Should Headlines Be Kept Even Shorter Than the 120 Character Limit?ĭigital Strategist, Mark Longbottom made a valid point when I announced my LinkedIn headline change on LinkedIn.

#Headline linkedin professional
For instance, I currently have emojis and capital letters in my LinkedIn headline, just to add a bit of colour and charisma (though only use the emojis if you feel it is appropriate, LinkedIn is still a professional business platform, after all, but that doesn’t mean to say your Profile and content should be devoid of personality). So, get creative! Think attention-grabbing, whilst maintaining a clear and concise approach. There’s bound to be lots of people out there on LinkedIn who do what you do but there’s only one you. Last year I published a video about the tale of Frank the accountant, giving an example of what a poor headline would look like for him and what a more interesting one would be like. You get one chance to make a first impression – make it the best you can be. Be within the 120-character limit set by LinkedIn, so it doesn’t look silly when it is automatically cut off.
