Make Your Profile Stand Out

Some talent acquisition professionals and agencies purposely scout out talent for the positions that need to be filled. It's possible you've received messages from these specialists asking if you are interested in interviewing for a position that matches your profile. To get these opportunities, it's important to have a well-designed profile so you'll get noticed! Here are some simple tips!

Add a high resolution, professional-looking photo
It's suggested to avoid profile photos with sunglasses or alcoholic beverages. Your photo should reflect your professional persona and personality. It should be current and a good resolution.

Be detailed in your headline
It should have your current job position and additional details such as which niches you work in or skills you bring to the table. Not including your niche may cause a recruiter to bypass your profile, and will make it less visible when recruiters search for it. Include keywords that correspond with the job you're looking for such as "retail" "creative" "tech" or "team."

Keep it fresh
Keep your profile updated and accurate as possible. Try to include the most important job experiences you've had that correspond with your current career goals. Post frequently and share updates every week or so.
