LinkedIn profile tips
Due to the existing skill shortages in Australia, employers and recruitment agencies are actively sourcing passive candidates either via their own networks or online, regardless of whether the candidate has expressed interest or not.
Therefore, it’s very important to keep your online profiles up to date and focused on your chosen career path. Wouldn’t it be great if you get headhunted instead of having to chase a job yourself? And if you don’t have an online profile, you’d better sign up now as these days it’s almost unprofessional not be on LinkedIn. In addition, you can also find jobs on LinkedIn and get connected via groups.
Here are some tips to enhance your LinkedIn profile and to make sure future recruiters can find you:
- Professional summary: this is where you state your professional career and experiences and your headline which is the most important part. Also make sure to select an Industry as recruiters use this field to search.
- Keywords and skills: Transfer your skills and keywords from your resume or from similar job descriptions in job search engines, this will make it easier for recruiters to find you in search results
- Make your profile ‘public’
- Your profile should always be up to date
- Get recommendations: used as a reference in advance
- Personal details: keep them private, recruiters will be able to connect to you via the social network settings
