\"Linkedin<\/a>
\nLinkedIn published an infographic outlining a study they conducted on 4,000 job seekers who were able to land a job within three months of applying by doing a few simple things on the social network. We\u2019re here to walk you through some of those steps so, you too, can be like the cool kids \u2014 or, at least the ones that land jobs in three months.
\nIf you haven\u2019t heard already, LinkedIn can be a job seeker\u2019s most effective resource for landing a dream career in today\u2019s fast-paced, digital world. However, you need to know the tricks of the trade in order to make your social job search on LinkedIn a success. Lucky for you, said professional social network is helping demystify these tricks in a nifty infographic, based on its study of 4,000 \u201csuper job seekers,\u201d who viewed a job listing and then joined that company within three months. Here, we expand on three of the seven super-job-seeker habits from the study and show how to implement them on your own LinkedIn profile.
\nAdd New Skills<\/strong>
\nWhy: According to the study, approximately 91 percent of these members had five or more skills listed on their profiles. Listing skills on your profile allows recruiters and potential employers to find you more easily via searches, and it also allows other members to rate those skills according to their experience working with you, which is equivalent to a mini-testament to your credibility \u2014 like fancy badges on your profile.
\nHow: Sign-on to your LinkedIn account and navigate to your profile. Scroll down to \u201cSkill & Endorsements\u201d and click on \u201cAdd skill\u201d at the bottom of that section. There is also an \u201c+ Add skill\u201d button that appears at the top of the section too, you just have to hover over the top-right of the \u201cSkills & Endorsements\u201d section for it to appear. Start typing in your new skill in the given box, you\u2019ll notice LinkedIn has suggested skills to choose from based on what you\u2019ve entered. You can either select one of the pre-set skills in the drop-down list provided, or type in a new skill if you cannot find one that matches. Once you\u2019ve completed that, click \u201cAdd\u201d to post to your profile. It\u2019s a piece of cake!
\nAdd a Professional Profile Photo<\/strong>
\nWhy: Why Your Profile Picture is Making You Look Dumb (and How to Fix It) explains why that profile picture showing you standing on a bar-top and holding a red party cup isn\u2019t considered a professional profile photo. Remember, you\u2019re trying to land a job on LinkedIn, not a date. LinkedIn\u2019s study showed that 89 percent of the 4,000 participants had professional profile photos. They say a picture says a thousand words, which is why your profile picture should portray your professionalism, while also letting the recruiter know that you were responsible enough to take a professional photo at all.
\nHow: Business Insider constructed an in-depth and comprehensive video that walks you through the steps for taking a professional LinkedIn profile photo, so you should probably watch it.
\nJoin Industry-Relevant LinkedIn Groups<\/strong>
\nWhy: The study revealed that, of the 4,000 LinkedIn members researched, 82 percent of them joined and were active in LinkedIn Groups that were applicable to their given industries. Groups are a great way to stay current in your industry and also show off your expertise via your posts, responses, and interactions with other members. Groups also serve as an effective way to expand your network with like-minded professionals, and, by doing so, you\u2019re more likely to come across job posting or valuable information posted a group\u2019s forum vs. for the general public to see. You\u2019re much more likely to get a referral by a fellow group member who posts a new job opening at his\/her company and recognizes you thanks to your credible responses and posts.
\nHow: No need to reinvent the wheel, here, so take a peek at LinkedIn\u2019s \u201cFinding and Joining a Group\u201d tutorial.
