LinkedIn Continued …
Creating clarity, focus, and thinking about your intention is critical in a job search and in life for that matter. LinkedIn now makes it easy to engage and attract favorable attention during your job search with employers and businesses.
The data and information shared by LinkedIn with the company about who is engaged very valuable. It is one easy way to be visible, to connect and to engage. I have always recommended creating a short list of targeted companies very early in your search.
Having a short list helps you with research, as well as helping you find tune your short list of targeted companies and your search focus. Using LinkedIn you can easily follow your top 10 target companies, and engage as you wish with each company.
LinkedIn receives over 50% of its revenue from its hiring solutions and 30% from its marketing solutions. They invest in ways to share information and create a positive engagement experience. You can leverage this investment.
Who are you following? What companies are on your short list? What can you learn from following a company?
Are you active, engaged and seeking out new opportunities or sitting on the sidelines waiting for the phone to ring?
