Are you overlooking LinkedIn in your job search? It could be costing you opportunities! 🚫💼 Many job seekers find LinkedIn overwhelming and feel like it’s "not for them." Maybe you’ve thought, “I’ll focus on LinkedIn later” or “I’m not ready to put myself out there yet.” The truth is, this mindset might be holding you back more than you realize. LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network, used by recruiters, employers, and professionals every single day. But it’s also misunderstood and underutilized by many people actively looking for jobs. You might not realise that... 🔍 LinkedIn isn’t as competitive as you think. While it’s easy to feel intimidated, the reality is that most people are in the same boat, unsure of how to use it to their advantage. This means the opportunity is there for those who can navigate it smartly – and we’re here to show you how! 👥 The people on LinkedIn are more supportive than you expect. Everyone has been in your shoes at one point. Professionals and recruiters often want to help and connect, but they can’t find you if you’re not visible or active on the platform. Our latest workshop is all about using LinkedIn effectively to elevate and accelerate your job search! Head over to our EventBrite page to learn more and secure your spot: 👉 https://lnkd.in/ev6PmAsw Don’t let the LinkedIn opportunity pass you by. It could be the key to transforming your job search! 💡 Shea Harty Pamela Cepeda Flor de Maria Paredes Mattos #LinkedInForJobSeekers #JobSearchHelp #CareerDevelopment #EmpowermentFoundation

If you have been laid off and we have worked together in the past, please do not hesitate to get in touch and let me know how I can help you. - Can I share your open-to-work post with my network? - Can I endorse one or more of your skills? - Can I write a LinkedIn recommendation for you? - Can I help you with a job posting at my company (Fearless)? An experiment conducted by LinkedIn over 5 years on the “People You May Know” tool revealed that weak contacts, people with whom you share only 10 mutual connections, are more productive for job hunting than strong contacts (source: “LinkedIn Ran Social Experiments on 20 Million Users Over Five Years” by Natasha Singer and published in the New York Times on September 24, 2022). Sharing your open-to-work post in my feed is an excellent way for you to get attention in your job search from your weak contacts. Endorsed skills contribute to the strength of your profile, which is important for the LinkedIn algorithm. That means you're more likely to show up in LinkedIn searches, which is exactly what recruiters use to find potential candidates. By endorsing your skills, I can help your profile be more visible to recruiters and employers. Recommendations on LinkedIn do more than help boost your profile’s visibility in LinkedIn’s search results. Positive feedback from colleagues validates your professional abilities.

If you're a job seeker LinkedIn is like a colour by numbers book, if you fill everything in with your profile you're more likely to be successful: "Your ultimate guide to using LinkedIn to get a new job. From using the ‘Open To Work’ badge, to updating your ‘About’ section, here’s how to make your profile stand out on LinkedIn." “Include a good headshot,” writes Fast Company contributor Jennifer Lewi. It’s an easy addition that can radically increase the likelihood you’ll get outreach from recruiters. And frequent engagement on posts—not just writing about how you want a new job—can help you build up your network and credibility. “Regularly posting and engaging with content allows you to remain at the forefront of people’s feeds and actively contribute to the community,” writes Lewi. Completing your profile is the number one thing to do as 90% of people on here have an incomplete profile. That includes having your banner and headline say what you want from a new company. Reaching out to all of those people who are hiring on LinkedIn is also key and they can be found in a filter search of you have Career Premium or any other kind of Premium. Not rocket science but you do need to self promote. If you don't someone else will get that job. What do you think, what would you add?

Level up your job search with powerful LinkedIn tips! 💡 Finding your dream job can be tough, but leveraging LinkedIn can be a game-changer. Here are a few key things to keep in mind: 1. Optimize Your Profile💻: Craft a compelling headline that showcases your value and write a clear, concise "About" section highlighting your skills and experience. Sprinkle relevant keywords throughout your profile to make it easier for recruiters to find you. 2. Network Like a Pro: Target potential employers, industry leaders, and those in your desired field. Personalize your connection requests by mentioning something specific about their profile or work. Don't just connect, participate in industry discussions, share valuable content, and comment thoughtfully on other people's posts. This positions you as a thought leader and gets you noticed. 3. Go Beyond "Apply Now" 📨 : Don't underestimate the power of a personalized message to a recruiter highlighting your interest in a specific role (even if they haven't posted yet!). Utilize LinkedIn's "Open to Work" feature to discreetly signal to recruiters that you're actively seeking new opportunities. Bonus Tip: Consistency is key! By implementing these strategies and actively engaging on LinkedIn, you'll increase your visibility and attract exciting opportunities 😊 What are your best LinkedIn tips for landing a job?
