5 Steps for Job seekers

Are you looking for your “Dream Job” using Linkedin? Start by thinking like your “Dream Recruiter” whose “Dream Candidate” might be you, yes you! Here are 5 steps to consider when searching for the best job opportunities on the market. Let’s review the following points keeping in mind your Linkedin profile to verify if you need to take some necessary actions to make yourself more visible.

·??????Customize your LinkedIn profile URL

It's a quick and easy way to differentiate yourself from all the other LinkedIn users making you easy to find! Consider this point as your branding and lead generation tool.

Example: https://www.dhirubhai.net/in/iuliia-julia-miasnikova-94231699/ to https://www.dhirubhai.net/in/iuliiamiasnikova/

·??????The Headline is the place for your Dream Job Title

Focus on where you are going instead of where you currently are. If you’re a “University Student” think about your ideal job and highlight your desired Job Title in the headline. This simple action will make it easier for potential recruiters and hiring managers, who are actively searching for profiles like yours, to identify your profile quickly as containing keywords they will be targeting. ?It will make your profile stand out from thousands of others in the search results. ??

Example: “Student at Bocconi University” to “Junior Marketing Specialist / Seeking part-time / Entry-Level position / Internship”

·??????Use the Right Language

Use multiple languages to make it easier for other members and recruiters to find you. You can use English (for the international market or multinational companies) and your local language, if different, to add more visibility to your profile. Make sure to include in your profile any relevant keywords for which you want to be noticed and found.

·??????Highlight your Proficiency, Knowledge, and Skills

Make sure to mention professional Software and Application knowledge, any skills, licenses, and certifications you possess. Very often recruiters are assigned highly specific requests in these areas from either clients or hiring managers. It’s up to you to make it easier for them to identify you by indicating as much information as possible in your profile. Be the one who meets the requirements!

·??????Make it easy to reach out to you

Your LinkedIn profile is your generic online resume. Remember that not all LinkedIn members have Premium profiles, not everyone is allowed to send you an InMail with a Job Offer when they see your page. Make it easy for them to reach you! Include your contact details (email address and possibly also a phone number) in the summary box.
