Having a LinkedIn profile that stands out is crucial when you are trying to market yourself amongst other competitors in the job market. EBR's Career Coaching offers a LinkedIn profile development service that can help you build your brand and network.
Here are reasons why a standout LinkedIn profile is vital to your career:
- Employers and recruitment agencies want to see what other people say about candidates, how they are rated and what skills their peers agree they have.
- Recruiters use LinkedIn profiles to gauge how much interest a candidate shows in our industry - looking at groups that they follow and the postings that they have made or liked.
- Active involvement in groups helps you make new primary connections which, in turn, grows your exposure to people who are looking for employees with your skills.
- Profiles with a photo are 11 times more likely to be viewed than those which don't.
- LinkedIn is a search engine, so your headline will show up frequently in key locations such as search results, connection invitations, employee listings, company pages and messages. Make it professional and memorable to attract attention.
