Easily Create a QR Code for your LinkedIn Profile

LinkedIn has added a new feature that lets you share a QR code for your LinkedIn profile, and scan a QR code for someone else’s profile. If you choose to add QR codes to your networking card and resume, then you are increasing your chances of getting an interview for the job that you want and making yourself noticed.

I first came across QR codes in a group discussion on LinkedIn and I was confused. Now, I know that creating your own code is very easy and it shouldn’t cost you a penny. Therefore, don’t let yourself tricked into letting yourself charged for that as there are a number of websites that provide them for free, including QRstuff.com and besides that, you can do it straight from your LinkedIn Profile too.

I have here the perfect guides for you. Be sure that I am going to keep it simple, yet remember that this feature was added as an app update. Therefore, it is only up to you to make sure you’re running the latest version of the LinkedIn app if you want to follow the steps presented in the first procedure.
