LinkedIn, a networking site for professionals, is a great place to make new connections, learn about new opportunities, and promote your experience. But while it allows for users to customize their profiles with links to their portfolios, it hasn’t allowed for a more visual display—until now.
Thanks to a collaboration with the Behance Network, creative professionals can now showcase their work on their LinkedIn profiles with the help of a new app, Creative Portfolio Display.
Here’s how it works:
- Sign in to LinkedIn and install the app (More > Application Directory > Creative Portfolio Display).
- If you don’t already have a portfolio on Behance, then you’ll need to upload your work there first. It’s free, and you can upload multimedia projects as well as embed media from sites like Vimeo, Flickr, and YouTube.
- Upload as many projects as you like (personal or professional), and then choose the ones you want showcased on LinkedIn.
Once you have your work ready to go, people viewing your profile will be able to browse your portfolio without leaving LinkedIn. And once you’re a part of the Behance Network, there are even more opportunities for employers and other creatives to find you.
