Thanks to the Internet, today it is easy to find almost everything online like favorite movies, fun offers similar to the Danish Bonuskoder til Casino og Bookmakers, or the latest news. When it comes to finding a job, LinkedIn is one of the first places where people search for it. It’s currently one of the biggest career development platforms where you can bump into any different opportunities through connecting with people around the globe. So, to be able to boost your profile on this platform and put your name and skills out there, here are a few tips for you:

Make Your Profile Authentic

When creating a LinkedIn profile make sure that you represent yourself in the best possible light, but still stay realistic while doing that. Show all your skills and experiences and write everything you might consider relevant to your future employer. Keep in mind that this is not a resume you are writing, this is a platform that can give insight into more than just your past experience, and education. This is the place where you can constantly take action to show the world how professional and dedicated you are.

Keep Everything Up To Date

Try to make your LinkedIn profile updated, as you are risking looking unprofessional otherwise. Update the page every time you change a job, and write what were your responsibilities, tasks and job position. Moreover, you could ask a coworker or a superior to write you a LinkedIn recommendation- which will be a huge plus to boosting your account. In case you have acquired new skills, went through training or attended a new course, make sure to add those as well. You can even choose to add a new profile photo every now and then.

Fill in That Headline

Even if you think that filling in the headline on your profile is not that big of a deal, you should fill it in. This short text is meant to show your objectives, your goals, current skills and anything else you might find important to mention. You can represent yourself in the way that you want to and make your profile even more authentic. What’s more important, make sure to highlight the experience relevant to the job position you are hunting for and really make this headline stand out in a positive way. 

Your Availability Status

In case you are looking for a job currently, make sure to change that on your LinkedIn profile. Letting others know that you are available and in active pursuit of a job will make their search easier. As a matter of fact, it will make your search easier, too.  Moreover, you can add that piece of information to your headline as well. 

Connecting & Following

Connecting with people is the key behind the whole LinkedIn. So, try to connect with people and companies relevant to your profession. For example, if you are looking for a company near you that deals in marketing, make sure to follow all the nearby marketing agencies or even their HRs, recruiters, etc. This way they will get a hint of what you are doing, and if they have a vacancy it is highly likely that they will contact you if they like your LinkedIn profile.
