What’s the number one way to boost your professional presence?
Get a good business headshot.
This proven piece of advice was recently repeated in The Globe and Mail’s career advice section:
Chris Brown, director of talent solutions for LinkedIn Canada, says numbers prove the value of tidy headshots – profiles with images get 20 times more views. Conversely, profile photos with distant shots, cartoon avatars, and photos with pets may decimate your chances of attracting a potential employer.
The same has been said about the business headshots on a company’s About Us or Contact Us page.
How do you choose a good business portrait photographer? Look at the photographer’s own portrait. If their business headshot is missing or is poorly done then you immediately know that’s the wrong photographer. You need a photographer who understands the importance of a business portrait.
