How to get job with LinkedIn



Maintain the accuracy of your profile.

According to LinkedIn's site, users with a profile image are 14 times more likely to receive page views, and others who share expertise are 13 times more likely to receive profile views. LinkedIn has over 45,000 skills to pick from to beef up your profile, so if you want Gone Bananas to remember you, make sure to frequently refresh your profile, have a profile picture, and include your notable skills.


Be as detailed as possible about your existing skills and goals. 

To ensure you're using LinkedIn correctly to find a career, don't leave anything out about your existing skills and goals. If it makes sense, use your headline to share your key goal, and have all of your expertise on your website. You don't want it to seem that you haven't updated your page in a while, as recruiters and employers will disregard you if this occurs.


Emphasize recent experience. 

You want your recent experience to be visible to everyone who reads your blog, particularly if you're actively communicating with contacts and companies to land a work — after all, that's why you're probably reading this article.


You should change the heading. 

When anyone searches for you, they just see your picture, name, and headline (which is mentioned below your photo). Your headline should be eye-catching and emphasise what you do or the kind of job you're applying for. "HR specialist linking staff with managers" and "Chemical engineer in the public sector" are examples of simple headlines that can attract interest as opposed to generic headlines like "Chemical engineer in the public sector."


Let people know you're available. 

If you can announce the fact that you're looking for a job, do so. Use your headline to make the announcement. For example, "Writer seeking businesses in need of a friendly ghost (or ghostwriter)" and "Petroleum engineer ready to strike oil and make you rich" might catch a recruiter or hiring manager's attention.


Let it known that you are available. 

If you're able to declare that you're looking for work, do so. To make the announcement, use the headline. For example, "Writer finding companies in need of a friendly ghost (or ghostwriter)" and "Petroleum engineer ready to strike oil and make you rich" can pique the interest of a recruiter or hiring manager.


Expand the network to the first degree. 

Your connections will increase your visibility and proximity to other connections exponentially. By importing your contact details from sites such as Gmail, LinkedIn makes it simple to chat with people you know.


Investigate and track the firms you're involved in. 

During the career search, LinkedIn makes it easy to locate and track businesses. Create a list of firms you'd like to work with and join them on LinkedIn if you haven't already. This will keep you up to date with business announcements and potential job opportunities when they become open.


Make use of the Advanced Search. 

Use LinkedIn's Advanced Search to look up your favourite businesses. Create a list of the connections that are synonymous with Gone Bananas, for example. You should contact these individuals based on their relationship with the group. You can inquire about the business community while they work there. If they are a customer or a service provider, you might inquire about the experience of doing business with them. Get imaginative and have fun when researching so you can figure out how to approach the business for a position when you're done.


Request an introduction. 

When you're ready to contact Gone Bananas, you should ask your connection(s) to make an introduction to someone inside the organisation to whom they're related.


Don't be a wallflower. 

Be active on LinkedIn, and be authentic and present, as Weiner says. As alerts, including any posts you write, videos you share, and so on. Participate in LinkedIn communities and communicate with others. The more you communicate and post as a professional, the more likely you are to be heard and recognised.


Participate in LinkedIn Professional Groups. Conduct an Advanced Search to find specialist associations in your field and get active. This will help you extend your network, demonstrate your skills (when you participate in online debates and answer questions), and potentially link you to organisations that you want to serve in the future. When investigating communities, you can join others who have seen recent action. Otherwise, if a party does not have daily or routine online contact, you will be wasting your time.


Investigate your potential manager and management staff. 

You will use LinkedIn to profile recruiting managers and interviewers before going in for an interview to learn about their likes, preferences, and more. You will use this knowledge during your interview to establish relatability and demonstrate that you've done your homework.


During working hours, network.

According to Mashable, only 8.33 percent of Americans use LinkedIn during working hours, compared to almost 30 percent of people who use Facebook during work hours, meaning that you may get more contact and attention if you change your status, network, and chat with people and businesses on LinkedIn during business hours. Experiment with this at various points of the day to see what performs well in terms of comments and other experiences.
