Which LinkedIn mistake are you guilty of? For me, it's mistake 7. 😬
I think my headline could be more customized...great tips, Heather!
#4 Not writing a summary . It's quite difficult.
Awesome James! What is your headline now? How can you improve it?
Gaurav, I totally agree! Writing a summary is difficult. That was one of the hardest parts for me to complete with my LinkedIn profile.
Erin, no worries! This happens to all of us. What is your headline now?
Great Insights. My main mistakes are :1. Not personalizing connection requests 2. Making requests to new connections without building a relationship first.
Lots of people make this mistake. But it is so simple to just look at someone's profile and refer to something they've written, said, something you have in common and reference it in your connection request. And the best thing is, this little mini-conversation allows you to start building those relationships. Good luck!
Thank you so much, Heather! I'm in the process of setting up my account. I am so glad I found your channel! This is such a great help! I look forward to watching more of your instructional videos.
Hi Stacy, thanks for watching. Have you registered for the LinkedIn Jumpstart Challenge, happening this week? You'll love it. Here's the link to sign up: heatheraustin.online/linkedin-live/
Great LI tips, Heather. All great tips, and they work for non-job seekers too. I still don't get why people don't have a profile picture. Cheers!
Adriana, thanks for watching. I think people are still afraid to put themselves out there, making it harder for them to upload a pic.
Great tips, Heather! LinkedIn is a great resource if leveraged properly.
I totally agree! LinkedIn is a powerful resource. Have we connected there yet?
Always trying to learn more about LinkedIn and you are esentially a LinkedIn GURU Heather. Every time I think about LinkedIn I think about you :)
Thanks Brandi, I so appreciate that.
Great video Heather. Really helpful tips and explained really well. Thanks.
Thanks Dal! I'm glad you liked these LinkedIn tips. Thanks for watching.
My biggest issue is how stale my profile is...I haven't changed it in years. I'm ashamed I know (but I also love love my job and don't want my boss to think I'm thinking of leaving) :)
Hi there! This is a common issue. It's pretty normal these days to have a nice, updated LinkedIn profile. So if your boss asks you anything about it, just tell him/her - everyone has an updated profile.
Thank you for the great tips Heather. I need to get to work!
Awesome! So excited to see your profile come together.
Great tips. Thanks Heather I'll be working on my LinkedIn profile soon and your tips are very helpful 👍
Fantastic! Thanks for watching.
Until I found your videos, I had no idea that changing my URL to be personalized was a “thing”. It took about 2 minutes to change it to my name! It was one of the quickest updates I’ve done to my LinkedIn profile. Glad to get these tips as I re-enter the job market!
Awesome Nita! So happy to hear this tips was useful.
Such great tips! I think I will update my LinkedIn today!!
Hi there! Yes, you need to get going with your profile. Your videos are the perfect for LinkedIn.
I try to watch other and see what they are doing. Always a great idea to look at your profile from an outside perspective. I didn't think about the SEO/Keywords on LinkedIn. Actively seeking work lol The worse I see is the "objective" section of a resume this seems about the same IKE!
Aw yes! SEO is also a big deal on LinkedIn. For example, if you wanted a new client to find you on LinkedIn, you need to put the search terms he/she would use in your summary and headline.
This is so good to know! As a college student, this is super helpful
Awesome! So glad you found this video useful.
Very helpful video. Thanks
This is where I'm weakest so these tips are really helpful - LinkedIn is on my list of things to focus on in 2019 :)
Hi there Kylie! Thanks for watching. I'm glad to hear you are going to focus on LinkedIn in 2019.
Great tips, Heather! I have to admit that I am guilty of not asking for recommendations.
Aw, isn't it so difficult to ask for recommendations. I have the hardest time doing this as well. Thanks for watching.
Yes! I hate asking.
Haha! I'm still working through that mistake myself.
Another great video. I was guilty of using the long URL and my picture was not public.
That's okay Ruth. Have you changed your URL to reflect your name?
Yes, fixed it.
Awesome, way-to-go!
Thank you for share great video information. .chef idea here thanks you..
Hey thanks Chef! So glad you enjoyed the video. Are you currently on LinkedIn?
Nice
Hello Professor Heather, I just saw your vedio and it was really helpful. I have a question. If, during the time between two jobs I had to take up a small job just to pay my bills which I would not want to be on my resume but I somehow updated it on LinkedIn, how can I correct it?
Hello!! Thank you for the videos, Ms.Heather, I have a doubt and would like to know is it possible to put previous employment experience as a heading in the LinkedIn Profile.
Thank you !!
I've had several LinkedIn contacts keep their previous employment experience in their headline, particularly if it is something noteworthy, or if they are in graduate school. I know one many who has ex-Uber Executive on his headline. I was a Fulbright Scholar several years ago and a TED Speaker, both of which are impressive, so I keep those in my headline even now. LinkedIn is an awesome tool- I hope it helps you get the notice you are looking for.
I'm always perfecting my profiles. I need to get you to help figure out my LinkedIn Profile :) And, what about personal Linkedin vs business profiles? I have started to see you can have both. So much to learn??
Brandi, I wouldn't recommend two separate profiles. You should have a personal profile and then a business page. Similar to Facebook.
I admit that I only have 1 recommendation from 2 years ago. I have friends that I've considered writing requests for and may do it for the heck of it because I dont see why they would be unhappy about that lol.
I am not on LinkedIn - that is probably my biggest mistake. But I feel I don't have time for another social platform!
Katarina H. Replace Facebook to LinkedIn Eezey peezy 😀
Katrarina, no worries! I'm not super active on Instagram. I'm sure I'm missing out on opportunities, but I can only focus on so many social platforms at once.
Most people aren't super engaged on LinkedIn. I use it for about 15 minutes each morning, but I'm a Career Coach. Only about 40% of LinkedIn users go on the platform daily. I think it is worth having even if you only spend a few minutes each week. It just helps when it comes time to look for a job or find someone with a similar career that you need as a resource.
Hello! Should I include a note under 'Note to recruiters' under 'Career interests'?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there! Such a great question. Yes, use the career interests section to communicate with recruiters. Also, I'm hosting a free LinkedIn training tomorrow live on UA-cam. You can join me right here: ua-cam.com/video/g-eItoxo3H4/v-deo.html
Hey Heather, Who can see your profile? Is it public or set as private?
What do you think of the autogenerated summaries that Linkedin generates?
I have one question from you, that how I will add 'causes cares about' at my LinkedIn profile, in fact I search it on UA-cam but didn't find it.
I'd love it if youtube offered users to modify the pitch of the audio in the playback settings, the same it offers to change the playback speed.
How can I create a personal URL Linkedin address?
It's actually quite easy. Just go to the top right and click on view profile. Then you will see (again, top right) it will give you the option to EDIT public profile & URL. Good luck!
Prof Heather, how should be the headline if I'm not working right now ?
Hi there Yasmen. Great question. Here are some examples for students:“Branding specialist, seeking marketing internship” or “Digital marketing professional focused on leadership, team building and client success" or “Economics Major and aspiring financial analyst”
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin Hi Prof Heather ^^
Thanks for replying 🌷 Actually, I'm not a student & I've worked before, but I think I can use your first or last exmaple with adding the position I'm seeking to :)
Having a custom background image on LinkedIn is definitely key for STANDING OUT 😊When designing your LinkedIn cover photo, just keep in mind that the placement of your profile picture changes on mobile and desktop, so you’ll want to make sure that none of the important information on your LinkedIn banner (such as call-to-actions, contact details) GET HIDDEN by your profile picture 😉
many job seekers I see don't edit their skills section. They allow LI to decide for them what skills they have and don't bother to edit and reach out for endorsements.
When I went to #SMMW18 I wrote in the message and said Hey I'm @BlogginBrandi and am coming to SMMW this year. I want to connect before the event :)
Love it Brandi! This is the perfect way to make a new connection.
1. Profile Picture - NOPE, opens up for discriminations.
When we are connected on LinkedIn with some unknown people who hold a good position in the technical world, than how should we start a conversation with them?
How to create a resume on LinkedIn?
I don't know if it's a mistake or just an irritation to me. I hate that LinkedIn MAKES me pay for seeing who reviews my profile. I will shut down my profile every so often when there a a lot of reviews and I can't see who it was. It's like paying a ransom and I don't like it.
Hi Melissa! I know what you mean. It's a little creepy when LinkedIn says - see who's viewed your profile. I've don't have a LinkedIn paid account. I normally just ignore those messages.
How recover permanently restriction account? Can you please help anyone.
Spelling errors come on people This is not okay anymore :(
Totally agree! Especially with spell check.
Vomiting a sales pitch into connection's inboxes. 🤮🤢🤮
Wrong, just wrong
My mistake: boring summary.
