Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile So Recruiters Can Find You


Just like the resume, no matter how fitting you are for the job, your LinkedIn profile has to get in front of the hiring manager or recruiter to have a chance.


Here are five tips to help optimize your LinkedIn profile and improve your ranking in employer searches.

1. Make your profile public.

Under Privacy & Settings, make your LinkedIn profile visible to the public. If it’s not set to be public, employers and recruiters won’t have access to see your information unless they become a connection.


2. Make it keyword relevant.

While applicant tracking systems look for keyword matches to determine a resume’s ranking, your LinkedIn profile also gets ranked for relevancy based on search terms. The more relevant your profile is to the search term the hiring manager or recruiter puts in, the greater the chance it will show up within the first two pages of the LinkedIn search results. For example, an accountant’s profile will benefit to have other relevant keywords tied to it like tax planning, auditing, compliance, certified public accountant, and so on.
Here are the key areas where you can optimize your keyword density.

Professional headline. 
The resume has the Profile Summary title to highlight exactly what you’re capable of. It’s no different for your LinkedIn profile. Your Professional Headline, which appears with your name in search results, must make a statement. By default, it will list your most recent job title, but change that – use it to say exactly who you are and what you have to offer. For example, instead of Accountant at XYZ Company, have it read Tax Adviser for small businesses with over 15 years of success in IRS audits, tax planning, and tax preparation. Notice how we got the keyword “tax” in there three times.


Summary
The Summary section is a major driver for keywords. Make sure this section is completed to define your value proposition and plant it with the appropriate keywords in context.

Experience
Your work experience will include information on your job titles, which serve as keywords, but also work in appropriate keywords to the description of your experience. Take caution with job titles that aren’t mainstream. For example, if your job title is Organizational Communication, Learning and Design Advisor, you may consider something that is more keyword-friendly for your profession like Corporate Communications / Internal and External Communications Advisor.

Specialties & Skills
Increase your profile’s ranking in search results with the help of the Skills & Endorsements section. This is where you should have all the relevant keywords, skills, technologies and tools relevant to your profession included. Catch all the relevant terms by entering a job title in the Skills section and selecting the relevant skills. Getting endorsement to your relevant skills will also help optimize your profile.

3. Add associations, affiliations, and certifications.

Being connected and affiliated with industry groups and other relevant groups for your profession expands your profile’s relevancy. Adding in relevant certifications you have received will also help, particularly when recruiters are searching for talent with specific skills.

4. Build relevant connections.

Expand your network of connections to include others in the same profession and industry. Hiring managers and recruiters are more likely to view your profile over others when they see you have shared connections with them.

5. Stay active.

The activity you conduct on LinkedIn can help increase your profiles visibility. Commenting on articles, voicing your thoughts and opinions in group discussions, and sharing information are all activities to increase your interaction with others and improve the visibility of your profile.

Many employers and recruiters depend on LinkedIn to find talent, so make sure your profile is properly set up and optimized.

How to handle employee gaps on resume

How do you handle employment gaps on your resume?

At some time in our careers, we will all have a gap in our employment history—maybe a few weeks or months, maybe a few years. A gap can occur because of a layoff, a family emergency, a health issue, a desire to further education, and many other excellent reasons. So, how do you approach an employment gap?
First, it is not necessary to give the starting and ending months for a job. If you held one job from January 2003 to April 2010 and held the next from June 2010 to the present, simply omit the months from your resume. List only the years (2003-2010, 2010-present).
In a long career, a gap of a month or two is of no interest to recruiters.
Second, if you left the workforce to further your education, those years should be covered under the “Education” section of your resume; or you can add a single line in the employment section to indicate that you spent the gap pursuing a degree.
Third, if you worked as a volunteer or consultant during the gap, by all means include that information. Volunteer and consulting work is work.
Finally, you may want to explain a gap in your cover letter or e-mail. The explanation should be very brief, no more than one sentence. Recruiters do not need details about your family, health, or other issues.
If asked about the gap during a job interview, use the same brief explanation. You want to convey that the situation is over and you are focused on rejoining the workforce.

Ways To End Up With A Career You Hate

 Take a look below and make every effort to avoid these traps.

1. “…BUT I’M GOOD AT THIS.”




So, it’s not something you want to do, it’s something you can do. Sounds good at first. Take advantage of your skills and all that. But sooner or later, it wears thin.
This happens quite often with mid-career professionals.
They've been chugging right along, doing what they do, and suddenly they realize they’ve been sucked into a void of discontent. Don’t dedicate your energy to something just because you have the ability. You deserve to be at least somewhat selective.
And, if you desperately want to do something that you’re not naturally good at, you always have the power to advance your skills.

2. “…BUT I NEED THE MONEY.”


It sounds like such an obviously bad idea and yet, so many people fall for this one. Money isn’t enough to keep you happy for long. Yes, we all have financial needs that must be met. But, if that’s the sole reason you’re in your career, prepare for misery . There are—literally—MILLIONS of ways to make money. Find something that offers another kind of satisfaction as well. Compensation comes in many forms and your paycheck is just one.

3. “THINGS WILL GET BETTER.”



Staying the course and hoping things improve is a surefire way to waste time. If you’re in a career that’s making you miserable, it’s probably safe to say that things can’t change enough to make it worthwhile staying. Maybe they can. Maybe your awful boss will retire and you’ll be promoted and the company will be purchased by Google.
But have a proactive mindset. Do what you can to improve the situation and, if things don’t change significantly and quickly, start the process of moving on. Don’t stick with it just because you feel invested.
Don’t fool yourself into thinking things will just magically get better with time.

4. “I’M AFRAID.”


If fear is holding you back, you’re not alone. This is the number one reason people stay in careers they don’t enjoy. The unknown path is always scary. But be honest with yourself. If you never confront your fear, you’ll never know what could have been. You don’t want to look back on your life at the age of 70 and have regrets or questions. A few calculated risks lead to a life well-lived. Maybe not always an easy or expected life, but one you can be proud of.

5. “NOTHING ELSE WOULD BE ANY BETTER.”


This is the kind of thinking that takes over when you’re unhappy. You just give up. And it’s my job to remind everyone—yes, everyone—that there are ways to find happiness at work. No one is cursed with the miserable career plague. It’s a temporary state, IF you are willing to do the work. Don’t ever believe you’re stuck.
The kind of thinking described above is normal and tempting. We all fall into these thought patterns on occasion. The good news is you can snap yourself right out of it. You CAN find career nourishment.
