Courtney’s Refresh
Many recruiters and hiring managers will check a prospective candidate’s LinkedIn photo as part of the screening process. So your LinkedIn profile image is a great opportunity to put your best foot forward for these decision-makers.
Courtney started her most recent job search without a LinkedIn photo. Through the Work-From-Home Mommy’s Headshot Project program, she was able to submit a selfie she liked of herself, and it was transformed into a LinkedIn-ready headshot. Our editor removed the original background from the source photo, lightened the shadows, brightened the image, and removed the flyaway hairs that tend to visit us mamas!
A black backdrop is a solid background choice for any professional seeking a new opportunity and it fits with Courtney’s headshot perfectly! She also looked great posed in front of the brick wall background, both of which she has to choose from going forward!

I never uploaded a photo to LinkedIn because I could never get them to look professional enough. Now I can have a professional photo to assist in helping my journey to a new career.
