LinkedIn's First #RockYourProfile Event Shows Seattle Professionals How to Get 10x More Profile Views

SEATTLE, Nov. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 175 Seattle students, small business owners, companies and nonprofits will join LinkedIn today for the company's first #RockYourProfile event, aimed at helping Seattle professionals find more business opportunities by being among the 53 million profiles viewed on LinkedIn each day.

Even simple steps on LinkedIn have major impact - and easy additions to your profile substantially increase your odds of discovering new opportunities, help you strengthen your professional or company's brand, and enable you to build better professional relationships.

On LinkedIn, that's as straightforward as including:

• An industry (15x more profile views)
• A photo of yourself (14x views)
• More than one position (12x views)
