Linkedin

Part 2 of 2Last time I discussed reasons why it’s important to be on LinkedIn, even if you aren’t an active job hunter.Today, I’ll share tips for job hunters to help you make the most of the time you spend on the platform.Let’s start with your profile page. Be sure to include a professional-looking profile photo. It should clearly show your face and not have distractions in the background.Your headline appears below your photo. If you don’t choose to edit it, LinkedIn will typically populate that field with your most recent title and employer. While that’s not necessarily bad, why not edit the profile to include key words or phrases your target audience might search for? After all, aside from your name, words in the headline are the next most relevant search area in your entire profile.As an example, my headline includes words such as workforce development, LinkedIn trainer, public speaker, etc. Those words tend to be words/phrases people are more apt to use in a general search than my title of director, Professional Center of Goodwill. If their goal is collecting info on people at Goodwill, then they can search by titles such as director, manager, vice president, etc.,…

The FBI said it has seen an increasing number of cases in which fraudsters use LinkedIn to find their victims. Sean Ragan, the FBI's special agent in charge of the San Francisco and Sacramento, California, field offices, sat down for an exclusive interview with CNBC to detail how the scams work. "It's a significant threat," Ragan said. "This type of fraudulent activity is significant, and there are many potential victims, and there are many past and current victims." Ragan explained that many instances of fraud involve cryptocurrency. He said that the scammers will create fake profiles and use them to send private messages to their potential victims. In some cases, they will spend several weeks or months gaining the trust of their victims before attempting to scam them. The scam usually starts with an offer to make money by investing in cryptocurrency. To give the scam the appearance of being legitimate, the fraudsters instruct their victims to invest using well-known platforms. Then, after a few months, the scammers convince their victim to move the money to another site, which they control. Once the money is moved, the scammers then withdraw everything. One woman told CNBC that she lost nearly $230,000 to a fraudster she met on LinkedIn.…
