Job Search Series – Be in the Background!
A question for you. Next time you visit someone’s Profile, check where your eyes focus first?
Generally, we start looking at things from the top left so it might well be the photo. However, if it has been done well, then you normally find that it’s the background image – the banner that sits right across the top of the Profile.
This is essentially YOUR SHOP WINDOW if you like and what you put in there sets the tone for the rest of your profile as well as gives .
This area is critical to the 1st impression you give to anyone visiting your profile – and you know what they say about 1st impressions!
Needless to say, leaving it as the default blue image is wasting a massive opportunity.
Instead what can you do with it?

Job Search Series – Think like a Recruiter
Today, let’s start with a key fundamental – if you are using LinkedIn for a Job Search then you need to appeal to the people who are going to be looking for you like an attorney recruiter, whether these are people who work in a Recruitment agency or at the organization that is looking to hire you. Keep in mind also that most companies are doing some kind of assessment like the ones from this site https://wonderlic.com/wonscore/ to understand if a candidate like you can do the job.
So, as you create your profile or decide what you want to post or contribute to, you have to put yourself in their shoes – You have to think like a Recruiter!
When I run LinkedIn sales and marketing training sessions, I talk about your “Audience” – in other words, who do you want to sit up and take notice of YOU! In that case, it is talking about who would be your Buyer Persona or who would be the prospect that you want to talk to.
When it comes to job search, the same applies, but clearly the audience has changed. We now need Recruiters to find us and then be interested in us! Keep on reading and find here great information for your job search. (more…)
