curiosity to them if they are interested in start-up ecosystem

11. why is it important to have good
content?
• When recruiters search for people on LinkedIn
they just type on the search console “Job title”
such as “ research analyst” the top research
analyst are shown on the search list. The
chances are that the recruiter may click the 1st
five profile to view their skills in order to recruit
them. You can see the example on the next slide

experience) Shows what you can offer to employers

others. One of the most powerful way is to get
recommendation from your employer.

ReachingSky Foundation

you.

RSF and your future work with RSF. Write it on
your profile of LinkedIn
15. •But why ?
• How can working at an NGO be
beneficial ?
16. Benefits of working in NGO
Lets understand what are the benefits of working at Reaching Sky Foundation
• Companies value more to those who work for a social cause. They know that
people who have worked at any NGO are skilled in terms of team work
• the Corporation for National and Community Service, a federal agency that
promotes volunteerism, tracked more than 70,000 jobless people between 2002
and 2012 and found that those who volunteered had a 27% better chance of
finding a job than those who didn’t.
• Networking
• Employers often prefer to interview people who are employed in some capacity.
So listing a volunteer position on your resume under “Current Employment” will
prevent a hiring manager from thinking you’re jobless.
• SEEK as part of the 28th International Volunteer Day, the research indicates that
volunteering is a career selling point because:
1. It found that 83 per cent of people believed volunteering improved experience
and skills,
2. 69 per cent said it helped them learn new skills both technical and soft
17. • Now the question is who will be on the top 5
or 10 in the search list and how ?
• The answer is LinkedIn helps a searcher by
providing him /her relevant profiles whom he
is looking for. Such as “research analyst”
18. Here is an example
• When I say relevant it means the profiles
whose headline/ Profile description is
matching with the search keywords or it may
match with the words which people have used
in their blogs on LinkedIn.
21. When people click the second option that is
“group with the title” you will see this
22.
23. But what is the use of it?
• You can click and ask the group admin to add
you . What happens here is that you can share
your blogs and your views on the comment
and when you do that people may
like/comment or forwards your shared
information which can ultimately make your
very strong visibility strong
