first favourite.
Thanks. Appreciate it.
This is really great. Thanks.
I have to visit my LinkedIn profile again. In order to ensure how I am look like!

Funny you say that...
I was scheduled to have coffee with a ECM VP at a respectable boutique. His LinkedIn photo was from maybe late 20s at a push. He is now early 40s. While waiting, I had another glance at his LinkedIn just so I'd know him when he walks through those doors and showers me in advice. Boy was I wrong..
When he came out, he said "Hi X, I'm X, nice to meet you". I was so nervous (first time meeting a real banker) I couldn't even hear what he said. I looked at him blankly, responding "Hi, I'm here to meet X at 9:00 AM. Is he in yet?"
He stared at me for what felt like at least 10 seconds before replying "Yeah, he is literally right here..."
Senior bankers, please ensure your LinkedIn photo at least somewhat resembles you.
Because most senior bankers, me included, used to look healthy young and beautiful back in the days. Unfortunately most of us are not Dorian Gray and would rather think we look as good as we used to. I'll use my college prom picture if I fucking want to.
This will tell you all you need to know.
