You’ve heard it before, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. And let's face it, in the business world, first impressions are everything. Whether you work for a large corporation, or are self employed, your headshot is the first thing potential clients will see and they will make an instant determination whether or not they think you are a good fit for them.
A professional headshot can make a huge difference in how you are perceived by future clients, employers and colleagues in your field. Having a fresh, updated headshot ensures that you stand out from the competition and your business website, LinkedIn profile, email, and other online profiles look modern and approachable.
Here are the top 10 reasons to update your headshot according to the professionals:
1. You have changed your appearance. Whether you have undergone a significant or subtle physical transformation – a new haircut or style, changes in weight, etc. – it's probably time to update your headshot!
2. You've changed careers: when you change careers or your field of work, a fresh professional headshot is a fantastic way to promote your new title and services.
3. You have new skills or accomplishments: If you have acquired new skills, a new degree or achieve a noteworthy milestone in your career, a new headshot is a great way to showcase your growth and success.
4. Your old headshot is out of date: Headshots have a shelf life, especially if they were taken a long time ago or in a different style.
5. You want to showcase your personality: A good headshot should capture your unique personality and style.
6. Your business has evolved: If your business has evolved or changed direction, updating your headshot can help you communicate those changes to your audience.
7. You want to stand out from the competition in a saturated online space and having a professional quality headshot will get you noticed! Updating your headshot regularly will help keep you at the top of your game.
8. You want to look more professional: A professional headshot can help you convey credibility and competence.
9. You want to appeal to a different audience: If you're looking to attract a different client base or reach a new market, updating your headshot can help you better appeal to that audience.
10. You just want a fresh look: Finally, sometimes it's simply nice to have a new headshot to freshen up your online presence. Keeping your headshot up to date will ensure that your LinkedIn profile, website, email, and other online presences have a fresh, modern feel.
