How to customize your headline, the 120 characters that appear right under your name to build your brand online.

Key Points

• “MBA student or graduate” is not enough, as it fails to communicate value or distinction.
  • Don’t settle for default, as this is usually your current job, not what you aspire to.
  • Do not use jargon or clichés
  • Do not use a sentence, just punchy phrases that are easy to read and make the visitor want to know more.
  • Make it jammed with information and suggestions of the impact you can make in your target organizations.
