Here’s 3 Quick LinkedIn Tips For Job Seekers

This answer was originally published by Mindi Rosser on Quora.


If you’re a job seeker, you MUST craft a great LinkedIn profile to get the attention of recruiters. Check out this LinkedIn Profile Guide to get the nitty-gritty details of revamping your LinkedIn profile. Then, plan to spend a couple afternoons tweaking your LinkedIn profile, or hire someone to do it for you.

I’ve found that my own LinkedIn profile tends to attract a good number of recruiters. When I ask how they find me, it’s almost always based upon keywords in my profile. Figure out which keywords matter most to the jobs you want to attract or apply to. Weave them throughout your profile summary, job descriptions and any other areas where it makes sense.

Ensure your profile is 100% complete. If you don’t have a kick-ass profile, recruiters will likely not consider you a top candidate for the position even if you have the right keywords.

Make your LinkedIn profile visually appealing, including various types of media and visual imagery to break up the text. Showcase your personality and accomplishments with style.

If you’d like specific tips or would like me to give your profile a complementary assessment, simply connect with me on LinkedIn or message me directly on Quora. Happy to help!
