Really liked the tip on 'job titles'. If you use the ones from Linkedin's drop-down list, and not put your fancy company-invented title, there are indeed significantly more chances to be found!

It is uplifting and a breath of fresh air to see someone dedicate their time and expertise to help others achieve their dreams. Thank you.

That makes so much sense. Would be interested to find out how writing a Linkedin profile differs from writing a CV, what to write/not to write/examples etc. (For those that noticed I do use the term CV deliberately as I am in UK.) Would also be interested in more info on writing a contractors CV and contractor job hunting tips as opposed to a perm role... sorry I know it went a bit off topic.

Hi Andy. This is a great piece. Optimizing my linked page for recruiters and growing my network has been my top priority but I have never come across a helpful resource as this. Now I know it's all about growing my connections, writing articles, sharing, liking and commenting on posts. Heading straight to your website to check out some helpful stuff and share as much.

Hi Andy, John Schmit here. Thanks for the suggestions here but regarding your ideas for the 'dynamic side', I'm a little bit dubious about the amount of time required to create original content on LinkedIn. With the sort of things that I have expertise in, I could not create anything worthwhile in 30 minutes. I've read some posts by people who are slapping things up on LinkedIn, presumably to generate more traffic for their profile. Regarding most of these articles, I have found them to be so vacuous that it caused me to have a negative view of the author which obviously is not conducive to a future business or employment opportunity. None the less, thanks for the video.

@andylacivita

John, Interesting perspective. I think you can do several things to accommodate and put out a quality piece. There is absolutely nothing wrong with putting out a 5 part piece. Break it down into little pieces. Generate the content. Write one piece a week for month and so forth. They don't need to be long, but they should be valuable. Also, I would suggest spending an hour or longer if you need to!

Wow! the video is excellent in giving clues on how to use linkedin. Thanks Andrew.

I have never got a job via any job hunters. I remember only 2-3 times to submit my resume. My best way is via social networking. I believe that most of jobs in my area not real; they are fake or just posted for some legal or traditional ways but already the position already reserved for some one else. 2 of jobs I joined in the last 10 yrs there were no one occupied this position between 6 - 12 months & sure they need to be filled.

Hi Andy. LinkedIn certainly is a wonderful tool for building networks. I devoted the entire weekend to sending out invitations to connect. I suppose this is where LinkedIn really gets tricky. I received a notification that I am a "power user" and was subsequently cut off from viewing further potential connections (laughing as I'm writing this). Since it is the beginning of the month, I will now have to wait at least 3 weeks before starting the process again, OR pay close to $50/month for unlimited searches as a Premium user. Just wanted to share this. Thanks for tirelessly posting your great videos!

I could research topics and try to summarize them into these mini-blogs, but I don't see what value that content would provide; I wouldn't be presenting anything novel. Is it more about just showing that I've put effort into learning about the industry?

Sometime I will receive the message from Linkedin that my job application was viewed by the company or recruiter. And then there is no more progress for the application. Is that mean I am not qualified for the job? What are the implications that my job application was viewed? and what should I do about that?
