How to 𝘯𝘰𝘵 introduce yourself on LinkedIn: "Hi" "How are you" "What security roles do you have open?" "Here's my phone number: ..." And yes, I've gotten all of these this week. Just one-line, cold opens. Instead... "Hey Ruby - I really loved your post about X and also graduated from X. I found your X role and have the qualifications you're looking for (list your said experiences quickly). Resume attached. Do you have time today to discuss?" It takes two seconds to find a personal connection based on someone's profile and separates yourself from an overwhelmed inbox. P.S.

What amazes me is that in spite of all of the headaches associated with job searching, including resume submission and other time sucking activities, some companies overcomplicate the process with new features that either hinder submissions or just fail to function at all... One company (ZoomRx) sent me an e-mail unveiling their redesigned Careers site, and none of the links work... Even if you go to their website, their Career portal links go to 404 pages... Greenhouse, allows you to submit a resume (with no indication of the need for a security code, as there is no field), but then after submitting the resume, sends a security code via e-mail, without a link on how to submit the code, to validate the submission... I wonder how many submissions were made through sites like these, that went nowhere because of the dysfunctionality of the process...

You may have heard it’s better to apply on the company website than it is to apply through LinkedIn. Someone recently asked me why, so I figured I’d share some insights with y'all too: 1. You can make a more tailored application (resume, cover letter, portfolio, and LinkedIn profile) as opposed to just applying with whatever’s currently on your LI profile 2. LI applicants can sometimes be looked at as the less serious/interested applicants, given that they’re taking the easy path to applying (i.e. LI’s Easy Apply feature) 3. The posting on LI might be old and/or inactive. The company website’s postings are more likely to be up to date 4. More certainty that your app materials are going straight into the ATS/recruiting system when you apply directly through the company website I'll add more context to this another time, but this is the gist of it!

Are you tired of the hassle of sending your resume to recruiters and hiring managers? Look no further! I've recently discovered how to make a new button on my LinkedIn that allows for easy access by recruiters and hiring managers. It even displays it right under my name! And that's not all! I've also learned how to convert my resume into a scannable QR Code that can be accessed directly from a mobile device. Say goodbye to the headache of sending multiple emails with attachments and hello to a streamlined job search process. #jobsearch #resumetips #careeradvice

Links on your resume are a shortcut for employers to get to know your professional experience better. While links can elevate your resume and add a layer of depth to your application, there’s a much-heated debate over the cons of putting links in your resume. https://lnkd.in/gPB2YZpF #cybercoders #jobsearch #hiring #jobs #recruitment #recruiting #careers #nowhiring #jobopening

😫 Sometimes #LinkedIn can be #buggy. Messages from #candidates may show as read even when I haven’t seen them. 💬 As a #recruiter who spends about 8 hours daily on LinkedIn, I advise #jobseekers in both active and passive search stages to #followup if they don’t get a response. Happens, it’s not the recruiter ignoring you, but LinkedIn’s bugs causing the issue. ✅ If you’ve replied to a recruiter and haven’t received a response, ping them once or twice. Manually checking messages helps me avoid missing great candidates. This simple step could ensure your communication gets through. ❓ How often do you notice LinkedIn bugs? #code2day #recruiting

I had a prescreening call with a candidate yesterday. He mentioned he was interested in a few LinkedIn roles but didn’t apply because each had over 100+ applicants already. As a recruiter, I can tell you that number can be misleading - it's NOT accurate. The actual number of applicants is much less. 💭 Many candidates won’t meet all the requirements or have the necessary security clearance. Don’t let the numbers discourage you ✨ Always apply for that role! You might be exactly what the company is looking for. 🚀 #JobSearch #RecruitmentTips
