Your LinkedIn banner has exactly one job: tell viewers what you do and what you're looking for. That's it.

The reality? Most people will see it on mobile, squinting at a tiny screen while scrolling on their commute.

What actually works:

Big, clear text (think 3-4 words max)

Solid colour background (no busy photos)

Your role + goal (e.g., "DP Business Teacher | Available July 2025")

Skip the stock photos taking up the whole space.

Skip the skylines.

Skip the motivational quotes.

Make it readable on a phone screen in 2 seconds.

Done.
