Hi I'm Sandra Sapp from AAPC's National Advisory: Board Career Advancement Committee. I have 5 tips on choosing the best picture for your LinkedIn profile.

1. Reflect your role. Choose a photo that aligns with your professional identity. Consider the industry norms and dress accordingly.

2. Professional attire. Very important. Op in for business casual or industry appropriate clothing. Ensure a clean and well-groomed appearance.

3. Clear and high quality. Use high resolution to avoid pixelization. Ensure a clear sharp photo for a professional look.

4. Framing matters. Remember, this is your potential employer that may hire you. Focus on the head and shoulders to highlight your face. Keep the background simple and unobtrusive.

5. Authenticity. Choose the photo that reflects your personality while maintaining professionalism. Aim for a natural and approachable expression.
