Welcome to ep. 4 of my layoff diaires. One of the hardest parts about a job search is spending time & effort looking for the right opportunities and applying to them -- it can take hundreds of hours just in this initial phase.

Combining my insights as an ex-recruiter as well as being in the position of being laid off, I share my honest no frills tips on how to optimize your Linkedin profile to make your profile searchable and appealing to potential recruiters.

This is all so overwhelming. I feel like I just started out my career path. Being visible on LinkedIn is all so new to me

@Sakurambo Год назад

I can understand that. To be honest, it’s a lot of information but the stuff is really basic, and you can always customize it to how you want. No need to add pressure to yourself. See what works for you!

@shraddhasharma6348 9 месяцев назад

@marthachitika3548 I feel you.

@Alaa-zi4rt 4 месяца назад

Do only a few of the tips that are actionable and relevant to where you at, the rest will grow with time. Tweaking your linkedin is an ongoing journey as you develop, it's not a one time thing. So just start with the basics, photo, headline, connections and then spend time on the platform to gradually learn from others

@MaryBartnikowski 9 месяцев назад

This is very specific with great recommendations, thank you! I often get people on LI pitching me to do business with them and I don't know them. No indication of any interest in what I do other than them making money for things I'm clearly not interested in. For example, getting a pitch for paid help to get my "first book published" when I have 5 books published. I have 500 plus connections and would like to grow more and be attractive to people coming to me for reasons other than pitching me on their new business ideas which are like spam to me as I don't know their work. Suggestions? You do have wonderful advice and I'm impressed with your style and content.

@joyceb2060 9 месяцев назад

This was really helpful information direct to the point, but in my case and i'm guessing many others, who are starting out and lack those work experience/recommendations it feels hard to get noticed. Have acquired qualifications now but after twenty years of being a carer, there is nothing to show for it on paper that can make me even be noticed or taken seriously as opposed to my peers at this stage. How can those like me, or career changers, stahp etc coming back/to the scene get to improve their pages to become noticed and approached by hiring managers or recruiters? It's really tough

@nomo776 5 месяцев назад

Being a caregiver has so many job functions. Make a list including compassionate customer care, customized meal preparation, mobility assistance, transportation, wound care, great communication (and any other responsibilities). Don't forget some referrals

@HowardIchiroLim Год назад

I would add changing your status to "open for work", speaking as a recruiter/headhunter for over 20 years. Also if you're hopping jobs every few years you better have a legitimate reason other wise companies will not be interested no matter what school you graduated from or what experience you have. Great video!

What would a company look for if they were interested in hiring someone who doesn't have a visa yet? I'm currently looking to move abroad and it's very hard to find listing that give you an idea whether the company will sponsor you. I work in marketing but in a quite specific field so I'm confident my skills would be worth the extra mile 😊

@timtanhueco1990 4 месяца назад

Ok, but I’m not a social media type of person and I rarely have connections as they see me as a direct competition due to, let’s say, politics. Any chance?

@tmc4804 6 месяцев назад

Sakura: this video is very helpful. I do have a current profile photo on LinkedIn, however a concern of mine is that of ageism. Yes it shows I am a real person, but it also shows my age. Any thoughts on this?

@pilifonpe 5 месяцев назад

It shouldn’t and if a company checks age, that talks about them, you shouldn’t work for them. As for nice pictures, look up icon accidental, she is such an inspiration to showcase a fresh spirit regardless of age

@maryamabdulkadir883 Год назад

Hey! This was a great video! I wanted to know if recruiters looking for freelancers use the same method. I am looking to attract clients with my profile rather than the average inhouse recruiter. Is the process the same or is there anything that I should add? Thanks!

@Sakurambo Год назад

Oh this is a fantastic question - I actually don't have experience with that so I can't say for sure. I think freelancers are usually hired through different sites like Fiverr or Upwork, or through agencies & connections, so maybe widening your platforms may be a good idea. Otherwise, honestly I think this advice may fall a little flat for you because I focused on the basics: making yourself marketable in general, rather than building a brand and standing out. It's a good place to start, but you I assume should focus on building relationships. Hope it helps!

@maryamabdulkadir883 Год назад

@@Sakurambo thank you for getting back to me! I’ll do that and see how it goes!

@maryamabdulkadir883 Год назад

@@Sakurambo Hey again! I have another question! I watched a recruiter on RU-vid say that you should cold email companies that have no job openings because the competition is less and they may have a positions. How would you tell that a company is opening to hiring without them explicitly posting a job offer? Thanks

@eamy9960 6 месяцев назад

Ahhh... a former recruiter huh? You got the cheat codes I've been looking for

@Farzan__Bayat 4 месяца назад

Having all these features on my profile, but recruiters don't even answer my messages, let alone being contacted by recruiters first-hand. They don't even read the resumes that are already sent to them.

@gabrielizukanne3272 Год назад

Is writing a post regularly also help boost your search on LinkedIn?

@goinggreenforlongevity9048 Год назад

From my research, yes, since it makes your account "active"

@sarahtennant1035 3 месяца назад

This is all great advice for those who have years of experience in the field they are in. However, this doesn't work for career changers with transferable skills. No recruiter is going to see beyond my lack of experience, despite having a wealth of transferable skills.

@nickl3135 5 месяцев назад

So basically they are looking to steal experienced professionals who have been loyal to a successful company... makes sense aha. I feel like if you only have educational experience and are looking for a job in a field that you have no job experience in than your chances of getting contacted by a recruiter are very low... which is unfortunate because that is when you need them the most ! Ah, the irony of life.

@doctorocasio 4 месяца назад

None of this will help if there is crazy competition for your niche. Recruiters are flooded with qualified candidates. I have done all these steps and never been contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn after 1200+ apps.
