How to optimize

‍

To check and change your intro settings:

1. Open edit contact info
2. Under Current position and Education look for the checkboxes labeled Show in my intro.
3. Decide if you want to show the company and educational institution in your intro

‍What to consider when deciding what to show in your intro

‍

Ask yourself: are they relevant for the opportunities you're currently targeting? If not, leave them out. For example: if you're transitioning into marketing (offering services or applying for jobs) after a few years as a firefighter, it might be impressive that you trained at a firefighting school. But that detail shouldn't be the first thing people see on your profile.

‍

Tip: review your location settings

‍

Review your Location settings:

• If you live in a small, lesser-known town outside New York, just write New York.
• If you’re in a remote area in Germany, simply use Germany.
• Unless your exact location is important for your business, choose well-known places that people can easily recognize.

What to optimize next

Next, optimize your contact info. Add a contact email to 1st connections and utilize the link to drive traffic to a relevant page. See a list of examples in the contact info optimization guide.
