Top 3 Tips on Using LinkedIn to Land a Job

Best Tips on how to use LinkedIn to Find a Job
LinkedIn is a great place to connect with other professionals and find jobs. I have personally been able to find jobs through LinkedIn and today I want to share my tips on how to best do that!
Recruiter Template:
"Hi (Recruiter). My name is (Name) and I’m a (Title). If you have a second, I would love the chance to discuss how my (Specific Skill) and experiences might match the (Job Title) that I saw posted on LinkedIn. Thanks for connecting and I hope you have a great day!"
Referral Template:
"Hello (Person's First Name). My name is (Name) and I saw there was a job opening at your company for a (Job Title) position. I believe I would be a great fit and would love it if you would be able to be a referral for the position. I've attached my resume so you can see some of my skills and experience. Thank you so much for taking the time to help!"

Hi Alex, It's unbelievable...Just 2 days back I had updated the skills in my linkedin profile as you had suggested in this video, to align to a Data Analyst profile. It's as though you read my mind or rather I read your mind ☺️. Thanks for the other tips regarding the recruiter and referrals. A big thanks for all your efforts 👍

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

Haha sounds like you were just ahead of the game! Keep up the good work! 😁

[@bane2256]

[@denilsonalmeida1221]

Thank you Alex for these gems you keep dropping. More blessings to you and your family!

[@BummerSlug]

Late finding this but I had to mention how amazing it is that you put a template email. I can see that being the most difficult thing for some people. That you took the time to include the template speaks to your character.

[@HienNguyen-we5cy]

Hi Alex, this video is extremely helpful. Thanks for the time and effort that you put on it. And it's absolutely thoughtful of you to leave the templates on the description!

[@finnjameson7844]

Thanks for putting the actual numbers of success rate, helps to be less discouraging and understand the playing field

[@ushasribhogaraju8895]

[@zink1150]

Great video Alex, thanks for sharing with us such good informations!

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@mountainbuttons]

Does anyone else find it alarming that, at best, we can only expect to hear back from 10% of our efforts? It seems to me that the entire system of recruitment/hiring needs a better model, especially in the tech sector.

[@lalubabu2837]

पीएम

[@alessandroardu1059]

The comic thing is that we always hear that in this sector (computer/data science) there is too much supply with respect to the demand, but actually you see even 125 candidates only on LinkedIn for a single job and you learn that without writing and searching casually for references you have 0.04% of possibility of getting hired. Wonderful.

[@michaelakinyemi4440]

Exactly its very demoralizing

[@Juan_deep]

Its all bs if you r white or asian thats a plus yall dont know how privelege yall are. U think the job search is hard try being a minority! but it all comes down if you have connections or not if you yt w no connections no mommy and daddy support no privilege networks then u basically on the same boat as us too

[@ivanalvarez5427]

Very good tips, thank you!!!

[@ArtourA]

This is a good guy. Deserves a like.

[@trianandawiradhika5001]

Hey Alex, really appreciate you taking the time out to share these valuable tips with us fellow job seekers. New subscriber here to your channel! When someone agrees to be a referral who already works at the company, can you explain in more detail how to then use that referral when you apply for a job at the company?

Thank you Alex 😄❤️

[@ProMethod2]

Your tips helped me get my first analyst job! Thanks!

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

Awesome!! Congratulations!!!

[@yogamayaa]

Hello Alex, I appreciate your valuable input. Typically, entry-level data analyst positions often demand around 2-3 years of relevant work experience. However, when it comes to including open data projects in my portfolio/resume, it becomes challenging to quantify their impact since actionable steps cannot be taken based on the insights. How should I approach this situation?

[@aliciaa3169]

This was very helpful Alex. Thanks so much.

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

You're very welcome!

[@AnglBunny]

Alex you are the kindest soul on the planet for all the effort you put into making these videos to help others on the internet get jobs and become financially stable 🙏😭💕

[@armi1353]

[@emilymicheals8371]

Update??

[@andrewm_.]

Here’s another good one! This is gem!

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

Haha great to hear! :D

[@Gabriellaella23]

Its so great to finally see this video. I had this saved for a while and I have been following and watching your other videos so I went to linkedin to follow you and ended accidentally trying to connect with this fake account. I was scared it was a scammer or something. haha Glad to know you were just using it as a dummy profile. Anyways, I have followed your tips and added an Excel badge today. I hope I am able to find a job soon!

[@prasathj7436]

[@jstev4506]

Where do you recommend searching for a data analyst job as a newbie? I have a degree and have been in the workforce for quite some time so when looking for a DA position should I use search terms like “entry level data analyst”? Just wondering how to get the most relevant results. Any recommendations on companies that hire entry level remote DA’s?

[@AsukJ7962]

Thank you so much🙆🏻‍♂️

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching! 😁

[@alexs.2221]

Thanks man

[@thechickenwhoflew]

Great video! Do you know any good examples for what a great data scientist resume should look like? Thanks

You're most welcome!

[@Poem_AI]

Respect !

[@abhishekpanthangi8878]

nice video

[@luzfelpemaia5793]

You’re the man! Do you think the reaching out for referrals strategy works well for interns as well? Since I don’t have prior experience in the field.

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

I definitely think it would be helpful. If you have a company you’re interested in you can always reach out to recruiters and ask if they’re taking interns. You can even suggest being their first intern! Haha

[@annec6274]

i struggle to determine why i want to help a big company make even more money, alex. could you put out a video about nonprofits, small businesses (!!!!)? i want your advice about applying my mind (because that is what data analytics most requires) to other areas of life, outside of corporations.

[@HEBREWSTEN22]

Nice.

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

😁

[@EmRomanKhan]

What a coincidence, I am also sesrching for the data analyst job at Chicago.

[@yisongchen9721]

Good morning Alex!

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

Good Morning!

[@Avi-lw4mn]

Alex, if we apply to job present on linkedin for xyz company, there is no option to apply referral. So should I talk to relevant person(step 2) from xyz to take forward my resume to his company's so that I can get a referral or I have to take that referral and apply on my own on their portal?

[@blessyponnachen9528]

I have a question, how to explain or showcase skills in the resume? Should I differentiate technical skills and general skills?

[@vegahvegah2053]

Hi Alex. What if the job you do at the moment doesn't have any relation which the job you are applying for?

[@Mahshadn]

Great content! thank you Alex. But the thing is there will be just a fraction of recruiters that would reply back to you which is demotivating [at least for me lol]

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

It definitely can be demoralizing and I know I've been there. It can definitely be a game of perseverance. You just have to keep pushing through and working the system!

[@danmitchell3758]

Im a retired school teacher looking for my next chapter. Im new to Linked In. Do you change the descriptors based on current job you are targeting? I am looking at tourism and various government job not only "data analysts" for example.

[@loverofYahweh]

Hi Alex, i find this video extremely helpful. Thank you, God bless you. Please i'd love for you to mentor me in my career growth

[@miguelmaravillas9967]

Great video! One comment. When I reach out to any recruiters it says I need the premium version of LinkedIn. Does anybody else have this issue or do I need to upgrade to the premium version if the app?

[@bondlavern]

Best video ever! (bve)
