CareerBuilder and Monster.com are now websites of the past. More and more employers and professionals are leveraging LinkedIn to seek connections and potential candidates for the positions YOU want.
Below are your 6 quick tips to get noticed:
1. Get a LinkedIn. If you don’t have one, you’re living the dark ages and missing a prime opportunity to network and find the job you want.
2.Download the LinkedIn jobs app on your iPhone or Android for job searching on the go.
3.Post a profile photo. It’s human nature to connect with a human face – even if it’s just a picture. Adding a photo to your profile almost instantly improves your virtual presence.
4.Match your profile to your resume. Employers are utilizing LinkedIn as a search engine to find their ideal candidates. The more robust your profile, the better chance you get noticed.
5.If you’re not on LinkedIn as much as you are on Facebook, you’re doing something wrong. Make time to invest in making connections and building your career. Just like Facebook, LinkedIn has a news feed where you can post and interact with other professionals. Staying active in this community is sure to get you noticed!
6.Utilize the job search engine LinkedIn has to offer. Using the advance features on the tool allow you to customize your search AND apply for jobs directly through the sight.
