5 Tips for Landing Your Dream Job
From actual LinkedIn members who found theirs
Recruiters are using LinkedIn as their
primary source of recruiting passive
candidates, and the more information
you have on your profile, the better.
Jen Glawe, LinkedIn member
Research the company as much as you can
- check out their page on LinkedIn…Use
LinkedIn to find someone in your network
who knows someone at the company…and
ask for an introduction.
Greg Devine, LinkedIn member
Make your profile reflect aspects of
previous jobs you want to keep (or return
to) doing…leave out the parts you wouldn't
want to do again. That way prospective
employers can “match” you better to
positions they have available.
Jeff Grover, LinkedIn member
Write customized cover letters for each job
you apply to. Employers DO read each and
every one. Cover letters will make you
stand out.

My favorite job search tips are seeking out
hiring managers and decision makers
through the use of InMail and following up
with personal notes and phone calls.
