Tip: How to Use Linkedin for your Job Search
I’ve found a great way to apply for jobs. If you don’t already have your resume on Linkedin.com do it, it’s free. Network with people and tell them to do the same. Add each other to your LinkedIn network.
I need to add David Armstrong of Bounce whom I met yesterday. I asked the photographer who does my headshots to get his profile up so I can connect with him.
Be sure to get a short URL that they will assign, like: www.linkedin.com/in/newspapergrl - notice that the last part will be your linkedin username.
When you apply for jobs, put your linkedin profile on your resume by your email address. Put it on your cover letter or on your email signatures.
If I’m not working for myself, the ultimate goal, I want to work for the kind of company that understands and values networks.
