Many people tend to underestimate the power of a good photo. That’s a big mistake, as having a great profile picture may change a lot of things for you on LinkedIn.

Today, approximately 20 years after its launch, LinkedIn has become an extremely powerful professional network and corporate recruitment platform.

Before 2020, everyone considered “work” to be the place where you go every morning from Monday to Friday – an office space where you meet with all your co-workers, and you virtually spend 70% of your life.
