Build Your LinkedIn Profile
LinkedIn isn’t just a helpful hiring tool for companies; it’s also a great way for job candidates to make connections and get noticed online. To ensure your profile stands out from the pack, create a detailed summary including your most relevant work experience. Experts also recommend including a photo to add a personal face to your professional package. Finally, job searchers should take the time to connect with a wide range of friends and colleagues. You never know when a “friend of a friend” will be searching for an employee just like you!
Update Your Resume
When was the last time you updated your resume? If it’s been a few years, you may want to make some changes to this all-important document before sending it out to potential employers. For best results, use action language and highlight specific and measurable accomplishments from your work history. As an added bonus, you can include a few keywords to make your resume more searchable online.
