how to optimize your Linkedin profile to get recruiters in YOUR DMs (no frills)

Welcome to ep. 4 of my layoff diaires. One of the hardest parts about a job search is spending time & effort looking for the right opportunities and applying to them -- it can take hundreds of hours just in this initial phase. Let's change that. The best way to optimize your time is have opportunities come TO you instead. Combining my insights as an ex-recruiter as well as being in the position of being laid off, I share my honest no frills tips on how to optimize your Linkedin profile to make your profile searchable and appealing to potential recruiters.

This is all so overwhelming. I feel like I just started out my career path. Being visible on LinkedIn is all so new to me

This has to be the most helpful video on optimizing your LinkedIn profile that I have found. Straight and to the point. I found your tips very helpful. Thank you!

[zeeshanshariff]

Fantastic guide. She speaks from a recruiter point of view and how can candidates optimize for maximum results.

[daedalusjones]

Good information. Really good, actionable tips. Thank you!

I would love to see another video, where you show us some more of what the RECRUITER's view/interface looks like, how it functions, and how they use it. The info you gave us about how the algorithm works, and how recruiters are able to search/filter candidates, is great.

This is very specific with great recommendations, thank you! I often get people on LI pitching me to do business with them and I don't know them. No indication of any interest in what I do other than them making money for things I'm clearly not interested in. For example, getting a pitch for paid help to get my "first book published" when I have 5 books published. I have 500 plus connections and would like to grow more and be attractive to people coming to me for reasons other than pitching me on their new business ideas which are like spam to me as I don't know their work. Suggestions? You do have wonderful advice and I'm impressed with your style and content.

Thanks for the tips, been applying for jobs in LinkedIn for 4 months without any calls or interview and applied for more than 200 jobs till now. Hope things get better after following the optimization techniques.

This video was so effective, congratulations! It's rare to find a YouTube channel that gets straight to the point, and doesn't treat the audience like robots. Or see the audience only as possible customers. congratulations!

[maximizedmoney]

Simple and easy to follow. Thank you! I used to get a ton of hits but it has slowed down a little due to increased competition. I’ll def be updating my LI this week.

This was so helpful, thank you and thank you again. Post new videos; you are doing great. I will come back for more. ❤

[latoyagriffin]

Thanks for the video! My profile contains most of the aspects you suggested already. I get really frustrated when recruiters approach me about positions that obviously don’t fit within my field or qualifications, which has been happening a lot lately. ☹️
