official headshots or “good”
photos of you in business
casual attire
Leave the sunglasses, red
cups, and cute poses in the
“living room” (i.e.
Facebook)
9. • No Aliases
QueenBee OhSoBeautiful is not your name. Use your First & Last names.
• Customize your headline to grab attention
Try using “Student” or “Associates of Arts Candidate” at St. Lawrence
College. Or make it interesting!
