Is you career exhilarating,
like Felix Baumgartner’s
world famous jump?
Or more like this?
Either way, LinkedIn can help!
How to Say ‘Look at Me!’ to an Online Recruiter
by Phyllis Korkki © New York Times January 26, 2013

……One of the most important questions that many job
seekers can ask these days is this: How searchable am I?

……OLD-FASHIONED, personal networking can still be an
effective way to land a job, but online networking now
supplements it in many fields.
Strategy #1 – Increase your VISIBILITY.
Strategy #2 – Make your profile more CREDIBLE.
Credibility = Endorsements
Credibility = Recommendations
Recommendations can be managed
Strategy #3 – Join strategic groups (up to 50).
Example: Healthcare Marketing Research – 2641 members
Strategy #4 – Monitor who views your profile and use this as
REACTIVE input to your activity mix.
Response w/in 10 minutes

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy #5 – Identify people you want to engage, then engage them.
Leverage advanced people searches …..
Numerous options to engage and interact …..
Strategy #6 – Establish one or more extra-LinkedIn information
feeds and use these as PROACTIVE inputs to your activity mix.
Why having a good looking LinkedIn profile isn’t enough
         ..... and what you can do about it.
