Never underestimate the power of your LinkedIn profile in helping you stand out to recruiters. Here’s what you need to do:
✔️ Creative, clear and to the point: have a well-crafted headline that doesn’t just list your job title, but your specific skill set, e.g. coding languages or project experience.
✔️ Use the summary tool to advertise your services.
✔️ Provide detailed descriptions of your work experience using industry-relevant keywords
✔️ Expand your network. What’s the use of an excellent profile if there’s no one to view it? Get connected.
✔️ Grow recommendations. You’ll build trust with potential clients quicker with thoughtful endorsements from previous collaborators.
✔️ Engage: share, comment and participate in discussions to showcase your industry knowledge. This will help to instil confidence in your abilities.
