Here's an observation-based guide on 7 LinkedIn features that can get you hired:
1) All-Star Everything:
Make sure your details are updated - location, #current position, education, display picture, top 5 skills, and summary. An #allstar profile is great for your profile hygiene.
2) Credibility++:
Adding license(s) shoots up your #credibility and chances to be hired as a #professional. #Certifications act as an added confirmation on your eagerness to #upskill, especially if you’re a #freelancer.
3) 'Open To Work':
LinkedIn now offers an opportunity to communicate this right from your #displaypicture, which prominently showcases your #OpenToWork your status to #employers before they even land on your profile.
4) Headline Your Forte:
The #headline of your profile not only helps you target the correct #keywords to get you higher on LinkedIn #searchresults, it also helps summarise your #forte for a #potentialemployer to filter for #rolerelevance all in one glance.
5) Skill Badge-It-Up:
One of the latest features on LinkedIn allows you to take timed quizzes pertaining to a specific technical #skillset to #certify you as an expert in that skill. A #skillbadge, in our opinion, just makes an employer’s job easier in finding the right fit. *wink wink*
6) LinkedIn Premium (free for the 1st month):
#LinkedInPremium gives you access to #InMail credits that make potential employers or #decisionmakers more accessible. This coupled with #insights into who looked at your profile, are the kind of queues that come handy while #activelyapplying.
7) Gear Up:
#Interview nervousness is normal. However, prepping for the prospective questions does help ease into the process. 'Interview Prep' is another one of LinkedIn’s features that will help you seal the deal!
If you're also on an active job hunt, I hope these few pointers prove to be helpful. On a side note, I'm hiring for my latest venture @vavodigital. You're welcome to check out the vacancies and send in your applications at [email protected]
