I thought LinkedIn was a waste of time

[L0Qutus]

How many of you use your picture in your profile ?

My resume is immaculate but I don't trust those recruiters

Outside of real world connections, LinkedIn is the best way to get a job.

I stayed on Indeed and SimplyHired for months with no results while LinkedIn helped me in half the time.

Same here

@DirtyMoney

I work for a national non-profit that trains youth (18-25 years old) to get their A+ cert and find careers in IT, do you think this method would be effective in helping them find jobs??

Why wouldn’t it work? No reason it wouldn’t

 

[DirtyMoney]

Sounds like your career did the heavy lifting and you just needed visibility

Either way I agree with you but the caveat is you have to have something to offer.

Yeah CV is solid just needed everyone to know who I was

I use those too. Indeed has the best email daily that tells you sgat jobs match your profile.

I send out about 30 applications daily manually to grow my list of recruiter contacts

Use a fake pic they looks like you if you have to. Make sure you’re dressed formally

I'm using LinkedIn Premium right now pretty heavy because I'm on the job hunt currently.
If you're currently in the job market or looking, it's an incredible resource. I'd recommend linking specific skills and software you leverage fairly heavily on your profile. That way, when recruiters are doing a search for "tableau, excel, etc"your profile will rise to the top.

I'm in Digital Marketing and would love to have someone put me up on Fiverr and it benefits though.

DM's open

Yeah those roles pay 100k+

So you think Premium is worth it? I used my free month but didn't feel like I needed it.

didnt know this

Breh they used to be an option called “resume builder” but they took it off roughly 2 years ago. Crazy thing is my cpr instructor put me on game about linked in and the resume builder option. Well I just went to renew my cpr this weekend and I told him how the option is gone and I need to update my resume. He says yes the option is not there but u can still make a resume on there, I forget the exact steps cuz I haven’t jumped on in to do it. But from what I remember u click on your picture, it should send u to a window that has 3 dots somewhere on the screen(•••) I believe u click on it or right click it and it gives u an obtain to down load in pdf file. It down loads in a resume.

Cheat code to make a resume.

I haven’t fukked with it so I don’t know how nice the lay out work but the lay out is there.

The old resume builder they had was legit though, u were able to pick different lay outs.

hasn't been too useful to me but i'm barely out of entry level status so
