In the last part of our series on the LinkedIn platform, we discussed why it\u2019s important to be active on LinkedIn as a user. There are a few steps you can take to ensure your success and effectively present your personal brand on this platform.<\/p>\n

One of them is a properly completed personal profile. Your dream job (check our latest job offers<\/a>) may suddenly be within your reach, as many Czech and Slovak recruiters are now active on this social network. This also creates an excellent opportunity to search for a job on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n

How to find a job on LinkedIn<\/h2>\n

The LinkedIn platform<\/a> is an excellent tool for job hunting. It can help you find potential employers in your field, as well as specific LinkedIn job offers<\/strong> from top companies on LinkedIn. In this article, we’re going to give you some tips and tricks on how to work with LinkedIn profile marketing<\/strong> and find a job through the LinkedIn platform<\/strong>..
\nA user’s LinkedIn profile<\/a> is divided into several sections \u2013 the header, profile, summary, work experience, education, and even recommendations or references from employers and colleagues. If you fill out your profile completely, LinkedIn will mark it with a virtual \u201cAll-Star\u201d badge (a label for top profiles). This means, among other things, that you\u2019ll be more visible to other users.<\/p>\n

We believe you already understand what LinkedIn is, you\u2019ve completed your LinkedIn registration, and you know how to use LinkedIn. So let\u2019s go over how you should fill out each section of your profile.<\/p>\n

LinkedIn personal profile header<\/h2>\n

This includes your name, your LinkedIn profile photo<\/strong>, a cover photo (also known as a LinkedIn background image<\/strong>) and a motto in the form of LinkedIn profile tagline<\/strong>. Always include your name on LinkedIn without titles, whether academic or of nobility. This is because titles are not commonly used abroad, especially in online presentations. This practice is not unique to LinkedIn. It is the carefully completed profile information that will ultimately speak volumes about your qualities.<\/p>\n\n

\n We recommend: <\/div>\n <\/p>\n

…create a LinkedIn cover photo<\/strong>.
\nAt least 60 percent of your LinkedIn profile photo<\/strong> should be filled with your face, so everyone can see who they’re actually interacting with. Fill the rest of the space with a neutral background in the form of a marketing LinkedIn cover photo<\/strong>, i.e. an image that complements your profile appropriately.<\/p>\n

\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Many users don’t upload a photo to their LinkedIn profile<\/strong>. This is a shame for many reasons; for example, a potential visitor to your profile will not be able to match your name to your face. Your LinkedIn profile photo<\/strong> therefore forms the basis of your personal presentation.
\nSo if you decide to have one, choose it according to your target group and how you want to present yourself. Avoid selfies taken on holiday or in bars.
\nThe LinkedIn cover photo<\/strong> is the introductory photo that completes the visual aspect of your work profile, so it is best to include a photo taken in a professional setting. For example, this could be a snapshot that at first glance is related to your profession or a summary of what you do. You can also find inspiration in the ‘Professional LinkedIn Profile Photo<\/a>‘ article on LinkedIn itself.<\/p>\n\n

… can you also upload a LinkedIn profile video<\/strong>?
\nIf you want to upload a LinkedIn profile photo<\/strong> and follow proper profile marketing<\/strong>, choose the optimal photo resolution of 400\u00d7400 pixels. Larger sizes are also fine, but it is recommended to stick to the maximum size of 8MB.<\/p>\n

\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Let\u2019s take a closer look at your LinkedIn headline – the line just below your name, also known as your LinkedIn motto. This term often leads to a misunderstanding of its true purpose. The headline is not the place for your favorite ancient quote or life wisdom. Its actual purpose is simple: to summarize your expertise and skills in just a few words. For example, if you work in copywriting, your headline could be something like: \u201cCreative writing lecturer crafting stories that give your brand a voice.\u201d<\/p>\n

So how do you find a job through LinkedIn \u2014 or use LinkedIn effectively?<\/h2>\n

One key section lies just below your headline: the About section. Here, you have exactly 2,000 characters to briefly and convincingly present your experience, achievements, and strengths. Be authentic and specific. If you’re a programmer, mention how many years of experience you have, name interesting projects you\u2019ve worked on, and include any relevant coding tips<\/a> on courses or certifications you’ve completed. Avoid empty phrases, overused clich\u00e9s, or generic buzzwords. This is your chance to stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n

Work experience<\/h2>\n

In this section, also known as the LinkedIn r\u00e9sum\u00e9, list your work experience in retrospective order. For each job, fill in the job title \u2014 for example, if your profession is Java developer<\/a>. Also include the type of employment, the name of the employer, and the location.
\nAn integral part should be a job description<\/a> of the position you held in your previous job. Again, briefly describe what your responsibilities were, what you were in charge of, or what you achieved. For clarity, we recommend writing your experience in bullet points. You can also add external documents, photos, videos, presentations, or links.<\/p>\n

Education<\/h2>\n

Another section, this time focused exclusively on your education. Include the name of the school and the fields of study, academic degrees obtained, and possibly additional information about your studies (length of study, volunteer activities, and so on). Don\u2019t be afraid to also share your exam results, completed projects, or other achievements.<\/p>\n

All-Star profile<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s now follow up on the mention of the All-Star rating from the beginning of the article, which LinkedIn assigns to well-filled-out and properly managed profiles.<\/p>\n

To receive this rating, just follow the platform\u2019s built-in guide, which offers tips and recommendations on what still needs to be completed on your profile.<\/p>\n

However, you definitely shouldn\u2019t miss having a properly filled-out name, headline (motto or LinkedIn profile slogan<\/strong>), location and industry, a quality profile photo (also referred to as a LinkedIn profile photo<\/strong>), and at least two listed work experiences. At the same time, you need to be connected with at least 50 other users. If you manage to earn the All-Star profile rating, besides a good feeling, you can also enjoy the fact that the LinkedIn algorithm favours these profiles, giving their posts greater reach. You\u2019ll simply become more visible on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
