Why a Resume and LinkedIn Profile are Must-Haves for Your Job Search
While Facebook might be the most frequented social media platform worldwide, LinkedIn takes the cake when it comes to career-oriented content. Professionals from all industries are on LinkedIn, and with over 875 million members, you can trust that your colleagues, boss, and future employers are on LinkedIn, too.
Whether you’re happily ensconced in your role, casually looking, or have committed to a role change, keeping your LinkedIn profile and, in turn, your resume up-to-date will have you ahead of the game. With a regularly updated profile and resume you won’t have to worry about scrambling for notable achievements, they’ll already be on there, ready for hiring managers to see.
Build your Professional Brand
A brand is no longer about logos and slogans. You have a professional brand, whether you’re aware of it or not. It’s how you behave, the impact you have, and the impression you leave on others. Let your LinkedIn profile and resume reflect that positively, highlighting your areas of success.
Professional Networking Made Easy
Well, easy might be pushing on it, but at least it doesn’t involve mixers with bland appetizers and awkward small talk. LinkedIn has transformed from a stuffy professional site where people eagerly engage and publish quality content.
Prepare for a Job Hunt in the 2020s
Jobs boards, shared job listings, and hiring managers are all in abundance on LinkedIn. Better believe that if you’re checking them out, they’re giving you the professional once-over, too. Let them know you’re the best candidate for the job with your stellar, effective LinkedIn profile, not one that’s sat blank since you signed up in 2015.
