How to Use Your LinkedIn Profile as a Job Search Tool

Create a Profile.

Create a detailed profile, including employment (current and past),

education, and industry. Review your resume and copy/paste the

relevant information into your profile.

Add a Photo.

You can add a photo (a headshot is recommended or upload a

larger photo and edit it) to your LinkedIn profile.

Professional Summary.

The Professional Summary section of your profile is a good way to

highlight your experience. Select an Industry, because recruiters

often use that field to search.

Contact Settings.

Your contact settings let your connections (and recruiters) know what

you're available for.

information to potential employers and to your contacts.

How to Use Your LinkedIn Profile as a Job Search Tool

Update Your Profile.

Don't forget to update your profile when you change positions or

companies. Your profile should be current and up-to-date.

Grow Your Network

Connect with other members and build your network. The more

connections you have, the more opportunities you have, but don't

randomly connect with people you don't know.

Get Recommendations.

To a potential employer, a LinkedIn recommendation is a reference in

advance.
