Thanks
I want to get a help from you? How can i make a cv by using linkedin?
I so resonate with personalizing the connection request with a message.
Awesome! So glad to hear this. Thanks for watching.
These are great tips for inbound recruiting. Totally agree optimizing the top fold is so important and it’s key to drop keywords. I’m not sure about putting “searching for opportunities” as a turnoff though, some recruiters actively search that term.
Hi Tom! Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing your opinion. I love hearing ideas from others in the industry.
I really liked your examples for the headline. Recently LinkedIn has increased the number of characters you can how put in your headline. This means, more opportunity to put keywords, or more possibility of jamming it with unnecessary words :)
Hi! Thanks for watching. So good to know that LinkedIn increased its character limit. 😊
That was an insightful piece. Very concise, yet detailed and unambiguous. Thank you so very much ma'am
Thank you so much, Professor Austin, for such an insightful video!
You're so welcome Joyce! Thanks for stopping by today. Are you making any of these LinkedIn mistakes?
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin not anymore! Haha ;)
Great video :) so eye opening on the mistakes that we might be making without realizing.
Hi there Eddiana! How are you? I hope you're well. Thanks for watching.
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin I am doing pretty well thank you! how about yourself? I am really enjoying your awesome LinkedIn videos, so engaging and informative, I just sent your resume video and template to one of my Alumni recent grads they were looking for help on resumes and I send to visit your YT channel :)
Great video, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Yes. Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching. Are you making any of these mistakes?
Thanks !!!
nice mam,you are always helps us to realize our small mistakes which costs us more..
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
I’ve added key words on my resume for a specific role before and I wish I learned to do that early enough. It got me an offer
Thank you for the great content. I have a question on how to make your headline on LinkedIn if you still a students(not graduated from college) and you looking for learning opportunities.Thanks
I find that dumping a job ad into a word clouds creator (create a picture for a block of text) will give more emphasis of the most commonly used words within the ad for you :)
Yes I have pulled keywords from a resume...and have advised clients to do so.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin You're welcome
Overall I would say the biggest mistakes I made before were based off of 1 and 2 but I've made some adjustments to correct them which will hopefully improve my profile.
Hi Professor Austin! Quick Q for you or anyone else more attentive than I: What do I actually *post* on LinkedIn as a job seeker? I’m working on getting my profile all professionalized, but I’m not too sure how one becomes active.
Best,
B.
I like your videos Heather . However, I like to know that individuals are actively looking because those are the people I reach out to first if they have a good profile. It saves me time and all my staff do that. We LOVE it so there are more than one schools of though on this. I am still working in recruiting as I want my staff to reach out to people who are actively looking. It also tells me that that person is bold and confident. Takes a lot of guts to say you are looking for work and advertise it. So as a Hiring manager for more than a half of my lifetime, let us discuss this one.
Awesome! I love hearing your thoughts and opinions in this. Thank you sharing. I teach my students to use the career interests section to signal to recruiters that they’re actively seeking. What are your thoughts in that. Would love to know!
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin I am really speaking form a recruiter's lens. I shy away from making blanket statements. However, everyone wants to take the path of least resistance. That is working smart. I would prefer to have 10 individuals who are genuinely looking for work and go through their profiles than to have to go through 100 profiles before I find my candidates. I filter by who is looking first and if I have not found any great profiles, I run another search. There are millions of people on LinkedIn and many persons are getting buried in the big sea. No matter how good our Boolean search strings are. The old days of being shy about looking for work on social media is over. There is no stigma about adding the looking for work feature. What I do not like is the new Linked In banner that people add to heir profile picture but that is just aesthetics, it is not preventing me from engaging.
What if I have to employers? I always have issues with whether or not I want to include both in my profile
Great
thank you mam
Most welcome 😊
I recently took my LinkedIn hyperlink off of my resume because I want them to focus on the content and not what I look like. Is that a deal breaker when actively searching?
Great question. Placing your LinkedIn URL on your resume is a best practice. Would you feel better if you had a professional take your photo? I know what you mean about not wanting the hiring official to focus on what you look like. A good photo might change that.
Mistake 5
I copied my work experience from CV and pasted in LinkedIn. Now I will edit work experience in a more personalized manner on LinkedIn.
Fantastic! I’d love to see the results when you’re done.
I did the same until I started following Heather's advise! I have been getting more profile views in the past 2 months than ever!
@@sangeethagopal5546 awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing. So happy my advice has helped you get more profile views.
What should I write in heading as a fresher with no job experience ??
Take a look a people in the industry you want to be in and see what they have on their headline, try to use words related to those but relating it back to the work you have done in school or internships. Hope this helps!
@@freedom20288 fantastic advice! I couldn't have said it better.
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin Oh yay glad you agree :) thank you
Mistake number 4 😁
Thanks for sharing! This is a very common mistake.
Great videos! But the lighting affects the look of your iris in such a way that it detracts from your message(s).
i really was just thinking this but didn't want to say it haha
I wish this video is subtitled because there are deaf people like me who would love to understand what you are saying
Hi Ciara! There should be subtitles on the video. Do you have a closed caption option on your end?
'Innovative' is not an action verb. It is an adjective.
Awesome! Thanks for the clarification. 😊
The links provided in the comment section are not working.
Really? Which link isn't working for you? They seem to be working on my end.
No personalized profile.
Awe yes! This very common to overlook. I'm so happy for you to know about customizing your URL. Good luck.
I do not have a summary yet
That's okay, you can start working on your summary today.
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin very true I have thoughts in my mind now I need to start writing them. Thank you for your content! I appreciate the effort you’re making and the validity of your content. It’s relevant and confirming.
What is your take on LinkedIn's Open To Work feature and especially on the photo frame added to your profile picture so anyone who sees your profile, will know you are open to new opportunities?
