The website is one of the main features for professionals on the Internet, learn how to master it.
Try the following: Connect to your account on LinkedIn and in the search box, enter the term "Sports". Press "Enter" and wait for the result.
The first profile will be displayed by Lewis Howes - author of "LinkedWorking: Generating Success On The World's Largest Professional Network Website" (LinkedWorking: Making the most successful professional networking site in the world - in free translation) and founder of the sports association Sports Executives Association.
"Who wants to be seen on LinkedIn, you must first be found," says Howes. "LinkedIn is a little like Google. The difference is that for aperecer on Google, people invest good money, what LinkedIn is not necessary, "he says.
According to the author, leave in a good position in search on LinkedIn, within each particular segment can be extremely advantageous. "Those looking for new job opportunities, you can expect a good ranking on LinkedIn to be found by recruiters," he says.
According to Howes, the LinkedIn profile can be optimized to appear in the results and it does not require much effort. Just follow the three tips below:
1 :: Use keywords
Generate a list of keywords that you believe are used by people who want to meet you on the social network. If you are a consultant, this list may be the words "IT", "consultant" and "consultant to technology." If you are a developer, the choice of words "developer", "java" and "open source" should be set. Howes suggests that the word list contains not more than three terms.
2 :: Complete Profile
Examine carefully every available field in your profile and fill in the gaps remembering to use the pre-determined keywords. The ideal is to get the title. "Try to explain that came in an impact statement," says Howes. After the title, it was the turn of the remaining fields. Pay special attention to professional resume, and the fields with information about his background and current occupation. In each of the nine insertions in these fields, Howes added the word "sports" once a sentence. According to the author, the inclusion of the word helps to better classify the profile.
3 :: Do not overdo
The idea to fill the fields with multiple keywords may seem tempting, but should be left aside. Keep the profile with professional look is important, and cram the page with the words to manipulate the system is not good.
