However, many tend to give their profile on LinkedIn only a simple afterthought. Here are three more reasons you should not disregard your LinkedIn profile as a Global Talent visa candidate.
1. LinkedIn is a valuable tool for networking opportunities
Networking is an essential building block for your career. Especially if the career is to be continued in the UK’s tech sector. Be sure to start networking with people in positions you want to be in or in British companies you want to work for. Build the bridges online before crossing them with a Global Talent visa in your hand.

Think about your LinkedIn profile as your detailed and large-scale available CV. How do you want the UK tech world to see you? LinkedIn is a powerful resource for building your personal brand, putting your best foot forward and advertising the very best of what you will bring to the British digital sector.
3. Your LinkedIn profile builds trust and credibility
Picture the situation where Tech Nation assessors are going through your endorsement application, checking all your documents and evidence provided and hesitating to make the final decision. LinkedIn is one of the main sources Tech Nation will check to see if your experience and your connections in tech are real. So, if you are planning to showcase your professionalism as a leader or an emerging leader, make sure to act like it. Update your LinkedIn profile.
