How do I optimally build my LinkedIn profile for job searching?

Five essential elements according to LinkedIn recruiting data and Skills on the Rise: (1) Professional photo — profiles with photos are viewed 14x more often. (2) Keyword-rich headline with role and core competencies. (3) About section: 3-5 paragraphs about your value, experience and what you are looking for. (4) Experience entries with quantified results — not just task lists. (5) Skills section: At least 10 relevant skills, ideally endorsed by connections. Additionally: Recommendations from supervisors or colleagues significantly increase credibility. GDPR: Regularly check LinkedIn privacy settings — what is public, what is only visible to connections?
