Sumber : 5 Langkah Merapikan Profil LinkedIn-mu – Glints Blog
Making your LinkedIn profile a professional isn’t difficult. You can follow some of the methods below as a guide.
1. Use professional photos
Even though the form of LinkedIn is like social media in general, it does not mean that you can put a photo as a profile picture.
We recommend that you use a professional photo with a plain background to show that you are a professional. A photo or visa photo may be used as a reference as a professional photo. Using photos will give you a multi-dimensional picture of who you are for those who visit your profile.
2. Use keywords
Many companies already use a tool called LinkedIn Recruiter to find prospective employees in their companies.
Usually they use keywords or keywords to find what the company wants. For example if they enter the keyword “writer” all profiles that have that keyword will appear as search results.
Don’t forget to enter keywords that match your skills in the profile summary to increase the chances of appearing in a company’s search.
3. Enter all work history
Fill in all the ‘Experiences’ sections with the employment history. Also describe in detail your work and responsibilities in each column. LinkedIn was formed to build a network with fellow professionals.
Therefore, the more you experience, the more interesting your profile will be to be glimpsed by the company.
4. Write a summary
Some people assume that the ‘Summary’ column in the profile is not an important thing and just skip it. Very wrong!
As in applying for a job in general, a cover letter is also needed that contains a brief summary, right? In a LinkedIn profile, it is also necessary so that the recruiters who enter your profile already know you briefly.
You can write down the hard skills and soft skills you have. You can also write something that stands out and is unique to yourself to make it easier to remember.
5. Ask for recommendations
To create a credible LinkedIn profile, don’t forget to ask for recommendations from those around you. This form of recommendation can be shown by giving an Endorsement to your profile.
The ‘Endorse’ column contains the skills you have so that others can give approval by clicking the ‘+’ sign on the profile.
The more people who add Endorsements to your profile, the more it appears that your abilities are recognized by your networking.
Well, those are some of the uses of LinkedIn profiles and also how to create branding in them. If you already have a LinkedIn profile, it’s a good idea to tidy up immediately to open up opportunities to be sought after by big brands.
