Improve your LinkedIn - Part6

SEO friendly

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. When doing a search on a browser, we are more likely to use nouns and adjectives. The SEO are therefore more focused on them than on verbs.

Be impressive
What strike to people’s mind are the verbs that describe action.

Keyword
Take psychometric test, like the MAPP test (Motivational Appraisal of Personal Potential), look for specific adjectives with: onetonline, find this particular category of people you belong to (like the Gen-Y slacher)

“Skills & expertise” section
To find the appropriate keywords that describe best your job, a simple way is to have a look at the other Linkedin profiles in your field. As well, investigate the job descriptions on job boards.

And the last but not the least:

Public profile
Now that you have built up a full profile, it would be a pity if no one could access it, wouldn’t it? 
- Go to your “settings”, on the top right corner of the page
- in the section “helpful links” click on “Edit your public profile” and make sure you open it to everyone.

Improve your LinkedIn - Part5

PARTICIPATE IN ANIMATING THE COMMUNITY #1

Networking
Join groups related to your interest. Participate in discussion, attend events to meet with people.

Be a LION
LION stands for LinkedIn Open Network. You indicate that you are open to receive connection request from people you don’t know. The trick is, on the other hand, to do a search of LION profiles!

Status update
You generate exposure to a large community: the 1^st and 2^nd degree of your contacts. It means that your status will be shared to your contacts and their contacts.  Make sure you communicate properly.

It’s a great “ice breaker” to start a conversation and engage with new people in your networks.

Trends
People will follow you if you can generate an interest by bringing out relevant and trendy information related to their business.

Be the CEO of your career - Part1

Take the risk to think out of the box
 We are all sensitive to stability in our life with having a consistent and well balanced situation that can bring us serenity on a bliss. 
However, "Going along with the crowd is rarely a good choice"-R. Branson and you will have to get out of your comfort zone to explore what is your true color.

The idea
You want to change this important part of your life. Let's face it: we spend 80% of our time at work. You have asked yourself what your motivations and aspirations are. And you identified that particular job as it would be a great fit for you.

Too late, you can not step back anymore; without living in regrets.

Become an Entrepreneur
You know what dream job you want to land. You know what it will take to reach out and prepare yourself. It might be a long way to go but you marked it with milestones.
This is your project and and the product to launch on the market is  ..you
