If you want the recruiters to find you, review these tips.

If you want the recruiters to find you, review the tips below.

  • To search keywords, you may also go to job description, use the tool “WORD CLOUD”, available free of charge at – wordle.net.
  • Your LinkedIn profile is very often your first point of introduction. Make it powerful, make it memorable and make it something that you’re proud to share.
  • Use your own profile keywords, for your summary. This is where you summarize your professional brand, why you do it and what you are known for. Emphasize the areas you add value to and where your experience comes from utilizing the soft skills, which have supported your career thus far.
  • In your experience section – using the keywords, start your job descriptions with a few short lines that define the overall scope of the position and your responsibility.
  • Communicate important information and demonstrate the positive results you have delivered in each position; include all details that you would include on a two-page resume, because this is where you can expand on all your accomplishments.
  • Choose your best head shot for your picture. A Graduation picture (the professional ones taken by the school) is a great option. Use a solid colored background and smile.
  • Customize your LinkedIn URL and remove all numbers, keep it simple.
  • Languages – Indicate level (based on five options) of proficiency and include Gujarati, Hindi, and Urdu – all recognized by LinkedIn.
  • Add skills, honors, publications and awards to your profile as well as your volunteer work.
  • Provide contact information that you are comfortable with – do not post your number if you are not ready for incoming calls and messages from numbers you do not recognize.

If you want to be found, through LinkedIn, use these strategies to optimize your profile.
