You had the biggest thing in your LinkedIn profile which was BITS B.E CSE with 8 CGPA so recruiters definitely gets attracted towards your LinkedIn

[@rijumondal6876]

The main things are the experience he had, my tips start opensource it's best thing a nobody can prove his worth

[@pratikpatra3734]

The fact that this is what you summarised from the video tells the reason why most people fail. Excuse.

[@muhammadansari7764]

@@pratikpatra3734 you are correct but some where that's a plus point in his linkedin profile and resume, recruiters look for top college students first I mean you yourself will not prefer a fruit that is less flourished than a fruit that is more flourished and gives more benefits. When recruiters want to hire candidates they apply filters on linkedin then all the top tier guys comes first leaving all those from 2 3 tier clg's so the real struggle is with t3 clg students

How to get interview calls: 1. Study at BITS pilani and get grade 8/10 2. Have previous work experience at, Amazon, Adobe, Scaler

The fact that you only got these two things from the video shows how you serious you are about your career.

@@ashishps_1 I have watched the video very carefully. The points you've mentioned is great. But college and work experience has the upper hand when its comes to getting an interview. No offense I have posted my comment as a joke but it is not far away from reality. And I guess this reality you have never and will never face.

one of your tips which you told to change linkedIn profile link to readable one, but I think putting long linkedIn link is little bit older, other than this you can hyperlink your profile. Hyperlink showing text may be LinkedIn/Ashish and url may be your exact profile link

sorry for the confusion, it's actually "turn off" the profile updates.

Your first tip is a little bit confusing. Share Profile Updates with your network is OFF by default. If the video you appear to be turning it ON. Other than that, great video THANK YOU
