Linkedin

Anyone serious about networking has heard of LinkedIn—the world's largest professional network, with over 850 million members. Professionals from all walks of life use it to connect with colleagues, potential employers, and experts in their field. While the reach of LinkedIn is undeniable, simply signing up does not guarantee automatic network growth. You will need to put in time and effort to realize the full benefits it has to offer. This article discusses eight tips to make your efforts more productive and help you network better on LinkedIn. 1. Build a Solid Profile Your LinkedIn profile is both your introduction and your resume. Before accepting your connection request, people will scrutinize your profile to get an idea of who you are, what you do, your skills, and the things that interest you. Therefore, you must craft an impressive profile to draw others to you. One way you can do this is by completing your profile. An incomplete profile projects you as having little or nothing to say about yourself, which is not beneficial for building relationships. Consequently, your profile should include a professional-friendly-looking profile picture, a list of all your relevant previous jobs, educational history, skills, and a personal summary.…

Klick has a clear understanding of their value to job seekers: “Klick is the place where you can do the best work of your career, with people you love, in an environment that supports your growth.” But they had to share that message with people who might not think they’re a natural fit for health marketing. Nine videos in the “Different Paths to Klick” series were created specially for LinkedIn to target early-stage talent. In the two-minute videos, Klicksters shared their varied career paths to the agency. One tells of moving from music to psychology to branding, while another discusses her  doctorate in comparative medieval literature and transition to cross-cultural marketing. In all, more than 60,000 people have viewed the videos on LinkedIn, and new applicants poured in: Klick raised its number of direct applications from 13% in 2019 to 30% in 2021. The series earned them a top spot in PR Daily’s Social Media and Digital Awards for LinkedIn.

SINGAPORE — Jobseekers, beware. Your potential employer could be following you on Facebook, Instagram and even TikTok.  More recruiters are now screening job candidates’ social media profiles as part of their hiring process, according to LinkedIn News Asia, the news section of professional jobs networking site LinkedIn. The LinkedIn post, published on Tuesday (Sept 27), did not specify how many more companies are doing so, but it did generate a debate on the issue, drawing over 100 comments in two days. Opinions were split on whether such a practice by hiring manager is acceptable or not. So what exactly are recruiters looking out for in seeking out candidates' social media activities? Employers don’t care if you ate a granola bowl for breakfast or went to the Maldives in the summer — although the use of profanities might be a cause for concern. Instead, companies are using social media as a screening tool for job candidates. Some potential red flags? Illegal activities, graphic or obscene materials and offensive comments, according to Business News Daily.  According to a 2020 survey by The Harris Poll, 70 per cent of United States employers believe that companies should screen candidates’ social media profiles during the hiring process.  More…
