Knowing how to make your LinkedIn profile and resume stand out to employers is important because you never know who will see your profile. With everything being more digital, a lot of employers use sites like LinkedIn and Indeed to find job candidates, making it necessary to take the time to make a profile that stands out and tells employers all the job skills you have. What I like about LinkedIn is that it is easy to use and it is easy to add your skills, experience, and certifications.
How to make your LinkedIn profile and resume stand out:
One of the most important sections employers will look at is your job skills section. It is important to keep in mind that you should add as many skills as possible that you have because employers often will filter job applications based on certain skills they are looking for. When it comes to skills you can even include skills you are currently learning to increase your chances of finding a job in a particular field. Besides having a skills section, employers will also look to see if you have a certification section. What is cool about LinkedIn is that it makes it easy to add a certification section and you could choose to list however many certifications you have to make your account more appealing. Below is an image of what the certification feature of LinkedIn looks like. LinkedIn lets you decide how much information you want to share making it easy to add just about any certification.
Adding certifications is important because it can increase your chances of getting hired or in some cases employers may need to see that you have the qualifications necessary for a particular job. In conclusion, it is important to keep your resume and job profile accounts up to date so you feel comfortable knowing you aren't missing any important job opportunities that relate to the job skills and certifications you have.
