Boost Your LinkedIn Profile to Attract Recruiters
For a lot of people LinkedIn is the easiest way to submit a resume in order to get a better job or simply to attend an interview.
Even if this platform is extremely simple it has a quite complex algorithm behind it, so if you have ever wondered what you need to do to make recruiters look for you and not for you to look for them, you should read this article.
First of all you need to be very careful with your profile picture. It should be decent and express confidence to the person who wants to meet you for an interview. I have seen a lot of people who use profile pictures that they have on Instagram or other social networks. I think it should have made a clear difference. You have to understand that the profile picture is the first impact a person has with your profile, so it should create a good impression.
Secondly try to connect with people you already have in your network. Whether it is old friends or HR people try to react to their posts, but do it in a professional way without disturbing or creating spam. It’s very possible that by doing this you may end up finding out about new job opportunities or someone will see your comment and click on your profile.
In addition, every week feel free to add 15–20 new people in the field in which you work or in which you want to find a job.
