This is good advice, don&#x27;t get me wrong (I read the article), but you don&#x27;t absolutely have to have a pro photo. What you <i>do</i> need is a good, clear headshot. Advice like yours is necessary because I&#x27;ve seen a lot of really bad, unprofessional LI photos:<p>1&#x2F; Don&#x27;t use your Facebook profile photo<p>2&#x2F; Don&#x27;t use anything blurry: photo should be well lit and clear<p>3&#x2F; Don&#x27;t use a photo that isn&#x27;t a headshot—make sure your face is clearly visible and smiling<p>4&#x2F; Don&#x27;t use anything where you&#x27;re engaging in unprofessional behaviour
