This video, the third of five in the series, teaches the foundations of creating a solid and memorable LinkedIn profile.
Key insights from this video if you’re looking to apply for a tech sales job:
1. Use a catchy tagline on your LinkedIn profile to make a solid first impression and highlight your career goals.
2. Use a professional-looking photo of yourself on your LinkedIn profile to make a good impression and include your location.
3. Be specific and active on LinkedIn to show that you are an engaged user, and personalize your About section.
4. Use the first person and make your LinkedIn profile personal, list the most relevant experience, and fill out education, licenses, and certifications.
5. List your certifications and courses on your LinkedIn profile to show that you are willing to learn and highlight relevant skills for keyword searches, and remember to give and receive recommendations.
6. Get more recommendations on your LinkedIn profile to increase your credibility.
7. Make sure you’re not following controversial or offensive people online, list yourself as open to opportunities on your LinkedIn profile, and specify the type of job you’re looking for to increase your chances of being discovered by recruiters.
