7 Tips For An Effective LinkedIn Profile

Writer's picture: OliveraOlivera

Is just having a LinkedIn profile enough for employers to contact you?

 

Not quite. 


If you want to get noticed, your profile MUST be COMPLETE and OPTIMISED.

 

If your profile does not match the role you want, you will likely not appear in recruiters' candidate searches.

 

So, here is what you should do to make your profile a magnet for employers:


🧲 Make your profile photo and other profile sections publicly visible (edit your visibility settings).


🧲 Revise or set your "Open to work" feature - be very targeted and specific with the job titles you want, locations, and workplace types. Recruiters filter and prioritise candidates by “Open to Work” if they match their preferences.

🧲 Write a strategic LinkedIn headline (you can find more about how to do it on my website's Articles & Tips page).


🧲 Choose the job titles from the drop-down list LinkedIn is offering you in the Experience section. In their LinkedIn search, recruiters always include a combination of various titles that could be similar to the scope of their openings.


🧲 Add all 50 skills in the Skills section, and make sure the top 3 are the most relevant for your target job. Recruiters include a combination of keywords/synonyms that match the skills for roles.


🧲 Start following the company before you apply.

 

Employers will search you up on LinkedIn (and other social media) before reaching out to you, there's no doubt.

 

So, why don't you make your profile a powerful job search tool, then?

 

When you make your LinkedIn profile more than just a digital resume— you transform it into a living, breathing representation of your professional identity.

 

And that will undoubtedly increase your chances of finding a new job faster. It’s easier than you think.


If you are not quite tech-savvy and LinkedIn profile optimisation is not your thing, ask for professional assistance.

 

Work with people who have experience with this and whose profiles are walking the talk. 🙂

Alessandro Lasi, Director, Business Process Reengineering at Johnson & Johnson, Switzerland

When you hire Olivera to brush up your Personal Branding you will get significantly more than any new resume!

In finding a new role within your company or at a new company what you really need is an image and a brand that others believe in. This is marketing 101 and Olivera will bring that to you.

Not only did she redo my resume that opened a lot of doors for me, she re-branded my LinkedIn profile and how I reached out to others; she also supported me all the way through my job transition to a new company, and was precious to set up my professional blog.

I highly recommend her services, you won't be disappointed.

Ofelia Ruiz, Regional Executive at Ricoma, USA

I'm very happy to give my recommendation for Olivera. She is a great professional and an excellent source of information with her insightful postings. She not only delivers a very high quality product, but her response and availability, makes her an outstanding service, together with her friendly personality. I will not hesitate to recommend her to all my fellow colleagues.

Marco Fuentes, Director Aerospace at Howmet, Mexico

Olivera is a remarkable Woman of great character and I would not hesitate to recommend her. In particular, Olivera has genuine talent and passion for adding value, leadership, training and giving support to executives.

Thashen Pillay, Turnaround Manager
at Neste, Netherlands

I recently had the pleasure of working with Olivera to improve my CV and LinkedIn profile after an unexpected occurrence in my career. I thought I had a decent CV already, but Olivera took it to a higher, more polished level. It was an absolute pleasure working with her!

 

Olivera's quick turnaround time on emails and document reviews is outstanding and her professional tips and expert guidance are extremely insightful and helpful - these were the things I valued the most. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. I would definitely recommend Olivera to anyone looking to take the next step in their careers by building and improving their online personal brand.

Cristopher Slauter, Senior Engineer at Amazon, USA

I recently had the pleasure to work with Olivera to revamp my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. After having worked with other coaches and resume writers previously without great success, I wasn't sure what to expect and was admittedly cautiously optimistic at best.

I could not have been more pleased with Olivera's approach, style, and great attention to detail ensuring I was on board with every change regardless of it's importance. She demonstrated a tenacity in her drive to produce results quickly knowing that the longer it took, the longer I wasn't applying with my best possible brand.

I am absolutely satisfied with the results of working with Olivera. On previous attempts at similar services, it always felt like I had overpaid for services that were underwhelming, and that I was simply a fee. With Olivera, not only were her rates surprisingly reasonable for the results delivered, I felt like I was working with a partner that was genuinely invested in my success..
