Subscribing to LinkedIn Premium generally helps users tailor their targeted job to the algorithm needed.
Look at various job postings for which one would be your ideal company and position. Watch what keywords and skills they use and add them to your profile if you have the knowledge. Some may say O365, Google platforms, or others that are specific to certain companies.

1. Headline (most important)
Don’t just write “Virtual Assistant”.
Write:
Virtual Assistant | Helping Busy Founders Stay Organized & Save Time
Or:
Virtual Assistant | Admin, Email & Research Support for Small Businesses
2. Profile photo
Clear, bright, professional
Neutral background
Friendly expression (approachable > stiff)
3. About section (3 short parts)
Who you help
What you do well
Why it matters
Example:
I help entrepreneurs and small teams stay focused by handling admin, email management, scheduling, and research. I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and focused on making clients’ lives easier.
4. Experience
Even if you’re new:
Freelance / Personal projects
School, volunteer, or online work
Focus on tasks and outcomes, not titles
5. Skills
Add:
Email & calendar management
Data entry
Research
Microsoft Office / Google Workspace
Communication
6. First post
Introduce yourself:
What you do
Who you want to help
What services you offer
Key rule:
Clarity beats creativity. Simple, specific profiles get more clients.
