LinkedIn is a great way for job seekers to get spotted by companies. We know that some of the most reputed firms check out profiles on Linkedln and they do recruit people who they feel fit the job profile. In case you are one of those people who are looking for a job and have heard about Linkedln but have no idea how to join the site and make you profile more attractive then the others then here are some Linkedln fresher tips that no one will tell you.
Your profile must be complete in all aspects
Recruiters always look for people who have a profile that is complete in all aspects and they should not feel that the person is trying to hide anything from them. Also an incomplete profile may give out the indication that the person is lazy and does not take things seriously.
Include a recent picture
Everyone will tell you to upload a picture, but it is vary necessary that you understand that the picture that you upload here must be a decent head shot. Don’t go for anything fancy or casual like you do when you are uploading pictures for Facebook as your outlook to life and work will be judged on the basis of this photograph.
Don’t forget to type in your address and always give your personal phone number
It is very important that you clearly state your address and that too, in a very direct manner. Also, give your own personal mobile number and in the unfortunate case that you don’t have one, gibe your landline number. (Then head out to the nearest market and get yourself a mobile.)
Encapsulation of your qualifications
The educational qualifications that you have must be mentioned chronologically and the years must be mentioned too.
Make a mention of all the special skills that you have
Everyone has something that makes them unique and if you know what you are good at make a mention of it in your profile. This does not mean that you brag and boast about anything as that will have a very negative effect on the person who is checking out your profile.
Make your profile public
Make sure that your profile is public because that is how you will get spotted by the various companies who are looking for employees. A customised URL will support your profile even more.
There are many things that you will get to hear about how to create and manage your Linkedln profile but the ones that I have mentioned above are LinkedIn fresher tips that no one will tell you.
