Job Corner with Ms. Whelton, PE

In the past I have discussed the importance of LinkedIn and how many recruiters are using this as the main way to identify potential employees.  Many jobs are posted through linked in (see the “jobs” category on the bar of options at the top of the screen) and you can set your preferences for location, experience level, etc on the career interests tab. 

It is important to have your LinkedIn profile polished and up to date.  And you want to be found and stand out.  Below are some tips to help you set up a great LinkedIn profile.  Note, these tips come from the blog post found here: https://purduecco.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/how-to-write-a-linkedin-headline-that-attracts-recruiters/

• Be found on LinkedIn by using the keywords in your Headline that a Recruiter or Hiring Manager would use to search for a job candidate
• Add a meaningful job title to attract as many Recruiters or Hiring Managers as possible
• Add a Value Statement

Choose the Right Keywords. The way to attract Hiring Managers and Recruiters on LinkedIn through your Headline is to include the keywords that the Hiring Managers and Recruiters would enter in a LinkedIn “People Search” to find Job Candidates like you.

Your Headline is one of the few areas of your LinkedIn Profile that impacts the LinkedIn Search Algorithm more heavily than the other LinkedIn Profile fields. The other two are your Job Titles and Skills & Experience section.

NOTE: The LinkedIn Search Algorithm is the formula by which LinkedIn calculates the order in which people appear in “People” Search results.

If, for example, a company is looking to hire a Financial Advisor, their Recruiter might use any of these keywords to find Candidates for the job:

• Financial Advisor
• Investment Advisor

To be found by as many Recruiters as possible, the Financial Advisor would include all three keyword phrases in their Headline.

Purdue Winter Recess
