Hello, everyone, and welcome back to my channel, Jennifer
Marie, where I teach you different ways that you can
make money online as a work from home a freelancer. So in
today's video, I want to show you how you can find hundreds
of remote jobs in any field that you can imagine using
LinkedIn. If you're not familiar with LinkedIn, it is
the world's largest professional network on the
internet. So here, you can sign up and create a profile
completely for free. And then you essentially add what is
your resume onto your profile, you can add your work
experience education, skills, information about yourself and
even add links to examples of work or your portfolio. So I
have a very basic profile on LinkedIn. But I've been
contacted by many different recruiters or people looking
to hire me for the different jobs in my field. So in
today's video, I'm going to teach you how to edit your
profile settings so that your profile is visible to
potential recruiters. I'm also going to show you how to add
job preferences and how to add the open to work badge so that
your profile stands out. This will put a badge on your
profile picture. So someone looking to hire something in
your field will see your profile picture and know that
you are open and looking for work. And I'm also going to
show you where to find search and apply to jobs and remote
jobs using LinkedIn. So LinkedIn is also a marketplace
for jobs and you can apply to as many as you want. Before we
get started, if you're looking for tips on how to fill out
your profile, I have two videos. One is on how to
create professional resumes for free. And the other is how
to create a professional cover letter. These are long videos,
so I will link you to them in the description below this
video. Okay, so the first thing you need to do is sign
up to LinkedIn and create your profile. Now I'm not going to
go over all the basics of your profile in this video, I will
do a video like that shortly. But today, I want to focus on
finding work and making your profile visible so that
recruiters can find you. So the first thing we're going to
do is go to LinkedIn, click on your little profile picture
here where it says me and click on View Profile. So the
first thing we want to do is make sure that our profile is
public, we're going to click here on Edit public profile
and URL. And these are my public profile settings. So
over here on Edit visibility, you want to make this public.
Now if you don't want this to be public, that's okay, you
can still apply to jobs. But if you want potentially to
have recruiters find your profile and offer you jobs,
you'll want this to be public. So I have my profile public
visibility on I have it public so that all LinkedIn members
on or off, LinkedIn can view it. And then you can toggle on
and off the things you want to be public. The only thing I
have off is articles and activity. So if I'm clicking
like on different people's articles, I don't want that to
be on my profile, I want to make it mainly all just
information about my job experience and my education.
Okay, so now what we want to do is click on Edit contents.
So this will allow us to edit sections and update our
profile. So really quickly here, you can add some
information about yourself. Again, I have to really fill
all this out. But I'm still being contacted by recruiters
on LinkedIn. Even though I have a very basic profile, you
can add under featured, you can add a link or add media,
add a post or add an article. And this is great if you want
to show examples of your work. And you can list your
experience your education, your skills, and click here
and add profile section if there's anything else that you
want to add. So right here you have a button that says open
to and we have finding a new job hiring and providing
services. So hiring is if you are looking to hire someone,
and we're interested in both providing services and finding
a new job. So if we click on providing services, how it
works is you tell LinkedIn about your services and your
work preferences, then you will get found in search
results when people look for services. You can also let
potential clients reach out to you for free. So let's click
Continue. And here it says services provided. So you can
click add services. And you can add up to 10 different
services. So let's say you're a translator, you can put
translation and that will be added here. Let's say
transcription that will be added here. Video editing,
video production, videography, graphic design, whatever it
is, you can add those if you want to browse you
You can click here and browse under accounting, coaching and
mentoring, consulting design events. There's all sorts of
different categories here. And then click done.
So here under about, it says you can tell us about your
services and what makes you stand out such as the projects
you've worked on or your years of experience. So write a
little bit about what your services are, and what you can
provide to clients. And then here under work location, it
says select all that apply. So you can put where your
location is, or you can put I am available to work remotely.
So if you want to work from home, this is what you want to
select here. Under client requests, you want to make
sure this is selected, allow LinkedIn members that you're
not connected with to message you for free. And this means
that people can reach out to you even if they're not in
your network. So then click Next. And then this will
preview your services page. So now you can click publish.
Here, you could let your network know that you're open
for business by sharing a post, I'm not going to publish
this. But if you are looking for work right now, I
recommend you start a post. I'm just going to click No
thanks. Okay, so now you can see we are providing services.
And now we want to show that we're open to work. So you can
click here, or click open to finding a new job. And this is
going to get us that badge that we were talking about. So
here it says, tell us what kind of work you're open to.
So for me, for example, voiceover artist, you can type
in something else. And you can put up to a maximum of five
different types of jobs that you are interested in and open
to. So here, you can say if you're looking for on site
work, so actually to go into a workplace, hybrid or remote,
so I'm just going to choose remote if I don't want to go
in anywhere. And then here under job locations, Canada,
and you can add your remote location. But this shouldn't
really matter if you have remote selected. And then here
under start date, and say immediately, I'm actively
applying for jobs, flexible, I'm casually browsing, so if
you want a job immediately, click immediately. And then
job types, you could look for full time work contracts, part
time internship temporary, so you can select as many of
these as you want. And then this is really important. It
says choose who sees that you're open. So you decide if
you want only recruiters or all LinkedIn members to see
this. So here if you choose all LinkedIn members, this
means you're going to get that badge on your profile picture.
So in ads, the hashtag open to work PhotoFrame. And this is
great if people are searching for profiles and wanting to
hire someone because as soon as they see this photo frame,
they know you are actively looking for work, so they're
not going to waste their time looking for someone who's not
open for work. Now imagine you already are working at a
current company, you don't want to put this, you only
want recruiters to see it because obviously if you're
connected to your current job and they see that you're open
to work, they're going to know that you're planning on
looking for another job. In this case, you would choose
recruiters only. And LinkedIn takes steps to not show
recruiters at your current company that you are looking
for work however, they cannot guarantee complete privacy. So
be careful with doing this if you are already working for
someone. So I'm going to choose open to work and then
click Add to profile. Again, you can start a post to notify
your network that you are open to work. And you can see here
that now I have this nice open to work PhotoFrame that anyone
can see. Okay, so now my profile is all set up so that
recruiters wouldn't be able to find me. But you can also
actively apply to jobs. So this is more of a passive
approach if you just leave it and hope recruiters will seek
you out. But I recommend applying actively to jobs
especially if you are don't have a job. So what you can do
to find work is click here on jobs. And here they have
recommended for you based on your profile in search
history, all sorts of different jobs. Or you can
click here under suggested job searches. You can also go up
here search by title skill or company. So let's say
translator and you can see there are 1000 results now
this is showing me all sorts of Translator Jobs in Canada
but remember we're looking for a remote job so here it says
Canada or wherever you are right now your country so
you're going to type in remote, you can see here
remote, it will have this little house icon and you're
going to click that remote. So even though it says Canada
here, it's still showing me you can see here all of these
different remote jobs. So there are
434 results for translators that are remote jobs that I
could apply to. Now here, you can filter this out, you can
click here under experience level, let's say you are entry
level, you're you don't have a whole lot of experience. And
you can click Show 157 results. You can also look by
company, let's say a lot of these are the same company,
and you want to check all of the different companies
available to you. And then you would just click Show results.
And that would show you all the jobs from that particular
company. And then to turn off a filter, you could just click
here and reset on that category, and then show
results. Let's try transcription. I know that's a
very popular job here on my channel, again, remote. And
you can see here, there's a 532 different results, a lot
of them are from the same company. So again, click here.
And these are all the different transcription
companies that are hiring, these might change depending
on the country that you are based in, even though you're
looking for remote work. So if you're in India, for example,
you might have different jobs that pop up. But these should
all be remote jobs. Okay, so when you're ready to apply to
one of these jobs, you'll just click on whichever job that
you want. And then you can read the job ad here. And if
you like the looks of the job, you can click Save. And that
will save the job here under your see sage jobs. Or you can
click on jobs and then my jobs. And this will show you
all of your saved jobs. And to apply, you're just going to
click Apply.
And in this case, it directly links you to the website. So
you can create an account on whatever website it is, and
fill out their application process. And it's probably
going to be different for each company. So I just typed in
video editor, for example, again, this is still entry
level, apply. And you can see that in this case, again, you
will be creating an account on their website. Now another
thing you can do is erase anything and just click
search. And this is showing me over 11,000 different results
for remote jobs. If you click on easy apply, this is going
to show you different jobs that you can just click easy
apply. And here you're able to just upload your resume
directly through LinkedIn. And it's way easier than having to
sign up on the individual websites. So if you click on
that, it will show you the jobs that has this easy way.
And you just have to go through the steps and upload
all of your documentation.
And then you might have to answer some additional
questions and you just go through and then review your
application before you submit.
Again, you can watch my two different videos on how to
create your own resume and how to create a cover letter by
clicking on the link in the description below this video.
So I really encourage you to go through and look at all
sorts of different jobs that are available in your area.
Whether or not you want to work remotely or actually go
into a physical job and your location nearest to you. If
you want to reset just click Reset.
