This is a purely professional network and does not need in depth
introduction about its value addition to job seekers like you. It has a well
rounded ecosystem equipped with niche groups, company pages and professional
profiles.
The
basic prerequisites for you to get started are:
- · Create a Linkedin account and update it with the necessary and up-to-date professional information about yourself.
- · Connect with your alumni, college faculty, ex-colleagues, employers, current colleagues and other professional network.
- · Update your profile with websites, blogs, industry associations and groups that you are actively involved with.
What else could be done using Linkedin?
Identify
three most relevant groups which help you with your industry and career
learning. The hidden fact in such participation is that, most smart recruiters
hang around such groups to identify talent.
Alert
Linkedin about the jobs you would be interested in.Linkedin Jobs alert
you when companies are looking for talent through their job boards on Linkedin.
Listen to webinar announcements. Linkedin is a hub of niche and professional
online activity, where different professional bodies host their presence and increase
engagement through free online webinars. These webinars congregate individuals
with similar interests and you may find senior management from your dream
companies being a part of such meetings.
Use
Advanced Search. An
underused search feature on Linkedin is the ‘Advanced Search’. Some senior
recruiters choose to keep the vacancies away from advertisement and hence state
silently about the vacancies. They look forward to connect with people who
search genuinely for jobs like theirs and get in touch with them.
Participate
in relevant Surveys. Surveys are not only published to conduct research
but also with secondary objectives such as identifying right talent. When you
share your perspective and knowledge through surveys they help you be found by
the right people.
