\"Professional=LinkedIn\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hi,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being a professional degree student, when I joined IEEE (Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers), the very first thing my senior asked me was to create a LinkedIn profile and update it regularly. He said it will help in your professional growth. I wondered. What is the relation between job and social networking site? Aren’t professionals supposed not to use those sites. But when I signed up in LinkedIn I was astonished to see professional profiles, groups and recruiters in a social networking platform. I realized that creating a profile in LinkedIn and updating it regularly is important considering the fact that LinkedIn is the top professional network today. But there is a high chance for beginners to make mistakes in their profile and manage it.<\/p>\n

Here are a few points you have to remember :<\/p>\n

1. Upload a high-resolution, professional picture<\/strong><\/em>. High resolution is important. Recruiters go through a hundreds of profile each day, a picture, a visual memory helps to remember your profile.<\/p>\n

2.A good summary<\/strong><\/em>.Write a summary that gets at the heart of what you\u2019re interested in doing and conveys both your ability and your eagerness to learn and take on new challenges.\u00a0Make a call to action in your summary. If you are willing to speak to recruiters, encourage readers to get in touch.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3.Add connections<\/strong><\/em>. It is a misconception that you should connect only with people you know or you have business in nearby future. Every connection in LinkedIn is important.<\/p>\n

4. Appreciate<\/strong><\/em>. Send a ThankYou message to your new connection and those who viewed your profile. Like and comment on posts and appreciate others on your new job,work anniversary and their achievements.<\/p>\n

5. Don’t use oldies which are not so goodies<\/strong><\/em>. Including ‘likes to solve hard problems’,’hard-working’ doze off your skills section. Be specific with your skills. For eg. if you have skills to write, be specific whether it is technical or creative.<\/p>\n

6.Link to other places<\/strong><\/em> you want people to find you online. Showcase your projects or portfolio.<\/p>\n

7.Imp: Avoid typo and grammar mistakes<\/strong><\/em>. Seek your friend’s help to correct your profile.<\/p>\n

8.Regularly update your profile<\/strong><\/em> with your new experience and projects. Add your projects,posts and blog posts (links,pictures,documents) in your profile so that it don’t get faded in your profile.<\/p>\n

Nowadays all HR check LinkedIn profiles of applicants and LinkedIn opens door to greater opportunities. \u00a0I hope this will help you<\/p>\n

All the best \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
