A complete LinkedIn profile is your online CV and should sell you as a professional – without having to be there! Now we will tell you why an updated LinkedIn profile can be crucial to your career.
YOU’RE CHOSEN
In the digital society we live in, many companies require you to have a complete LinkedIn profile that is updated with the latest. If you are good at promoting your personal brand, you are probably also a good ambassador for the employer – something that some see as a clear advantage.
YOU CAN LOSE THE CHANCE OF YOUR DREAM JOB
Today, many recruiters work with search or headhunting. This means that through LinkedIn you can search for a specific position or competence and get yourself on the list. This way you can get an exciting job offer even though you are not looking for a new job yourself. Pretty smooth, right?
Have you heard of LinkedIn’s function that shows recruiters that you are interested in new assignments, without the whole world needing to know?
How to use LinkedIn
- Go to Jobs
- Under Jobs that may interest you, click Update Career Goal
- Click on On under the text Let the recruiters know that you are open to new opportunities
YOU DO NOT BUILD A NETWORK
Because LinkedIn is a professional network with the aim of connecting with others and expanding their network, it is important to utilize it. Every person you meet at a meeting, during a mingle or at dinner, add it to LinkedIn – you never know how you can help each other in the future. The bigger the network you have, the greater the possibility of finding a new job or getting a foot somewhere in the future.
