Linkedin

LinkedIn is a social networking site used by individuals (professionals and employees), salespeople, and recruiters (businesses, employers and companies). A common link for all is the LinkedIn profile.  For individuals, the LinkedIn profile gives a sneak peek into professional experiences garnered over the years. It consists of sections such as experience, education, license and certificate, skills, recommendations, etc.  LinkedIn offers the opportunity for individuals and salespeople to advertise their profiles and posts, thus increasing reach. Also, recruiters can advertise job opportunities targeted at the right audience. Such advertisements are known as LinkedIn ads. Benefits of LinkedIn Ads Most certainly, running a LinkedIn ad costs money. However, the advantages and benefits make it a worthy investment.

Having a LinkedIn profile picture increases the likelihood of your profile being viewed 14 times Back in the day, including a headshot with your resume was expected.

If you believe a headshot (your profile picture) may lead to hiring discrimination, you likely see LinkedIn as a step back. A fun fact: Leonardo da Vinci is credited with creating the first resume. His “resume” was essentially a cover letter written in 1482 touting his inventions to Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan, a potential employer. It was not until the 1930s that the modern resume became common. LinkedIn, which I believe is much more relevant to employers than your resume, is not going anywhere anytime soon, nor will it be removing its profile picture feature, which all social media platforms have. Debating the merits of LinkedIn is unproductive. Having a fully optimized LinkedIn profile is an unavoidable requirement for job seekers. I am sure you are aware that first impressions are everything. Whether you like it or not, within mere seconds, you are looked at, judged

LinkedIn scams are also on the rise with the rise of remote work. It seems the scammers want to get information from unwitting job seekers. Phishing is an online scam used by attackers to trick victims into revealing sensitive information or downloading software such as ransomware. How LinkedIn Scams Work Cybercriminals create job ads to attract applicants. This suggests that job postings for copywriters, digital marketing positions, and virtual assistant positions, among others, are favored by scammers. In addition, they use LinkedIn`s Easy Sign-up feature to minimize the obstacles that potential victims face. One such LinkedIn scam was carried out by accounts named after the International Association of Professional Writers and Editors (IAPWE). A father says scammers have fraudulently debited his daughter’s PayPal account using his daughter’s information. LinkedIn users receive messages from cybercriminals announcing that they have been shortlisted for a job. More sophisticated scammers will identify emails that have been publicly leaked on LinkedIn and contact you with job offers. In either case, hackers can trick a person into opening an app, which can then install various forms of malware on a computer or mobile device. How to Spot LinkedIn Scam Visiting a compromised website can create phishing

Jeanine "J.T." O'Donnell and Dale Dauten Dear J.T. & Dale: I used to get a lot of recruiters reaching out to me on LinkedIn, but now it seems like none of them are. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Are there any tips you can provide to help get more eyeballs on my profile? — ShaneJ.T.: With over 900 million users, LinkedIn is now the No. 1 platform for recruiters to search for candidates. However, that also means you have a lot more competition. It’s likely that your profile is no longer showing up in the top 50 search results. LinkedIn has an algorithm much like the internet search engines. You need to know how to utilize the algorithm for recruiters to find you. Recruiters search on keywords. Specifically, they search on words associated with the skills that they were told to look for in a candidate. So, you want to make sure that you have keywords optimized as much as possible. And that leads to one important tip: Your headline is the most important real estate on your LinkedIn profile because the algorithm looks at those words to match to keyword searches. A lot of people make the
