    Create Pro LinkedIn Headshots In SECONDS (Google AI) | Audio Edition #006

    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. 📥 *FREE HEADSHOT PROMPT EXAMPLES* Hit the link below to grab examples for each part of my prompt formula along with an example of a fully fleshed out prompt for optimizing resume bullets (for free): → https://AustinBelcak.com/Headshot 🛠️ *VIDEO RESOURCES* Google AI Studio: https://aistudio.google.com/prompts/new_chat Photofeeler: https://photofeeler.com 🚀 *READY TO LAND MORE INTERVIEWS & OFFERS?* Our client Becky was struggling to gain traction in her job search.
