These 10 tips will help you get more results from your LinkedIn profile as you search for your next job:
- Make sure your LinkedIn profile is up to date, listing highlights from current and past jobs.
- Check the option that lets recruiters know you’re open to new opportunities.
- Like and comment on articles in your newsfeed.
- Share articles you’ve read, adding a comment about what others can learn, too.
- Ask a connection to write a LinkedIn recommendation and offer to write one in return.
- Message connections or comment on status updates to say congrats on the new job or promotion.
- Show your face – literally. Profiles with headshots get 14 times more views than those without, according to LinkedIn.
- View LinkedIn as your blog; write and publish articles that highlight your expertise.
- Endorse the skills of your current and former colleagues. They will likely return the favor.
- Check your LinkedIn messages. You never know who’s reaching out with a great opportunity.
