Cambridge Who’s Who Profile Image
My Online Profile: Picture Perfect
One of the most frequently asked questions that Cambridge Who’s Who members have for the technical support department is, “What kind of image can I upload to my profile and how do I do this?” Today we take a look at adding images to your Cambridge Who’s Who profile.
Cambridge Who’s Who allows you to upload your photo, company logo or business card to your online profile. Utilizing the space in your profile allotted for an image is essential to making your biography of interest to other Cambridge Who’s Who members. Your image will be the first thing that catches another member’s attention and draws them in to reading the rest of your profile and learning more about you and what you have to offer.
At the moment Cambridge Who’s Who only publishes one photo alongside your online profile at a time, but we will increase this number in the future. We recommend that you upload either a photo of yourself, your company logo or a scanned image of your personal business card. Whichever you choose, make sure that the picture is of high-quality and relates to your business profile.
Keep in mind that Cambridge Who’s Who is a networking tool for executives, professionals and entrepreneurs, and so your profile image should convey that you are indeed an executive, professional or entrepreneur! The most common profile picture is a headshot taken from the chest up. A simple image like this complements your profile instead of detracting from it.
If you do not have a picture you would like to upload the next best thing would be your company logo. Cambridge Who’s Who members who view your profile will associate your information with the logo and remember the connection should they come across it again. The last type of image you can upload is your business card. The problem with uploading your business card is that it will be scaled to fit in the space, and this may distort the image making it difficult to read the card. Unless you have a very high quality image of your business card, save this option as a last resort and try to upload an image of yourself or your company logo first.
Now that you have decided which image you are going to use, it is time to upload it to your profile. To do this, follow these instructions:
- Log in to your Cambridge Who’s Who profile using your uniquely assigned username and password.
- Go to “My Profile” from the sidebar.
- Select “Edit Your Profile” then scroll down to the tabbed sections and select the “Images” tab.
- Select the “Browse” button to search your computer for the correct image file.
- Remember to select “Save Changes,” so you do not lose your image.
Here are some guidelines to keep in mind when choosing the correct image to accompany your Cambridge Who’s Who profile.
- All emailed and uploaded images must be in either JPEG or TIFF format. If it is a JPEG file, set quality to high (compression to low). Other file types will not upload correctly so be sure to check that you have saved your image as the correct file type.
- Personal Photos – If you are using a photo make sure that it is at least 300 dpi or if you are scanning a photo make sure that it is at least a 5″ x 7″ photo for the best quality.
- Business Cards – If you are using a business card make sure that you quality/resolution is at least 900 dpi.
