FOR PROFESSIONALS
By
SOMETIMES, DEFEAT TURNS INTO OPPORTUNITY.
Years ago, I attended a
writers' conference and
pitched an article to a
magazine editor. He didn't
take it, but he was friendly,
gracious and polite
Here's how to stand
out from the
competition
1. BUILD A MULTIMEDIA PROFILE
Build a visual profile and you'll instantly stand
out. This LinkedIn feature (called "Professional
Portfolio"). So use it to your advantage and show
off your creative work!
Elaborate on the areas that simply wouldn't
fit on a hard copy resume, like an odd job,
volunteer position, or success story.
2. GO FOR DETAIL
Whatever you do, don't leave the summary blank
or limit it to a few bland sentences. Make it
personal, while also highlighting key
accomplishments you don't want anyone to miss.
3. WRITE A KILLER SUMMARY
.
You could seriously get a job
this way - I would know! If
you genuinely want to keep
up with a contact, then
connect on LinkedIn. Write a
personal note saying "hello."
4. DON'T BE AFRAID TO CONNECT
LinkedIn groups are a great way to meet
people in your industry and have a
meaningful conversation - which is why we
have a Faith Driven Business LinkedIn
group. Ask for help. And help others in
return - they'll remember the favor!
5. NETWORK IN LINKEDIN GROUPS
Give and people are likely to give back
to you. It's a chance to help your fellow
professionals, and it establishes you as
an authority.
6. GIVE RECOMMENDATIONS AND ENDORSEMENTS
These make for a priceless first impression.
The best approach is to ask in person or to
write a personal email sincerely expressing
what their recommendation would mean to
you.
7. Ask for recommendations
.
With all the options for LinkedIn fields to fill out
(experience, education, coursework, volunteering), your
profile can get really big, really fast! Take control by
making your descriptions easily scannable. Bullet points
can save your life
8. Keep it organized
Our internet marketing
strategy uses best lead
generating tools to win over
traffic to your direction.
