3 tips from experts on how to write a professional resume on LinkedIn quickly and correctly
Do you have the right skills and experience, but your LinkedIn resume doesn't attract interest from employers? Perhaps it's because it's not properly written, formatted, and simply gets lost in the millions of similar resumes.
Firmenpress asked: "How to make recruiters on LinkedIn notice a candidate and get interested in him or her?" The publication writes: "Making a good first impression from the other side of the monitor is not easy, but it is quite possible! You have about 300-500 words to do this, and here's how Linked Leads DFY experts advise you to use them."
What is the right way to look for a job on LinkedIn?
Officially launched in 2003, today LinkedIn is considered the largest professional social network in the world. According to statistics, more than 61 million people actively search for jobs here every week. And, of course, you should take this into account when creating your resume.
According to the Linked Leads DFY guide, the first right step in this direction is to understand your target audience. The content of your resume should be relevant to your target industry, including relevant keywords that will help recruiters find you quickly and present you as the ideal candidate for the job.
The second important point, according to experts, is to demonstrate your professional skills and achievements. In particular, they advise not to forget to use wording that reflects innovation and problem solving, emphasizing results rather than tasks.
"Employers are interested in real evidence of your success, and they are primarily looking for your ability to overcome challenges along the way," says Linked Leads DFY.
Another way to expand your networking opportunities and create a more complete online profile is to include links and contact information in your profile summary. Clickable links allow recruiters to learn more about you, which increases the likelihood of success in hiring.
"No one wants to hire someone they know nothing about! Email addresses, phone numbers, social media accounts, and links to past projects are all useful ways to increase your engagement and stand out from the crowd."
