4. How to Put Your Best Foot Forward on Your LinkedIn Profile

So far, we’ve learned that LinkedIn is a powerful tool in the hands of recruiters. This link has practical tips for job seekers on how to build your online presence with a complete, comprehensive LinkedIn profile.

Key Takeaways:

Facebook and Twitter are useful for employer branding projects and employeereferrals.
LinkedIn is used mainly to search, track and contact candidates.
LinkedIn wins first place among social networks used by recruiters. And yet, more than half of recruiters use two or more sites when scouting for talent. Among the top three are Facebook and Twitter.
Don’t be a string of digits and letters. Customize the URL of your profile and post it on all the platforms you use for professional purposes.
Be creative when coining descriptions, but avoid ostentation. Terms such as ninja, guru or wizard reduce your credibility with recruiters.
Make your summary appealing but brief. Focus on your experience section. Briefly introduce the employer and share your work samples if possible.
Work on your social network. Get reciprocal recommendations. Give “likes”and “follows.
