Day 7 Tip - Advent Calendar 2025 (LinkedIn Features)

Day 7: Boost Your LinkedIn Profile With the Featured Section

For a lot of us we spend a lot of time networking and using LinkedIn is no different. There are several features on LinkedIn which can make a strong impression. One of the quickest and most effective change you can make is updating your Featured section. This is often-overlooked but is one of the first things people see when they view your profile. It is a powerful place to showcase your best work.

Use all features of LinkedIn to enhance what people know about you

Your Featured section can include:

• Articles you’ve written

• Posts that performed well

• Videos or interviews

• Your CV or portfolio

• Links to your website or services

• Testimonials or case studies

Think of it as your digital shop window. It shows what you’re proud of, what you specialise in, and how you add value.

Why it matters:

• It instantly boosts your credibility

• It helps recruiters, clients and collaborators understand your strengths

• It increases visibility of the content you want people to see

• It gives your profile a polished, professional feel

Today’s challenge:

Add one piece of content to your Featured section. Start small, even a single post or link makes a difference.

Your LinkedIn profile is always working for you, even when you’re not online.

Make it shine.
