LinkedIn Top Tips for Job Seekers!
If you are actively looking for a new job it’s imperative you have a strong LinkedIn presence! In today’s competitive market place any extra information you can give a potential employer can only help your chances of securing that dream job! Many employers will review your ‘LinkedIn’ profile before they select candidates for interview, therefore it’s essential to stand out!
Here are our 5 Top tips!
- Photo and Job Title - Use a decent and recent photo where you are smiling! Ensure you have your Job Title underneath your photo.
- Key Words - Are your specialist key areas eg Finance, ACCA or ACA. Recruiters and potential employers will use ‘LinkedIn’ to search these key skills. It’s very important you add “KEY WORDS” throughout your profile as many times as possible, so that you can be found and come up higher in the list!
- Major Achievements - Not only should you display experience, similar to your CV, but you should also add “major achievements” or “career highlights” as part of your profile on each job section. This separates you from the run of the mill person!
- Recommendations - These are your references in black and white and can be found at the bottom of your LinkedIn profile page. It's brilliant way to add instant value to your profile. It’s also important to write a few yourself on others – repay the favour!
- Learn from others - View other peoples profiles similar to your own. What have they done that you could also do… and maybe you can do ever better!
