The LinkedIn site will walk you through filling in the blanks for your Profile, but you’ll want to think ahead about two areas:

Positioning Yourself

Just like on a GREAT RESUME, directly underneath your name will be a short headline of four or five words. More than anything else in your profile, these words are how people find and define you.

Are you seeking to connect mainly with others in your field and industry? Then a simple, title-oriented headline like “Senior Product Development Director at The XYX Corporation” is best. Are you seeking to branch out into other areas? “Leader of High-Performing Engineering Projects” alerts others quickly to the value you would bring to an organization. Regardless of how you phrase your headline, make sure to use keywords that will help others find you.

Be Clear on What You’ve Done, and What You Want to Do…

Whether you are an active job seeker, or simply using LinkedIn to extend the reach of your personal marketing plan, POSITIONING yourself clearly is the epicenter of efficient networking… just as if you were beginning to launch an active JOBsearch to implement your Personal Marketing Plan! 

When listing your past job experiences, use verbs as much as possible. Show what you’re passionate about, and what you’ve learned from each job. Consider listing “non-jobs” you’ve done, like chairing a conference or leading a panel.

“People shouldn’t just think of this as only a resume tool,” says this CAREERPILOT, “It can be a way to show color and breadth.”

The Church is located just north of Midway Road and the George Bush Tollway (190)… 4000 Midway Road, Carrollton, TX., 75007.  It is on the NE corner of Midway and International Parkway… The meeting is held in the Conference Center which is a one story building  just east of the main worship center.

This is one of our communities fine job search support groups.  The Careerpilot, Bob Maher, CMF, will be presenting his introductory core topic, Embracing the OTHER Job Market.
