If you want to be starred and make your stand among those millions, if you want to be searched first among the crowd it's inevitable to build a Rockstar profile. Your profile will be the means to market your talent and get you in the hands of the companies.
The recruiters are really very busy piping into someone's account for more than 10 minutes of their time. They rarely spend 7 minutes to find the qualities they require and within that 7 minutes you have to grab their attention, encouraging them to spend more of their precious time knowing about you. So it's necessary that you keep your LinkedIn account up to date to get yourself searched among the largest crowds. Below are some of the tips that will help you build a Rockstar profile:
- Your Headshot: As per the research statistics it is clear that LinkedIn’s internal data depicts that profiles with headshots are 21 times more likely to be viewed than the ones without headshots. Your profile picture should depict the professional skills and attitude in you.
- Your Headline/Title: This is the most important part which works as a glowing star if filled properly with all the decorative words about what you are, what you have and how you can be helpful to your connections. After your profile recruiters have a glance at your title which then further encourages them to move further and spend some more time knowing about you. You can also add the current working title you are sharing which will improve your branding with specific recruiters.
- About Yourself: You have to present yourself with a buyer-centric mindset. In this area you specifically need to express your achievements, goals, accomplishments, interest areas, everything that will describe you and your talent more clearly, looking at which the recruiters will not have to give a second thought whether to hire your or not.
- Experience: Companies before hiring do look at your experience in that respective field, what you know, how much you know, and what you have excelled. This brings confidence in both the employer and the employee; hence you should keep it updated as well.
- Recommendations: Another important factor after being employed somewhere is the extent to which you have fulfilled the requirements of the company and how far you have excelled in your work within those stipulated time. The stakeholders or the employers writing on a piece of paper of how they enjoyed working with you and how you brought success to the company will bring the chances of you being employed in some other company of respective field to its peak.
- Education: Showcasing all the certificates you own during your entire student life whether it be academics or extracurricular will add glitters to the profile. Every small course or training you attended and feel like not worthy to share should also be taken care of because it can result in the keyword someone is searching for.
