This is an Audio Edition episode—originally published on YouTube and optimized for audio listening.

Your LinkedIn headshot might be the reason you’re not getting job interviews. Recruiters spend more time looking at profile pictures than any other part of your LinkedIn profile. And those images give them a first impression that lasts. In this video, I’ll show you how to use Google AI's image model to instantly turn an ordinary selfie into a professional, photorealistic LinkedIn headshot (no expensive photographer required). You’ll learn how to adjust lighting, backgrounds, and wardrobe using AI tools to create a recruiter-ready profile picture that boosts credibility, trust, and helps you land more interviews.

Note: When using AI to edit your headshot, the goal is to maintain the authenticity of the picture. You should be confident that the final product looks and feels like “you.” Too many edits will make the picture feel too “AI” and can make the picture look less like the real you, both of which will hurt more than they help.

Note On AI Use: AI isn't meant to be a replacement for you. If you're simply copying and pasting outputs, you're not going to see the benefits. Instead, you need to view AI as a supplement that saves you energy via automation, amplifies your critical thinking as a brainstorm partner, etc. Use it to remove 80% of the tedious baseline work so you save 100% of your energy for the high ROI actions that move the needle.
