FOR PROFESSIONALS

By

SOMETIMES, DEFEAT TURNS INTO OPPORTUNITY.Years ago, I attended a writers'

conference and pitched an article to a magazine editor. He didn't take it, but he was friendly, gracious and polite

Here's how to stand out from the competition

1. BUILD A MULTIMEDIA PROFILE

Build a visual profile and you'll instantly stand

out. This LinkedIn feature (called "Professional

Portfolio"). So use it to your advantage and show

off your creative work!

Elaborate on the areas that simply wouldn't

fit on a hard copy resume, like an odd job,

volunteer position, or success story.

2. GO FOR DETAIL

Whatever you do, don't leave the summary blank

or limit it to a few bland sentences. Make it

personal, while also highlighting key

accomplishments you don't want anyone to miss. 

3. WRITE A KILLER SUMMARY

.

You could seriously get a job

this way - I would know! If

you genuinely want to keep

up with a contact, then

connect on LinkedIn. Write a

personal note saying "hello."

4. DON'T BE AFRAID TO CONNECT

LinkedIn groups are a great way to meet

people in your industry and have a

meaningful conversation - which is why we

have a Faith Driven Business LinkedIn

group. Ask for help. And help others in

return - they'll remember the favor!

5. NETWORK IN LINKEDIN GROUPS

Give and people are likely to give back

to you. It's a chance to help your fellow

professionals, and it establishes you as

an authority.

6. GIVE RECOMMENDATIONS AND ENDORSEMENTS

These make for a priceless first impression.

The best approach is to ask in person or to

write a personal email sincerely expressing

what their recommendation would mean to

you.

7. Ask for recommendations

.

With all the options for LinkedIn fields to fill out

(experience, education, coursework, volunteering), your

profile can get really big, really fast! Take control by

making your descriptions easily scannable. Bullet points

can save your life

8. Keep it organized
