Karthik, should your LinkedIn profile match your CV word for word?
No! LinkedIn has a summary section use it career profile yeah just cherry-pick
you do not mean you you need to get the key key words key key words in your
LinkedIn profile do not make it as lengthy nobody so as a recruiter nobody
nobody and I mean nobody is gonna read your LinkedIn profile
just like they don't read your resume and if your first contact with them is
this the resume or your CV if they look at your LinkedIn profile which is
probable they're gonna buzz through it and they're likely gonna be looking
through it to see who you know not what you know got that okay now if your first
encounter is your LinkedIn profile and when I say encounter I mean if their
first discovery of you is because they proactively were searching for something
remember how do people find you the same way you found me I'm guessing there's
120 80 you on here that 127 of you did not look up and rule Acevedo you looked
up I'm having some resume problems and then this guy popped up and there I was
right that's what a recruiter doesn't LinkedIn they don't look for you they're
usually looking for project manager technologist database architect
Salesforce administrator and so on okay so they're gonna poke come to you and
here's here's how the mind works picture first first thing anybody looks at is
the picture that pops up it is every time so have a good one right like bang
we in the search results first thing I see all the pictures or not and then you
have your title headline that's the second thing then they click on it then
they open it up then your pictures bigger okay
then they zip down and they look through it then
what stinks about LinkedIn is your summaries not always expanded so
somebody has to proactively do that I mean at least it was last time I checked
which was not too long though and then they're looking through now they might
see some of the other things that you have attached to your profile so if your
summaries like this and then they have to expand it but like if you go to my
profile what are you gonna see you see my headline and actually a picture of me
is in the headline now for some of you that's not maybe not appropriate but
it's because of my business and then there's my fit my picture and they look
similar and then there's a summary that's compressed which you probably
can't see too much of and then there's a row of different attachments and there's
probably me on TV a mile walk Academy catalog that highlights the things we
have in the in the Moloch enemy universe a few other things and there's a suite
of stuff it is important for them to see that that stuff is not on your resume
but hey that's a sweet line it's like six different links and pictures and
things that dress up your LinkedIn profile you can put articles that you've
written there you can put LinkedIn articles that you've written there okay
you can put on LinkedIn you can do a long-form post and attach it to the top
if you want then you go into the articles you should have some articles
that you've written so that those are there and and people can see them if you
go to mine you're gonna see an article about how to fast track your career
change or something like whatever one of the more recent ones that I put out on
LinkedIn and then it'll go into the body and then my body is only gonna give you
so much that to me is the ideal LinkedIn profile that distribution and so you're
not putting all your bullet points you might put one little paragraph and so on
but I hope I hope that helps it that's a great great question very confusing
without a doubt
