[Joyzfsddt66]

Many recruiters and staffing managers rely on LinkedIn extensively when sourcing candidates. Whether you're employed or looking for a job, keeping your profile up-to-date is important. Maximize your profile, target your activity and you WILL get noticed.

1) Make the most of stealth mode. If you're updating your profile and DON'T want people to denmark whatsapp phone number see every change you make, go into settings and click on "Turn on/off your activity broadcasts." This is highly recommended if you're employed and looking for new opportunities. It can look suspicious to your current employer and colleagues if they start to see you making additions to your page.

2) Get into groups. Don't just join a group, get involved! Every time you like or comment in a group discussion, you're seen by the other members of the group - whether they are your connections or not! Also, did you know that you can send a message to a fellow group member without being connected? This can be a powerful tool. Don't abuse this feature, but do use it to your advantage.

3) Quantify your accomplishments. Hiring managers look through dozens, and in many cases, hundreds, of profiles daily. You really only have seconds to grab their attention. Add statistics, numbers and percentages that show how you saved your employers time, effort and money.

4) Add images and links. If you click on "Edit Profile" on your page, it will bring up an Edit option by your Summary and Experience sections. Click on the + sign on the right to add links, images and documents to your page. This is the perfect place to add articles, blog posts and other work that showcase your skills and strengths. Note - these photos, links and documents only show up to connections. Non-connections will only see the text of your profile if they search and find you via a search engine.
