2 LinkedIn Tips To Get More Job Interviews

[@redkittycurls]

I thought there was a maximum number of characters for the headline. Would love to see a profile that does that. Any examples you can share? Thank you!

[@Workitdaily]

Hi Alessandra, great question. A perfect example is JT's headline: www.linkedin.com/in/jtodonnell/ - As you can see she separated out her key skill sets that she's known for with vertical line dividers. While there is a character max you should be able to fit at least your top 4-5 skill sets. Does this help?

[@redkittycurls]

Totally! Amazing how much she was able to fit in, thanks! :)

[@gaudenciarueda5928]

[@CrystalReneeMusic]

The 2 tips are: 1. Turn on the "I'm interested" setting. 2. Keyword optimize your headline.

[@Jason-ub4ui]

Thanks

[@az220584]

Got the opportunity to see the video after 4 yrs of upload..tks for the information

[@GrahamJonesJr]

Oh goodness! My "...Let recruiters know you're open..." was toggled 'No' - I've just put it to 'Yes'! Thank you J.T. for the help!

[@Workitdaily]

Glad we could help Graham!

[@ochicoloto3524]

Thanks for the video but a little demo will help a lot. I cant find the "I am interested" icon

[@chinkyfist6655]

It would've been helpful to see the learning points illustrated. Thanks for sharing.

[@ScottEngler1]

Great tips J.T., I enjoyed your delivery of them as well! :) You may have noticed this, but thought might be helpful to mention that in past few weeks, LinkedIn changed the settings so you can actually turn the "stealth mode" job search from your main LI profile, and not having to go into your settings and privacy, which most of my clients found confusing to find on their own!

[@Workitdaily]

Thanks for the tip Scott!

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Scott, that's super awesome LinkedIn has the stealth mode without going into privacy settings. Would you mind sharing how this is done?

[@sudipindya264]

Hi, If you could have included the screenshots..that would have been more useful. Thanks.

[@Workitdaily]

Thanks for the feedback. We'll consider adding them in future videos. :)

[@zainabahmad8173]

[@Mattea68]

I have noticed with Linkedin that to get the full effect there is a charge, I have been with them for 2 yrs and never had any luck landing any interview much less job offers

[@Workitdaily]

Hi Darren, we understand the frustration. We're of the belief that it's not worth it to pay for the LinkedIn membership. It doesn't make any difference when looking for a job. What does make a difference is your strategy. We recommend getting some additional support and coaching to help you come up with a strategy (for LinkedIn and more) that can help you get interviews and job offers. We offer a Premium Subscription that does just that, it also includes LInkedIn, resume and cover letter reviews. If that's something you'd like to learn more about please visit: courses.workitdaily.com/p/subscription/ You can save $10 off our monthly rate, by using the code KZbin10 (in all caps) at checkout. Best of luck Darren!

[@Mattea68]

been doin that for 5 yrs to no avail thanks

[@Mattea68]

yeah right, I am unemployed and have no income how would i pay for that? Besides i have done everything else for about 5 yrs(coaching-which turned out to be nothing more than Lip service at best) and still didnt land me any interviews etc

[@Workitdaily]

[@jvvallejo2012]

Thank you for the advice. I just updated my LinkeIn headline.

[@TheJusticefornone]

As an Administrative Assistant, I was wondering, what are some key skill sets I can use?

[@JessicaHicks]

Hmm. Most often these are what I look for, but it depends on the role: Administrative Scheduling Planning Coordination Calendaring Bookkeeper Filing I would look at the job description and ensure the keywords (any that apply) are included into your resume where recruiters can easily see you have administrative skills. Today, any technical skills and things that show you work with multiple team or levels of people help too.

[@snehalchikkodi7528]

I didn't found " I am interested " button on LinkedIn..please let me know any one know

[@mdsauravchowdhury575]

Very very helpful video, please show how to build a powerful CV, i can get job in any place.

[@cecarea6887]

Lovely tips. Thanks.

[@rhetta9826]

There is no "I'm interested" option in the Privacy settings (or anywhere) that I can see in the latest LinkedIn app version (Nov 6).

[@Workitdaily]

They don't make it easy to find! You should be able to access it using this link: www.linkedin.com/jobs/career-interests/

[@lr101fc1975]

Thanks JT, very useful !

[@superduperboyx]

Love your videos, thanks for making so many !

[@Workitdaily]

You're very welcome! We're glad you like them :)

[@gurmin9062]

Thanks for this useful information

[@CURIOUSworldexplorers898]

Hi JT, First of all, thanks for answering my question. Secondly, Thanks for all these grate tips, they are extremely helpful! I’d like to ask you a question with regards to job searching - if you’ve seen a job post in your dream company both on their website & LinkedIn, what’s the best following steps to do to get noticed? 1.apply both on their website & LinkedIn. 2.apply on LinkedIn and randomly ask for referrals from your connection. Many thanks

[@mariahadams972]

So if you don't have the job related experience, you can still list it as a skill in you headline right. The positions I want all have Marketing, Public Relations, Writing/Editing as skills they're looking for. I was an English Major. So I definitely have writing and editing skills. However, PR and Marketing I didn't go to school for. But I have held sales positions and youth director positions (where reputation is everything.) So if I put Marketing | PR | Writing | Editing in my linked In headline to attract the jobs I want, would they look at my resume and think well she lied? Or would they just ask me in the interview why I feel I'm good at these things?

[@aakashvarshney9210]

That's indeed a great video. Thanks.

[@dirtymartiniqueen]

Good tips. Regarding LinkedIn, how can the order of recommendations be changed and or moved to specific job section. Does it require premium?

[@Lookdownhereiam]

Great video. Thank you.

[@Grace-up5em]

For some reason, I'm still not getting responses even though I tried to put some skills on the headline. I would only get notified if "unknown" recruiters have viewed my profile.

[@markh2283]

So, you're saying to put as many keywords in your headline so you get moved to the top of the list? Wouldn't this make your profile/headline sloppy or to busy to read? I would think the simpler the better.

[@aakashvarshney9210]

Would like to request you to give an Example in the comments section or in video about the tips that you are going to give to your followers.

[@michaelcap9550]

What do you put as a "Current Position" when you are in job search?

[@LaborGains]

You can put "Job Seeking" Or "Searching for the Right Opportunity"

[@shahnwazalam4896]

Nice peace of advise

[@erkanozcan1981]

How important is a cover letter.. Can you get away attaching a CL?

[@merajulhaque9107]

Thanks for the information . But I am not getting any Yes/No toggle and 'I am interested toggle'. Can you please show or share screenshot where exactly I can get that?

[@Workitdaily]

Hi there. Great question. This can be found in under Account Settings in the Job Seeking Preferences section. Once you're in that section is it the 2nd option down. Once you click on it, a toggle will appear that allows you to switch it to "Yes". Does this help?

[@merajulhaque9107]

Thanks a lot . Got it. It was No, changed to Yes. I want to know how to apply for jobs in abroad and high chances to get calls

[@manojsinghkaintura592]

How we can know the recuter is genuin or fake.

[@Dowggdee]

Wow... she has 12 dislikes? She's too good for any dislikes (to me)...

[@luizamodorcea7986]

Could you please give us a written example? Thanks!

[@abdulwaheedshah3089]

Your so good and helpfull women

[@hithemnematalla]

I couldnt find "I'm Interested in" it is no in the privacy in my profile, can anyone help

[@mostafahafiz5459]

1- Click the Me icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage. 2- Select Settings & Privacy from the dropdown. 3- Click the Privacy tab at the top of the page. 4- Under the Job seeking preferences section, click Change next to Let recruiters know you’re open to opportunities. 5- Switch the toggle to Yes to share that you’re open and appear in recruiter searches matching your career interests. Switch the toggle to No to stop sharing your career interests with recruiters. 6- Your changes will be saved automatically.

[@malikawithyou2572]

Mam..I have gape in my career 5 yeras after marriage.. can I get job if I will try

[@ChanthiniButler]

Excellent advice on the saddest piece of information. Recruiters were thought to be representatives who are assumed to be there to help assist those looking for work, however, they turn from those actively seeking employment, seems unfair.

[@YourFutureEx]

Well when you have 100 people applying, why would any sane person look at number 99 on the list when the top 5 are the best candidates?

[@dalevandenheuvel3927]

I don't believe your first tip is available anymore?

[@kevinbergman8532]

Warning: Tip #1 is a bad idea if you're currently working. Some companies will not be happy when they find out you're looking for work, and - yes - they will found out if they want to.

[@admujkic]

You should show demo instead of empty talk. Hilarious

[@theoaristi53]

Most of the job agents in LinkedIn are idiots and know nothing. I have met one guy there who arranged me a phone interview with an IT company. Then they gave a test to complete which I passed. The agent told me that I will have a last interview with the CEO, and I the job will be mine 99%. The interview was supposed to be more about myself and basically talk to the CEO. So far so good. Then I got a phone call from them. Unfortunately, it wasn't the CEO, but another tech guy who was asking me technical questions that were completely irrelevant with the job description(I applied for an Android Job role passed the test, but I was asked how to create REST api with Java Spring). Of course I failed and lost the job, as I have never worked as a backend developer. It's like asking from a cardiologist to perform a knee surgery. Can he do it? So please don't trust these guys whatever they tell you and be VERY VERY CAREFUL!

[@georgemwesigye1455]

That was awesome

[@neskozivalj613]

i love it

[@uncman2714]

Jt look at my linked profile please and give me your thoughts. James c Ervin.

[@ashish11128]

This is crazy.... You cannot put video just to market yourself with that heading..

[@marie-pierrelebris1025]

Blah Blah Blah Too much selling and not enough content. I really do not like LinkedIn at all. And for the free 30 minute tutorial it is going to take you 30 minutes to tell me how it works?
