How To Upgrade Your Profile And Resume In LinkedIn Hacks ?

LinkedIn Hacks

LinkedIn is an online platform that connects the world's professionals. A complete LinkedIn profile will summarize your professional experience to your connections, current and future employers, and recruiters. Through your profile, you can showcase your professional life, milestones, skills and interests.

Here’s Some LinkedIn Hacks to Upgrade your Profile and Resume 

PERSONALIZE YOUR LINKEDIN PROFILE URL

Profile building is really very important to develop the overall personality of a student but it is not something that can be achieved overnight. In creating their profiles, students can reflect on what motivates and challenges them when learning.

OWN YOUR MEDIA

It helps differentiate your profile and makes it stand out from the crowd.

It increases engagement as readers stay longer on your profile and in the process get to know you better and imagine how you could fit into a role they are seeking to fill. It lets you showcase some of your creativity.

ADD SHINY NEW SECTIONS TO YOUR PROFILE

Create a compelling headline.

Tell your career story, not your career history.

Spotlight your personal brand. 

Highlight projects that differentiate you.

Identify and communicate your convictions.

Share your wisdom.

TIDY UP YOUR ENDORSEMENTS

Endorsing your connections' skills is a way to recognize any professional abilities that you've seen them demonstrate. You may be asked to provide feedback on skills and endorsements. Endorsing your colleagues can also help you to maintain strong connections with the people in your network.

CONNECT WITH PEOPLE YOU DON’T YET KNOW

Imagine this. You’re at a networking event and a professional- approaches you extending their hand to introduce themselves. You quickly turn your back on them and walk away. Sounds crazy, yet millions of LinkedIn users do this when they ignore invitation requests from people they don’t know.

“Why would I accept an invitation from a stranger?” is the response I get when I advise clients to accept most of the invites sitting in their Inbox. On LinkedIn you have connections, not friends and that should be your first clue.

PERSONALIZE INVITATIONS TO CONNECT

Each and every touchpoint matters when it comes to building and deepening relationships. Personalizing your connection requests not only helps you to develop quality relationships, but it also makes it much more likely your dream connection will accept your connection request.

EXPORT YOUR LINKEDIN CONNECTIONS

When you're exporting your connection data, you may notice that some of the email addresses are missing. You will only see email addresses for connections who have allowed their connections to see or download their email address. The CSV and VCard formats don't support all characters.

STEPS TO EXPORT YOUR CONNECTIONS:

1. Click the 'Me' dropdown menu in the upper right-hand side of your LinkedIn navigation bar.

2. Click 'Settings & Privacy.

3. Click the 'Privacy' tab.

4. Scroll down to 'Download your data' which is under the 'How LinkedIn uses your data' section.

5. Click 'Download your data.

FOLLOW RELEVANT INFLUENCERS FOR YOUR INDUSTRY

Following relevant influencers on LinkedIn helps to put a range of interesting content in your feed, which you can then share with others when you think it adds value. It also helps to give context to your LinkedIn profile, demonstrating your passion for what you do.

TAKE A SKILLS ASSESSMENT

 A skills assessment is an online test that enables you to demonstrate the level of your skills, and display a Verified Skills badge on your profile. Data shows that candidates with verified skills are around 30% more likely to be hired for the roles they apply for – and displaying proof your abilities strengthens your personal brand more generally as well. Displaying the results of your skills assessments is entirely voluntary, and you can retake the tests as often as you like before showing that you’ve passed.

SHOWCASE YOUR PASSION FOR LEARNING

When you complete a course on LinkedIn Learning, you’ll have the opportunity to add a course certificate to your LinkedIn profile. You do this from within the Learning History section of your LinkedIn Learning account – where you can also send updates about your learning to your network if choose.

GET CREDIT FOR YOUR THOUGHT-LEADERSHIP WITH PUBLICATIONS

The Publications section is one of the most under-used elements in LinkedIn profiles – and that means that you can really stand out from the crowd when you use this feature to draw attention to existing thought-leadership content. Have you helped to write an eBook or a White Paper? Or written a post on your company’s blog? The Publications section links your profile to these assets.

ADD COMMENTS

Sharing is great – but it’s just the starting point. When you add comments to your shares, you give yourself greater prominence within the feed and start to express why you think a particular piece of content matters. Well-expressed comments also enable you to share a broader range of content. It might be that you don’t agree with a point of view but still find it interesting, for example. A comment that can express that viewpoint starts to establish your opinion and thought-leadership. It’s also more likely to draw additional comments, which then raise your profile across LinkedIn. Bear this mind when you’re writing your comment – and make sure you’re saying something you’re happy for people to associate with you.
