Are you ready? Cover Stories from LinkedIn are changing headshots
August 2, 2021
LinkedIn’s cover Story is the new Head Shot
This new feature from LinkedIn is one of the most interesting features to be released in the last couple of years - the 30 seconds video resume from LinkedIn. This new product will shake up the head shot landscape and get you hired FASTER. Read until the end for a special offer.
One fresh spring morning, I received a link from my friend Alex , a business consultant and Agile expert, about a new feature that appeared on his LinkedIn Profile. Alex, always being a first adopter of anything, immediately jumped on the occasion and asked my opinion on the matter.
Tell me…what is exactly a LinkedIn cover story?
Released in March 2021, the cover story is a 30 second vertical video of you, explaining who you are and what you do. It opens a lot of possibilities to express who you are to potential leads and hiring managers. On top of making sure you have a great headshot (you can book your appointment here), the cover story will be a great supplement to send a great elevator pitch that will create an impact and get you your next job or contract.
What I learned in making a cover story
Because it was my first cover story, I spent a lot of time with Alex prepping his script and how the video will look.
There are a few things that I learned while creating this for him:
