So I attended Rock your profile sessions with LinkedIn experts with Great Learning. This old dog is trying to learn new tricks. May the universe align with her!
The basic point they tried to drive home is 'Your profile is your story. So make it interesting'
Work experience
Add examples. Write your own content and share it. Feature those stories. It will help the recruiter to know what you are up to without going through your entire profile.
Work experience should be detailed, not short, and very objective kind. Take a look at the examples in sample profiles.
Volunteer experience
Are always good to have. It will give a great vibe to the recruiter.
Do mention technical-specific skills. But don't restrict to that. Add general skills as well, because many a times recruiter would search with generic skills. Make sure that you are included in the wider search
The cover story is a relatively new feature. It's recommended having a small video of yourself, introducing yourself, preferably closing with a call for action
It is recommended to write your own posts, and add featured posts. It will give an idea of what you are working on currently/more recently. Celebrate occasions and post them on LinkedIn
At times recruiters filter candidates who follow the company. So follow the company you are looking out for opportunity.
This is one of the star points. Spending 15 minutes a day on the professional platform will help us to keep abreast of new developments as well as help to improve the profile and reachability.
