Hi this is Jeri with Your Best Designed Career and in this video, I’m going to show you
very quickly how easy it is to let recruiters know that you are looking for a new position.
There’s a couple of ways to get there but the quickest and easiest way is to click on
the jobs icon and you'll be taken to this screen…come over here to career interests
and then there is an option here to turn on the setting that will let recruiters know
that you're open.
Now once you've done this there's a whole lot of options that you can choose to take
advantage of or not, I recommend that you do.
You can leave a note to the recruiter here if there's something specific you want them
to know.
This is a really good place for people that are possibly coming back into the workforce
after an absence or relocating--kind of those special situations.
Then you can also click here you have the option to describe where you are in your job
searching process.
I really think that it’s a good idea for anybody and everybody to always have this
option open because even if you're a passive candidate which means that you're not currently
looking for work you never know what job opportunities could possibly come up and you don't want
to miss out on any opportunities.
Next you can add your job titles and you can actually add in as many job titles as you
want to.
You want to add as many as you can so you don't miss out on any prospective opportunities.
Next you can change your location and you can add locations so again for people that
are relocating you can add as many locations in here as you want and they don't have to
be in the same geographical area.
If you're open to relocating anywhere then just go ahead and drop those in there.
And then you have the option to address how close to your home you want to be and whether
or not you want to work remotely you can just toggle that on or off.
If you're interested in full time, contract, any of these options, you can probably select
all of them and then you can add if you have preferences with respect to the industry that
you want to be involved in you can add as many as you want here or you don't have to
add any.
If you are really homing in on a particular industry then you can just go ahead and add
as many as you want or none at all.
Then the size of company if you're not even considering or open to working for a larger
company then you can always make your edits here that way you won't be contacted for positions
that you probably wouldn't be interested in.
And that’s it, that’s how easy it is.
Now if you need a little bit more help on LinkedIn you can grab my checklist just to
be sure that you’ve done the ten basic steps that LinkedIn wants you to complete.
Or if you want to do a little bit more in LinkedIn I do have a 53 page e-book that will
help you go through everything you need to do to get your profile set up as well as what
you need to do once it is set upon LinkedIn to increase your job opportunities.
I'll put the link for both of those right below.
