The benefits of maintaining and keeping in touch with your connections on LinkedIn are huge. I have looked at some ways candidates can give themselves the best chance of being noticed and have come up with and found some useful information.
Having a full detailed profile with your background and experience is vital. Getting your profile to that All-Star level will give you the best chance possible of being noticed.
The more someone knows about you, the more attractive you could be to a potential new employer.
Top Tips
- Profiles with photos are 10 times more likely to be viewed by recruiters
- Remember LinkedIn is a professional network, not a social networking site.
- Sometimes a recruiter may only take a split second at your profile- Use the headline to get what you want across.
- Try to show your personality. - Hobbies, interests.
- Educational background, volunteer work etc. Be sure to have it mentioned, as you never know what you have in common with the person viewing your profile.
- Like, share and comment on posts, it will help get you noticed as you will appear more in your connection’s feeds.
