8. Set Your Profile to Public

Unless you're a celebrity or in the witness protection program then you should have your profile set so that the public can view it. LinkedIn allows non-logged in users and search crawlers access to your public profile, however, your public profile has limited information available by default. If you are on the hunt for a job then you want to turn on full-view.

Setting your profile this way is good if potential employers are browsing because they can see your entire profile and if you've taken the time to set up it up right, they will notice you. It's also good from an SEO perspective, allowing search engines to crawl some pertinent information regarding a very important topic, you.
