Make a Substantial Presentation of Yourself Finding empty and abandoned LinkedIn profiles is weird. But finding empty and active profiles is stupid. Most of the  recruiters can’t get the reason job seekers join LinkedIn, use it but don’t provide any information (or provide unclear data). Two reasons: they have nothing to write or truly don’t understand the purpose and the aim of this service. The  solution of the first problem is simple –  keep on gaining experience. The solution of the second problem is even simpler – keep on reading this article. In fact, the goal of such services as LinkedIn is to help job seekers find jobs and recruiters - find suitable employers. How could they notice your page, if it has nothing catchy, exciting, suitable for their position? You can check unusual ways to get a job if attracting attention is not your strongest point. Therefore,  provide exact information about your professional and personal skills, employment history, and abilities. Use keywords that can draw the attention of your potential recruiters. Accept and Create Invitations Building connections is another goal of LinkedIn. What’s the benefit? Any RIGHT connections will make you closer to the company and surroundings you would like to join. You won’t be judged for creating different events or misunderstood for inviting people you, actually, don’t know.
