As a Recruiter I use LinkedIn as my primary tool for searching candidates and
gaining contact. Follow my advice and get your profile up to scratch so that
recruiters can find you!
I am filled with confidence when I see that you have recommendations from
former bosses and individuals you have worked with.
Never before have we had the ability to ‘Shine’
LinkedIn offers us the opportunity to really ‘Sell’ ourselves in yet, few people
take full advantage of this business networking tool and what is more, all the
12 steps I have mentioned are completely free!
Your resume and your LinkedIn profile should go hand-in-hand. Used
together, these two tools are incredibly powerful and will take you exactly
where you want to go!
You can also add publications, projects and certifications to your profile!
