LinkedIn: Custom URL

When you first create your account, it will assign a random URL which points to your page. It starts as a combination of your name along with a string of random letters and numbers. This is your first opportunity to customize your profile in a way that can help your search significantly.

• From the edit profile page, click on the little gear icon next to your URL (under your picture).
• On the right side of the next screen you will see your URL again. Click on the pencil to edit it.
• Try to reserve something as close to your name as you can. If you have a somewhat common

  name, someone else may have beaten you to it already. If that happens try using a middle initial or some other abbreviation of your first or last names to stay as close as you can to your actual name. It will end up looking like www.linkedin.com/in/firstnamelastname
