Skills & Endorsement- Ladder to your dream job!!

As number 9 is considered as most important in Hindu Mythology, so as my 9th Article of LinkedIn series which is on Skills and Endorsement

As 2 days back, I discussed relevance of LinkedIn Learning, some of you must have already started using LinkedIn Learning, if not, give it a shot :) It will help you.

Whenever you complete any course and add it to your profile, add relevant skills from that course. It will help recruiter to found you.

Let’s simplify it with an example,

You are a fresher and want to start your career as Social Media Marketer, but you don’t know anything. So you have to start it from the scratch. 

Give below are simple steps which you have to follow-

1. Search Social Media Marketing jobs on LinkedIn
2. Find what are the skills required to get the job in the same
3. Search courses related to that skills
4. Find out which is short and easy one at first (When you complete one course it will give you encouragement to do more and self-satisfaction)
5. I will suggest you to write down important facts or points on notebook as it will help you later on (At interview stage)
6. Suppose you have completed Facebook Marketing, start running campaigns (Your basics are clear but with practical knowledge it’s nothing)
7. Don’t forget to add skills to your profile too after completion of course (You can add up to 50 skills to your LinkedIn profile, Skills with the most endorsements are listed first, and skills without endorsements are displayed according to the date they were added)

You are all set. 

As you are a premium member of LinkedIn (When you buy LinkedIn learning subscription, you become PREMIUM member), it will give you edge. You will be in top list of applicants whenever you will apply for job through LinkedIn

After getting your job, ask your colleagues or clients to endorse your skills. It will generate authenticity.

You can reorder your skills within a category or choose up to 3 skills to feature in your top skills. (There is much more to this, but that i will discuss in LinkedIn Series 2 ;), This series is to clear your basics of profile)

If you want to make career in technical area, then also LinkedIn Learning will help you.

All you have to sit down for a month and start learning. In 1-2 months you will master those areas which no one can explain it to you. Ultimately you only have to do it, then why not to do it with LinkedIn Learning!!

Whenever you add new skill to your profile, you increase your chances to get right opportunity for you!!
