LinkedIn is an essential part of our career management and job search and I gave a master class on this last week.

Many job seekers want to get ‘the edge’ in their job search and an effective LinkedIn profile could be it.
I regularly get people requesting to connect with me through saying they are a friend, or saying that we have worked together at XXXX company, the company they work at. Why do they do this? I’m very easy to find online and they could email me. Or they could create a personal request.

Are you checking out the stats on ‘Who’s viewed your profile? Most people I talk with never do this so I’ve recorded a video to talk you through what to do.

I still have new clients who can’t see the relevance, and I talk to career professionals who don’t understand why LinkedIn keeps making changes. What many (most?) don’t realise is that we, as individuals are not the main focus of LinkedIn – they only make money from us if you choose a premium solution, much more of LinkedIn’s profit is from the marketing and talent solutions sold to recruiters.

Recruiters have a special app – Recruiter Corporate which means that they see LinkedIn profiles in a different way to users like you and me. Did you know a recruiter – Can’t see CVs attached to LinkedIn profiles? I know how to get yours seen.
