As a job seeker, you're probably not using LinkedIn correctlyâin the way that allows recruiters to find you. In fact, recruiters aren't going to tell you what they do to find the best job candidates. If you want to have job search success, you need to use LinkedIn to its fullest potential, the way it was intended to be used.
Here are three things recruiters don't tell you about LinkedIn that I will.
Did you know that recruiters use a technology on LinkedIn that allows them to do keyword searches? They're looking for skill sets, the skills they were told to look for in a candidate. If you have those skill sets (those keywords they search) in your headline, you rank higher in their search results. This is how you get more recruiters to find you and reach out to you.
2. "About" Section
Recruiters don't want to see an epic novel in your "About" section. They also don't want it written in the third person. Your "About" section should be short and sweet. It should contain your personal branding statement and your list of skills. That way, they move on to the next section, which is my third point.
3. "Experience" Section (Work History)
I can't tell you how many people are not putting the appropriate bullet points in their work history. The bullet points in your "Experience" section on your LinkedIn profile should be quantifiable, number driven, and accomplishment driven, and they should be the exact same as what's on your resume. Recruiters hate a bait and switch. The work history on your resume and LinkedIn profile need to look identical.
There are a lot more things that I can teach you about this. So, what are you waiting for? Let's fix your LinkedIn profile and get recruiters to find you.

You might realize that interviewers get on LinkedIn to consider candidates, and they uncover the right candidates by simply searching specific keywords. Today, if you have individuals keywords in your head line, you may rank higher around their search results. That is where this tip is available in...
If you have the correct keywords in your acte, you're telling recruiters and even hiring managers you might have those skills together with that's where your knowledge is. But did anyone know that every 2 weeks you need to go in to LinkedIn and upgrade the couple of keywords on your headline?
You should keep track of LinkedIn headline every single two weeks because the particular algorithm is always seeking at people who have got recently updated their report. The very first time you update the profile, you'll notice a new lot of activity, much more profile views. Then you are going to notice it starts for you to drop off because if you're not ranking as full of search results anymore. Yet if every two several weeks you go in and additionally swap something out during that headline and strike "Save, " it activates the algorithm to position your profile higher.
And that's exactly how you consistently get employers to look at your own personal profile.

These days itâs not just your resume thatâs reviewed for your credentials and experience. LinkedIn is now a critical part of your job search as the majority of employers will look for you there.
Your LinkedIn profile is also an important tool and an important part of your job search strategy. Your LinkedIn profile may be promoted on the signature of your email address, your website, your blog, and business cards. It should also be added to your resume as an additional resource employers can go to in order to scope out your experience, knowledge, skills, and connections.
6 Steps To Personalizing Your LinkedIn URL
One of the most important things you can do for job search success is personalize your LinkedIn URL. By default, when you set up your profile on LinkedIn, you are given a URL for your public profile that may look like this:
This URL above is a temporary LinkedIn ID. A temporary LinkedIn ID typically has /pub/ and numbers that follow it. Personalize your LinkedIn URL to something that is more memorable.
Changing your default public profile URL to a personalized one is simple and takes only a few clicks of a button.
Here are the easy steps you can take to personalize your LinkedIn URL:
Sign in to LinkedIn and click "View Profile."
Click the edit icon to edit your intro.
Scroll down to the contact info section. Click on "Edit contact info" and then click on your profile URL. You'll be redirected to the settings page where you can change your public profile.
Click the edit icon next to your public profile URL (under "Edit your custom URL").
In the text box, edit the last part of your public URL.
Click "Save."
You now have a personalized LinkedIn URL that can be used to further promote your experience, knowledge, and skills for job opportunities!
Your new personalized LinkedIn URL should be your name or some variant related to your profession or field of work. If you have a common name, then try to add something that defines you. In my case, there are a number of Don Goodmans so I use "don-goodman-job-expert."
Keep in mind when creating your personalized LinkedIn URL to make it something timeless. You know using your name is a safe bet and you likely wonât have to make changes to it in the future. While you are allowed to change your URL at any time, LinkedIn will not redirect anyone clicking on an old URL you have created previously.
Creating a personalized LinkedIn URL allows you to enhance your personal brand. It is particularly helpful to use on your resume. Resumes have limitations on the type and depth of information you can offer, so when you can include your LinkedIn URL, employers have the opportunity to learn much more about you through recommendations received, skills and expertise, endorsements, and other information thatâs available on your LinkedIn profile!

LinkedIn has made it very easy to upload your resume as a PDF to make it part of your LinkedIn profile. While it's tempting to do this rather than build a full profile from scratch, you should avoid it.
Your resume and LinkedIn profile should be treated as two separate resources for your job search. Sure they are very similar, and you should use your resume as a guide for your LinkedIn profile, but a slight separation of the two is important!
Here's why...
There Are Major Privacy Concerns
Your LinkedIn profile is fully (or at least semi-) public. Your contact information (address, phone number, email, etc.) are not necessarily public on your LinkedIn profile, but will become public if you upload your resume.
Even if you remove this private information from your resume before you upload it, by uploading your resume, you have made the resume itself public. You no longer have control. That means that anyone is free to view, copy, download, use, pirate, and distribute your resumeâall without your knowledge or consent.
Whatever information you're given by LinkedIn about views of your profile and downloads of your resume is after the factâafter your resume has been downloaded and is in the possession of someone else.
It Makes Your Job Search Public
Posting your resume on LinkedIn changes your job search from a private one to a public one. It practically screams, "I'm looking for a job!" While it helps your job search for the trusted people of your professional network to be quietly notified that you're looking for new opportunities, it does not help to announce it to the world.
Why? Because recruiters, employers, potential clients, and quality networkers are looking for top candidates. Top candidates are, by definition, people who are in demand. A top candidate, therefore, rarely "needs" a job, although he or she is open to opportunities. By publicly screaming, "I'm looking for a job!" you are simultaneously announcing that you are not a top candidate.
Your LinkedIn profile needs to showcase your value and appeal, not your (real or perceived) desperation.
It's Not The Best Way To Display Your Professional Skills
Resumes work best when they are tailored to specific job openings or employers. Posting your resume online means you have given up the chance to best present your resume to any legitimate recruiters or employers who view it. And the substance of the resume should be worked into your LinkedIn profile anyway.
Remember: if your LinkedIn profile is compelling, then a legitimate recruiter or employer surfing through LinkedIn will contact you. And then you can decide whether to provide your (targeted) resume.
So, in conclusion, posting your resume online gives you additional risk, but no reward.

Are you concerned about age discrimination? While most job seekers fear discrimination by hiring managers, the truth is that youâre more likely to be discriminated against by a computer.
Most 50-something or older job seekers donât realize that the technology they leverage to apply for jobs may be screening them out of consideration. Sadly, this is one of the most common reasons that job seekers donât get the interviews they want and deserve.
Hereâs the key thing you need to know. The databases, or applicant tracking systems (ATS), that employers, recruiters, and job boards use to parse, store, and analyze incoming resumes are capable of estimating how much experience you possess. When recruiters or hiring executives search these databases for candidates with a certain amount of experienceâletâs say 12-15 yearsâthe ATS will screen out candidates who possess anything other than 12, 13, 14, or 15 years. As a result, your resume or LinkedIn profile will not be listed in the resulting candidate search. This eliminates your candidacy before a human even sees your resume or LinkedIn profile.
Please note that while job boards, companies, and recruiters are not intending to discriminate, the technology they are using to organize the flood of resumes they receive is doing so inadvertently. This means that every time your resume is entered into a job board system, company website, or recruiter website, the experience filtering described above may occur. It also means that your LinkedIn profile could be subjected to this same filtering process any time a company or recruiter searches for candidates like you with a specific amount of experience in mind.
If youâre currently in or plan to launch a part-time or full-time search for a new role, take time to age-proof your resume and LinkedIn profile. Three simple changes will boost your candidacy, help you attract more opportunities, and win you more job interviews:
1. Revamp Your LinkedIn Profile Picture
While we strongly recommend a professional headshot for your LinkedIn profile picture (you can get one in most markets for $100-$200), an amateur photographer might work if you know one who takes good portrait shots. The key is an attractive pose that makes the most of your facial characteristics and personality while minimizing any age-related deficits.
If you have silver hair, for example, consider using a dark background or black & white photo to reduce the risk of a washed-out appearance. Select a pose that conveys energy and vitality and hints at the wisdom youth simply canât replicate. Use a full-face smile to project energy with the photo and make sure you dress in interview-ready attire. You want to seem professional yet approachable.
2. Eliminate Dates From Your Education Listings On Your Resume And LinkedIn Profile
Itâs standard these days for most folks over 30 to omit education dates from resumes and their LinkedIn profile. This is easy enough to do on your resume where you can also omit dates of training, certifications, licensure, or affiliations.
In short, omit any date prior to 2000, since most recruiters only want to see the last 10-15 years of your experience on your resume or LinkedIn profile. To achieve this on LinkedIn, go to your profile and then edit your "Education" section. Select the âââoption in the drop-down box for your start and finish dates. Eliminate dates from other sections as well.
3. Remove Pre-2000 Dates From Your Work History Sections On Your Resume And LinkedIn Profile
This is a little more complex but well worth doing. On your resume, list your post-2000 work experience in your "Work History" section and separate your pre-2000 experience into an "Additional Experience" section. For your pre-2000 jobs, omit your dates of employment and list the amounts instead. For example, if you worked at GE from 1992-2000, report that as â8 years.â
LinkedIn doesnât allow members to omit dates from employment so your only choice is to eliminate pre-2000 jobs altogether. Try embedding a short version of older jobs in your first post-2000 listing or briefly noting relevant older roles in your LinkedIn summary. Either tactic will help you win more LinkedIn profile views.
While we donât recommend using online job boards as a key component in an effective job search at almost any age (there are other more powerful and faster ways to create and pursue career opportunities for yourself), the truth is that these systems inadvertently âdiscriminateâ against candidates with more than 15 years of work experience. Unfortunately, this same potential exists on LinkedIn and company/recruiter websites anytime a hiring manager or recruiter conducts a candidate search based on the amount of experience job seekers possess.
The good news is that a few simple tricks can protect your resume and LinkedIn profile from age discrimination and give you greater access to the career opportunities you want and deserve.

While it's not so difficult to add a connection on LinkedIn when you already know the person, approaching someone you don't know, like a hiring manager, recruiter, the head of the department you want to work for, or a contact that can help get you through to the decision-maker is a different story.
Here are five tips on how to approach people you don't know, or don't know very well, and what you can say to get them to connect with you on LinkedIn:
1. Have A Reason To Connect
Don't send a blank (or default) invitation to connect. It's unlikely that the person you're trying to connect with will accept it.
If it's a hiring manager who interviewed you, but you didn't get the job, it may still be a relationship worth maintaining. Your message could say, "Thank you for the interview opportunity. I would love to be considered for future positions that come up and have you as a professional connection no matter where we may possibly cross paths again."
The act of simply taking the time to write a personal message with your invitation makes you worthy of consideration.
2. Share What You Have In Common
In your LinkedIn connection request, find ways to form an instant bond by sharing what you have in common. For example, when you're both a member of the same group, club, or volunteer organization, it's easier to approach the individual.
People also want to know or be reminded of how you know them or found them. So you can say something like, "I'm also a member of XYZ on LinkedIn. I noticed you're the head of the marketing department at 123 Company, and I was hoping you could share some advice on how you got started in your career because I'm looking to pursue a similar path."
This approach is less likely to come off like a cold call. If there are other things you have in common, like a similar education or background, share that as well.
3. Mention A Mutual Acquaintance
Whenever possible, it's easier to start an introduction with the help of a mutual acquaintance. After the help of an introduction, it's up to you to build rapport.
If you connect with someone who works for a company you want to work for, you may consider a message like, "I'm a former colleague of John Smith, who's told me a lot about you and your work. I'm considering a position at 123 Company. Would you mind if I ask you some questions related to your experience with the application and interview process?"
The saying, "It's not what you know. It's who you know," has never been truer. Take advantage of your current connections and use them to expand your professional network today.
4. Don't Ask For A Job On First Contact
Avoid sending your resume on first contact, or asking if your new connection knows of any job openings at their company. Your first message to a new connection should focus on starting a conversation, and you can effectively do that by asking for general advice rather than inquiring about a job.
Also, remember to keep questions open-ended so you can build conversation, not end it.
5. Congratulate And Give Recognition
Who doesn't like to be greeted with a nice word of recognition like "Congratulations on the recent award!" or "Great article! I found it really insightful"? It informs the individual you admire their work, making it easier to get their attention and find a reason to connect with you.
If you're already connected, giving kudos to this person will strengthen your relationship and make them more willing to help you in your career.
Having a good network of connections is NOT about quantity but the quality of the people and the strength of the relationships. Take the time to really evaluate who is worth connecting with, and when you do try, have a compelling reason why you want to connect with them so they will sincerely consider your request.

Recently, the top 10 most overused words on LinkedIn profiles were announced. And I'm not shocked to see that all 10 words break the basic rule of personal branding: stay objective.
Opinions Of Your Skills Donât Belong On LinkedIn
The 10 most overused words on LinkedIn are subjective. Meaning that if you use them, you are stating an opinion of yourself. Take a look:
Specialize
Experienced
Skilled
Leadership
Passionate
Expert
Motivated
Creative
Strategic
Focused
The problem with using these words is that, while you think itâs okay to talk about yourself in this way, the reader of your profile (aka a recruiter or hiring manager) gets the mistaken impression that you think you are âall that and a bag of chips.â
Simple Test To Fix Your Profile
The solution is to test your profile and then take out any words that arenât fact. Hereâs how you test it: simply read each sentence on your profile and then ask yourself, âSays who?â If you canât validate it within the sentence you are using it in, then it needs to go. I used all 10 of the words on LinkedInâs list below to show you examples of how they get misused.
I know how to specialize to meet the needs of my job.
I am a focused leader who's passionate about my industry.
For all of the above, you canât help but think when you read them, âGeez. Donât you think a lot of yourself!â Or, as I mentioned above, the immediate reaction becomes, âReally? Says who?â
Solution: List Accomplishments
Once you edit your profile, go back through and insert accomplishments that prove what you were trying to say about yourself. These would be examples of better fits:
I have a 10-year track record of exceeding my employerâs performance review standards.
I have created 20+ projects in X, resulting in $1M in new revenues.
I have completed more than 100 business analysis projects that have saved my employers $250K+ in the last 2 years.
I have managed teams of 2-50 through 15+ complete project lifecycles.
I have worked with over 400 customers to solve implementation issues that reduced client service calls by 50%.
Final Tip: Quantify To Qualify
Notice all of the above bullet points use numbers, percentages, and statistics to prove the skill. This is called quantifying your accomplishments, and it is the most compelling way to validate your experience. When it comes to LinkedIn, facts are always better than fiction!

If you're looking for a way to simplify your job search and get noticed, social platforms like LinkedIn give you an opportunity to be proactive and get past the applicant tracking system (ATS). With LinkedIn, not only can you view job listings, but you can also easily find the recruiter who's leading the search for the right candidate.
Reaching out to the recruiter is certainly a solid job search strategy, but like anything in life there's a right and wrong way to do it.
Here are the best ways to connect with a recruiter on LinkedIn and potentially put yourself in a position to get hired for the job.
3 Steps For Connecting With A Recruiter On LinkedIn
1. Research the Recruiter's Profile - Details matter! You may learn from the recruiter's LinkedIn profile that you attended the same university or once worked at the same company during different time periods. Anything you have in common with the recruiter could be a good way to break the ice.
2. Make a Connection Request - Use the simple 300-word connection request to introduce yourself to the recruiter. Mention something that you have in common and that you're interested in learning more about their career field and would love the opportunity to connect. Keep it simpleâyou don't want to overwhelm the recruiter. Here are a few additional ideas.
3. Ask a Follow-Up Question - Once you're connected, send a follow-up note thanking them for the connection, mention that the job posting caught your attention, and ask them what's most important to them when considering a candidate for this position. This is a way to express your interest in the position while politely asking for their feedback. The key is not to be pushy and frame it in a way where you're trying to make their job easier.
What Do You Do If A Recruiter Doesn't Connect With You?
If a recruiter doesn't respond to your connection request, it's best to just move on.
There could be many reasons why the recruiter doesn't respond, and some may have nothing to do with your request. Being too aggressive about the connection request could actually damage your chances of getting the job. Make one request and if the recruiter doesn't respond, let it go.
You can continue your job hunt by searching LinkedIn for other professionals who work at the company where you're pursuing employment. Use the above steps to try to connect with them and perhaps they can give you tips that may help you land a job interview. This is not only a good way to boost your job search but it will also help you build your professional network.
Keep A Strong LinkedIn Profile
It's important to remember that if you have a strong LinkedIn profileit's possible that recruiters will reach out to you. By optimizing your LinkedIn profile with keywords, you'll have a higher chance of showing up in recruiters' search results. They'll be able to find you and see that you have the skills and experience they need for the job opportunity. This is your ideal situation: instead of having to reach out to recruiters in your job search, they'll come to you!

Wanted to continue our conversation from yesterday.
Introduce Yourself
Shoot your new LinkedIn connection a brief message shortly after connecting. You can start by introducing yourself, then elaborate on why you wanted to connect in the first place.
Mention things you have in common. Feel free to ask them about their goals and interests. What do they want to accomplish? What do they love doing? Highlight commonalities. It will help build a stronger personal connection.
Offer Your Support
We can't stress how important it is to offer value to your connections, especially in your first conversation. It shows that you're a valuable contact who's ready and willing to help your connections.
Offering your support can be as simple as saying something like, "If there's anything I can do to offer support or anyone in my network that I can introduce you to, please let me know. Happy to help." You don't have to go overboard with this in your first message. A brief sentence like the one above is great. Just let them know you're offering.
Don't Ask For Any Favors Just Yet
Do not ask for anything from your new connection unless it benefits them in some way.
For example, if you need a quote from them for an upcoming blog post you're writing, highlight the fact that you'll be promoting the heck out of it and that it will give them some exposure. You can ask for a favor after you've built your professional relationship with this person and you have a history of offering value without asking for anything in return.
What To Do When Someone Connects With YOU...
When someone reaches out to you and asks to connect, make sure you message them immediately after accepting their request with a message that says something like, "Thanks for connecting. It's great to meet you." That way, if they forget to message you, you'll be sitting in their inbox, happy and ready to chat.
Starting a conversation with a new LinkedIn connection is easy once you know how to do it properly. The next time you want to connect with someone new on LinkedIn, follow these four steps. You'll grow your professional network in no time!

Who has time to research LinkedIn? We know you have a busy life, and sometimes there's just not enough time in the day to scan through articles to get the information you need. That's why we created the LinkedIn Cheat Sheet! We pulled the best tips, tricks, and advice from our archives and put them all in one place just for you.
Here are five solid LinkedIn tips from our experts:
1. Change The Visibility Of Your LinkedIn Activity
Before you start âtinkeringâ with your LinkedIn profile (or hiring a professional to enhance your profile), please take a minute to do the following:
From the drop-down menu under your name on the right side of the Home page, choose Settings & Privacy.
On the left-hand side of the Settings & Privacy page is a column with a section titled "Visibility."
Click on this section and scroll down to "Visibility of your LinkedIn activity."
Turn off any visibility options for the activity you'd like to hide
When you are finished tinkering, go back and turn on the visibility of your activity, if you so choose. Itâs that simple!
Every Monday, take 10 minutes out of your morning to pay it forward by endorsing 10 people in your LinkedIn network. Imagine how you would feel if in your inbox on a Monday (aka the day of the week when even the most cheerful people struggle to get going), you found endorsements of your skill sets from your peers.
Recommendations are essential to you. Seek them proactively and seek them passively. Proactive recommendation seeking involves reaching out and asking someone to recommend you. Passive recommendation seeking involves recommending someone, at which point LinkedIn asks them to recommend you back. The latter is actually a bit more effective.
The following 11 tips will help you pick the right photo for your LinkedIn, Gmail, and other online accounts:
Donât use an old photo. There are few things worse than meeting someone for the first time and not recognizing them because the profile photo is from 10 years ago (or longer)!
Use a photo of YOU in your profileânot an object.
Smile! Your face should radiate warmth and approachability.
Photos should be professionally done, if possible (but no glamour shots).
Wear your most complementary color. Bright colors can attract attention, but avoid patterns.
Donât have other people in your photos (and donât crop other people out of your shotâthere should not be any errant body parts in your online photo!).
Make sure the background in the photo isnât distracting.
Relax. Look directly at the camera.
Take multiple shots and ask people for their opinion on which one makes you seem most âapproachable.â
Tips for men: Wear a dark blue or black dress shirt. No t-shirts, Hawaiian shirts, or busy/crazy patterns.
Tips for women: Wear something you feel comfortable in. No t-shirts or big/busy patterns. Soft, dark v-necks look great. Black always works; avoid white.
Use the â|â (vertical bar) to divide your text and create visual breaks.
Example: Which of the following is easier to read?
Project Manager Specializing in Business Research and Analysis for Major Corporations
OR
Project Manager | Research & Analysis Specialist | Fortune 1000 Business Experience
Obviously, the second one is easier to read and comprehend because of the formatting. The vertical lines separate the data and enable the reader to comprehend what you do better (bonus points if you list hard skills in your headline, separated by the vertical bar, to better optimize your profile so it gets found by recruiters).
We know how difficult it can be to optimize your LinkedIn profile the right way.
