How to set up and optimize your LinkedIn profile for job hunting

CV Majster knowledge base

LinkedIn is the largest social network for professionals. More and more recruiters use it as their main tool for finding candidates (so-called headhunting).

Optimizing your profile for LinkedIn search means placing the right keywords in your headline, your summary and the descriptions of your work experience.

A professional profile photo, a background image and actively building your network significantly increase your chances of receiving an interesting job offer.

Key tips:

  • Write a precise headline: put your specialization and keywords there instead of "looking for new challenges".
  • Write a professional summary: describe your experience and goals in a few sentences in the About section.
  • Collect recommendations: ask former colleagues and managers to write a recommendation on your profile.
  • Set your status to open to work: turn on the Open to Work option that recruiters can see.
