The 5-Second Test: What Your Online Presence Really Says About You

Here’s the brutal truth: you have 5 seconds to make an impression online—and most professionals are flunking that test.

Think It’s About Your Résumé? Think Again.

Before they read your bio, they scan your vibe.Before they check your qualifications, they judge your confidence.Before they hear your pitch, they’re asking:

“Do I trust this person?”“Would I want to work with them?”“Do they even know who they are?”

Spoiler: Your profile is answering for you.

Try the 5-Second Test

Open your LinkedIn, personal website, or portfolio. Spend exactly 5 seconds looking at it.

Then ask:

• What three words describe this person?

• Is there a clear value or voice?

• Would I remember this profile tomorrow?

If it feels vague, flat, or templated, you don’t need an update. You need brand surgery.
