My experience with social media is certainly not new and at times it becomes a bit of an addiction. I am not talking about Facebook but something which a professional consultant like me, use a lot to promote their skills set and experience. Yes a self marketing free tool which helps you to get your next break, and this particular tool is called LinkedIn.
To me my LinkedIn profile represents a great
opportunity to promote myself in this era of Globalization and I always seem to
thought I am doing a great job.
Until recently when someone (a young HR manager)
told me that simply having a LinkedIn profile doesn’t guarantee a new job, you
need to be at forefront to make sure your profile is visible to the headhunter
out there.
The young HR manager did recommend me few pointers
which I thought are worth implementing and I thought sharing with you all.
Your LinkedIn profile should be more than a repeat
of your resume.
It should have the necessary keywords that will
make your profile visible when a HR Manager searches it on LinkedIn.
Making your name visible on Google Search. A
ranking of your name. Never thought that would be an issue; however you would
be surprised how many people out there have same name as yours.
Surprisingly my current linked profile views aren’t
that great however I done a few tweaks as per the recommendation and will be
tracking the progress of new ‘who viewed your profile’ to make sure its
reaching the right audience.
Changed my professional headline so that it has the
right Keywords
Took a snapshot of my the New ‘who vied my profile’
to track
Check Google rank for my name, which is number
already.
Happy to receive any further feedback from the experts out there as I know I have missed alot here.Here is my Linkedin Profile
