LinkedIn isn’t just essential in the standard recruitment process. It is especially helpful when it comes ‘informal recruitment’, where hiring managers seek to cherry-pick people for their most critical and higher-paying roles.
So, if you’re out to get the best possible jobs going, make your LinkedIn profile top-notch!
Your Executive Agent is here to help you expertly configure your profile so you get noticed by the right employers.
Be someone who creates their future.
Get the Executive Kickstarter.
Perfect for people who want an impeccable CV, LinkedIn profile, and covering letters for powerful job applications.
Humans are visual creatures, they love to see a face. Make sure your photo is immaculate, highly professional and of high resolution.
LinkedIn is not Facebook. The connections made here should be meaningful. Use the wording of the connection request to create rapport with the request of the recipient.
Don’t leave gaps in your experience. Even if it’s a trivial high school job at McDonald’s, still show it.
The writer of this article suggests that third-person writing is awkward, particularly when the medium is something inherently first-person such as LinkedIn.
Whilst for most roles Executive Agents does not recommend putting a summary on your CV, we do suggest you make use of the feature on LinkedIn. There is much more space to add detail on LinkedIn relative to your CV.
Join interest groups, and participate. Get noticed on LinkedIn.
Did you know that you can prevent your current boss from seeing all the changes you’re making to your profile? Don’t let them know you’re actively looking to jump ship.
LinkedIn profiles with a huge depth and breadth of qualifications are one symptom of the confusion pervasive among professionals with a tonne of training and education. This can send a mixed message to people reading your profile.
Start by reading your profile from a neutral reader’s perspective. What are your feelings about this person? Do you know with certainty what is being communicated to the public about you?
Then pick one area you want to focus on and clean up any non-related information such as listing a job, experience, or industry that has nothing to do with what you are trying to communicate.
Your Executive Agent can help you overhaul your profile and work with you to ensure that you’re projecting the best possible LinkedIn Profile to the world!
