Do you want recruiters to take notice of you on LinkedIn? Careers expert [Kerry Hannon](http://kerryhannon.com/) explains how to get the most out of your [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/) account.

**Think of it as a fluid document.** Like your traditional resume, keep LinkedIn current. Feel free to list details about the projects you've worked on. Additionally, don't shy away from including a headshot as well as a short summary about your talents and aspirations.

**Be conversational.** Don't be overly professional. People want to see that you have a personality.

**Showcase what you've done.** LinkedIn allows you to house projects and links that you've worked on. Share your material with your network and spark a dialogue.
