a linkedin voiceover profile message that was for naught
Back in the day, the folks at LinkedIn used to let users post a little video about themselves that you could see in the profile picture.
I was always delaying doing it – mostly because I don’t like being on camera and because the world is absolutely FINE with me not being on camera.
However, this week, I was inspired! I decided I would make a quick :30 second video welcoming the masses to my LinkedIn profile page.
I wrote a little script and practiced it.
I set up my unfancy ring light that has a holder for my phone.
Then I hit record.
I hit record again.
I hit record about 75 times before I read the script (that I rehearsed with) with vocal clarity and the motions of my mouth, head and hands did NOT look like I was having a seizure.
Did I mention how I don’t like being on camera?
Anyway…I edited the video and went on the LinkedIn app to upload it.
Except it wouldn’t upload.
That’s because it couldn’t upload.
A quick search showed LinkedIn stopped adding profile videos this past June.
They must have heard I was coming.
Anyway…now you have to watch it…do not avert your eyes!!! If I had to record it you have to watch it! 🙂
