How To Get More Interviews Using LinkedIn - How to Use Linkedin to Find a Job!

Recruiters have wasted my time in the last 3 month. They don’t know how to read cv and see the skills I don’t have. My job search get me better suited jobs and I stopped answering the phone. Yes, that bad. Had I known I would have got a job faster I believe.

I applied for a job in Linkin that was filled already so I had to make a feedback saying this should be removed as it is closed and copy and paste the email I received fromtbe company. Sad as I took an hour to apply.

I have been contacted directly by recruiters where they ask my CV when its already attached on my profile.

Great content on this channel.

Can a person load more than one resume? If yes...how many? I want a video editing or a voice-over position but I will take a cs position while I wait to land my preferred job. Thank you!

Simple. Lie! As much as it's "factually" possible. As close as you can bring that to something you actually did. Lie! Shamelessly. Guess what, everyone does that and if you are the 1d1ot who don't you will have a tough life, as corporate rat-racer.

If a recruiter reaches out to me stating their name and “I came across your profile and your profile is a good fit for ___” what should I respond with?

I could not find how to upload a resume on Linkedin profile.

any tips on applying for an internal position within a company?

It seems that the steps for making your profile visisble to recruiters are different, LinkedIn has changed the Settings pages.

Thank you for the video I had done most but I think missed the most important one which is indicating that I am looking for a role to recruiters lol

Thanks for the interesting and informative video. The only thing I would suggest is this: I find LinkedIn to be a little difficult to navigate. Each time you suggest a tweek to the profile, it would be helpful if you showed us exactly where on the site to do this. I just couldn't find where I should go to complete the tasks.

Got my current job due to stating my opinions and writing articles on LinkedIn. Current CEO literally stalked me, I was sure it was a scam. Here I am, with a BOMB job.

You shouldn't need to put you info on a social media platform to find a job.

Which is the option to upload the resume?

I am an older person looking for a job. If I put a picture of myself I won't get anyone interested because I am in my 60s. There is job discrimination and I don't think recruiters are age friendly. If I put my aging face on a profile picture I won't get any recruiters calling me. I have a nice profile picture on Linked In but it was taken a few years ago and from a distance, not close up. I get calls from recruiters because of my picture and maybe I am qualified for the job that is posted but when they ask to see me on Zoom they don't get back in touch with me. I had 3 interviews with a company in Austin and finally, the last interview the guy asked if I had kids and grandkids then told me that they have 20 year olds working there. I didn't want to work there. That was a red flag. I am not sure If I will ever be able to work again.

I will consider doing everything except a profile picture. As long as I present myself professionally in the professional environment, either for work or for an interview, a profile picture should not matter.

If you have nosy people in your life, such as non-friend acquaintances or estranged family, who want to know where you work or what city you live, and you don't really want them to have that information, is there any way to block them on LinkedIn? Or to make certain info only visible to recruiters and not the whole public? I don't like how the modern world of social media has us put all of our personal information online for anyone to see.

Looks like I'm going to get fully set up on LinkedIn!

I’m not sure why so many foreign recruiters are contacting me about weird contract positions that require relocation. A lot of the jobs are located in cities that defunded the police and near locations where violent riots occurred.

So I guess my question would be: if it only makes sense to feature 1 resume on my LinkedIn profile, which one should I choose?

If I'm optimizing my resume to pick out the skills and experiences that would best appear useful for specific companies, then I'll likely have different documents. Same goes for cover letters and statements of interest, although those don't really need to be featured since they're more unique to an individual company.

Would a master resume be appropriate? So, kind of like a complete work history document? Similar to a CV?

For my optimized resumes, I'd be pulling from a master one anyways

Edit: grammar

There's "Open for Work" status, which is public. What do you think of it?

I love your channel and all the advice you give, but encouraging people to publicly exhibit their resume is not a good idea. Private information should be kept in private, for security reasons. All the information that should be known –the career progression, skills and so on– are properly informed in the profile. You don't need to upload your resume to tell that. LinkedIn is about adding value, and that valuable content is the kind of posting people should be encouraged to create.

I don't open to recruiters on LinkedIn because I've tried that before and the only communication received was from people wanting me to invest in a pyramid scheme or something other than a legitimate corporate recruiter reaching out. If someone is interested they can email me same as anyone else. Otherwise, wake up every morning to a con artist and mega data scam in your mailbox.

Wow, I thought I had a decent presence on LinkedIn. I did not, but it is improving thanks to your vid. Thank You.

lol i have no more time to talk people into using linked in or even telling to fill out everything and become an all star

I do have an up to date LinkedIn profile myself, but I just get random spam from recruiters who just sends job specs out to everyone, which I don't think are targeted at all. I think they're just sending them out to as many people as possible, and they're usually not the best job opportunities, or at least doesn't exactly match with what I am looking for within a role.

Thank you for your advice on LinkedIn visibility

What`s your opinion about the Open to work ribbon you can go for on LinkedIn?

🤙.

The reason would not let recruiters to reach you on LinkedIn is you get bombard by Indian tech recruiters as an example. Those recruiters keep messaging, emailing, texting, and calling so much that it ruins your communication channels. You can receive like hundreds if not thousands of messages which makes it impossible to filter through all of it and it overwhelms you. They do the same thing with calling you and once they make contact, they will keep calling you back like every 10 minutes asking if you got their email/message. Those recruiters make it hard to find good recruiters and good roles. Often time these kinds of recruiters have really poor roles that want to lowball you and their clients tend not be great as well.

Weeding picture on LinkedIn profile. I was guilty of that some time ago but only because it was the only picture I had of med in a suite!

Can a potential employer see your profile if it’s set to “Recruiters only”?

Wait, how are new graduates suppose to get jobs if they don’t have the experience?
