How to get noticed with your LinkedIn profile

Yes, social media allows you express yourself and Snapchat is the new rave. But your LinkedIn profile should be taken seriously if you don’t want to go grey in the job market.
Here’s how to give your LinkedIn profile a facelift and start getting noticed by recruiters.

  • Show Your Achievements: Treat your profile like a CV because it is one. Include projects, volunteer works, languages and causes you care about: it doesn’t matter if all these are in your CV, recruiters want to know your other qualities, qualifications and interests. It might be a like-mind in “causes you care about” that will pique an employer’s interest in you and invite you for an interview. So, No, no information is unnecessary.
  • Don’t Overdo The Job Search: When a recruiter looks at your profile, your recent activities on LinkedIn are visible to them and it will be a huge turn off if they see you commenting “interested” under every job irrespective of job description or requirements. Comment when necessary and when the job fits your field and qualification, most times it is better to send your CV directly to the email in the job call post (most legit recruiters put email address, while some believe your profile is your CV and wants to use that)
  • Add Your Contact Details: What’s a LinkedIn profile without contact details? It’s okay to hide your phone number but at least display your email address to show employers you’re open to conversations and talks about employment.
  • Follow People, Companies and Join Like-Minded Groups: LinkedIn is bank of business information. While chasing your dream job, follow people you look up to, the big shots in the industry you want to work in, and the companies you would like to work with to stay abreast of all latest information and updates.  You can also join discussion groups in your industry; they create network and share important information like job openings, which can be to your advantage.

25 FACTS ABOUT OBAMA

By   KelseyWarner   on March 4, 2016 Inside Gov As the final remaining year of the Obama administration is well underway, the legacy that President   Barack Obama   will forge in history remains hotly contested.   Conservatives argue   Obama is the “worst president ever” while   liberals have claimed   he has “done more good for this country than any president before him.” He likely will not play the role of a “lame-duck” president, as the administration has yet to slow down. Obama currently finds himself in the middle of a   heated standoff   with the Republican-led Senate to fill a Supreme Court vacancy. He still pursues a workable   plan to close GuantanamoBay , one of his 2008 campaign promises. As his term nears its end, the passionate, vocal opinions on both sides of the political aisle may reach their crescendo as his legacy becomes ripe for interpretation. When reflecting on Obama’s time in the White House, the f...

7 FACTS ABOUT PRIDE

I want to talk about the issue of pride as regards to us as individuals. Pride is something we exhibit in our day to day lives, but nobody would agree that he or she is proud. But I would want us to know that at certain times in our lives we have shown pride.  Pride goes in two ways, you may either attribute it as a mark of honour to someone you love or yourself. For example "When a husband is proud of his wife, or a father is proud of his son who graduated with a first class honours" and many other examples I can cite. People can also be proud of themselves to boost their self confidence. For example: someone can be proud of been single, or someone can be proud of been fat just to knock off negative views and opinions of people towards those that are fat. The other way is when the person is full of himself/herself, super imposes, boozy, dominarian, arrogant, boostful. rebellious, egocentric and full of self justification. This is where the problem lies about p...

BREXIT

An interview with Rev Victor Atokolo SO WHAT IS BREXIT? BREXIT, the term was coined during the movement towards referendum, the last referendum in England were the votes decided that Britain should exit the European Union. So the term actually means “Britain Exit”, they just coined it, came up from those who wanted Britain to exit the European Union. DOES BREXIT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ENDTIME? A lot to do, now we have seen the movement towards the one world government, consequently the one world religion and the full revelation of the antichrist, but we understand that that fullness cannot manifest until the church is taken away at the rapture, but the speed the quickens it in moving is that if the European Union remains intact, Turkey joins them as they are proposing and then the present move of the Democrats in America succeeds, we’re likely to have one world government in a short time and that would have intensified the persecution of Christians and Jews and...
