Headshots and How You're Perceived
How do you want to be perceived? If you're on LinkedIn, you likely want to be perceived as professional, competent, and approachable. When someone visits your LinkedIn profile, the first thing they will see is your profile picture - and that creates an immediate first impression (in as little as 80msec!). As they read your profile, that first impression persists, acting as a type of filter thru which they digest your background and experience. That's why having a professionally done headshot that creates the impression you want to create is so important.
Kimberly recognized the importance of a good headshot as she is transitioning from the military, seeking a new career in biotech (she came to me via Portraits for Patriots). Here's a before and after - the impression created is very different - and it's obvious which version is best for her new job search. Great working with you Kimberly and thank you for your service! Best of success!!!
