Nothing says "rookie" more than a LinkedIn Profile that doesn't have a customized LinkedIn URL. How do you change your URL? Like this:
1. Go to your name on the LinkedIn Home or Profile page and click it. Your name is towards the top of the page and on the right side.
2. A drop down menu will show several options including Settings. Click this (Settings).
3. You'll probably be asked to enter your LinkedIn password.
4. At this page, look for "Edit Your Public Profile" in the "Helpful Links" section. Click this.
5. Your LinkedIn profile will display and to the right of it you will see a series of suggestions to customize your profile. Down towards the bottom of these suggestions it will say "Your Public Profile" and show you what it looks like to the public. Like this:
• Your current profile http://.........
6. It will say, "Customize your public profile URL . View your public profile." Click this and customize your profile with your name according to the stated directions.
That's all there is to getting a polished LinkedIn URL. Next time you "Google" yourself, you will see your professional, customized LinkedIn profile.
