the perfect instruction how to get anxiety depressive disorder.
The reason would not let recruiters to reach you on LinkedIn is you get bombard by Indian tech recruiters as an example. Those recruiters keep messaging, emailing, texting, and calling so much that it ruins your communication channels. You can receive like hundreds if not thousands of messages which makes it impossible to filter through all of it and it overwhelms you. They do the same thing with calling you and once they make contact, they will keep calling you back like every 10 minutes asking if you got their email/message. Those recruiters make it hard to find good recruiters and good roles. Often time these kinds of recruiters have really poor roles that want to lowball you and their clients tend not be great as well.
I feel you lol. I like diverse environments. If I feel I will be 1 of 2 black people at that job, I’m likely to decline. I’ve seen this type of environment get passive aggressively toxic quickly lol
@@LIVdaBrand It's not about diversity of the environment to me that matter. I don't care if my team is filled with purple with pink poke dots people. My concern is low quality recruiters bombarding me with low quality employers.
@@LIVdaBrand Whats wrong with working with people who are not black?
When a relevant req hits, you don’t just get one call. It hits the headhunters all at once, and they all reach out within the span of a few days. If you’re on one list you’re on all the lists.
8:30. unfortunately that happened to me. My boss called me in his office and told me a recruiter he knew tipped him off that I was looking and not happy. This was a recruiter from Wells Fargo. It instantly created a hostile work environment for me and Wells Fargo did not hire me. Fortunately, I found another position with a significant raise. NOT a fan of Wells Fargo because of what happened to me!
Yeah that’s very poor form from Wells Fargo.
This happened to me. After I "let recruiters know I was looking," both my client and my current company viewed my profile and I was let go the next day.
@@kevinbergman8532 This is insane. Hopefully, you've been able to find something else since? How do you explain this in an interview?
@@kevinbergman8532 Wow. The way I see it, they did you a favor. It's rare that I come across an upper-level manager who DIDN'T change companies at one point or another. It's ridiculous and hypocritical to hold it against you that you are open to other opportunities that might allow you to improve yourself professionally. Fact is, EVERYBODY on Linkedin is open to new opportunities, as that's the whole purpose of the website. That includes your manager, your company recruiter, EVERYBODY.
I'm glad you found a better position. You don't want to work with unethical people like that recruiter and your controlling boss.
Wow, I thought I had a decent presence on LinkedIn. I did not, but it is improving thanks to your vid. Thank You.
Thanks for the interesting and informative video. The only thing I would suggest is this: I find LinkedIn to be a little difficult to navigate. Each time you suggest a tweek to the profile, it would be helpful if you showed us exactly where on the site to do this. I just couldn't find where I should go to complete the tasks.
Thank you for your advice on LinkedIn visibility
Got my current job due to stating my opinions and writing articles on LinkedIn. Current CEO literally stalked me, I was sure it was a scam. Here I am, with a BOMB job.
Looks like I'm going to get fully set up on LinkedIn!
Great content on this channel.
What`s your opinion about the Open to work ribbon you can go for on LinkedIn?
So I guess my question would be: if it only makes sense to feature 1 resume on my LinkedIn profile, which one should I choose?
If I'm optimizing my resume to pick out the skills and experiences that would best appear useful for specific companies, then I'll likely have different documents. Same goes for cover letters and statements of interest, although those don't really need to be featured since they're more unique to an individual company.
Would a master resume be appropriate? So, kind of like a complete work history document? Similar to a CV?
For my optimized resumes, I'd be pulling from a master one anyways
Edit: grammar
hope that helps.
I am an older person looking for a job. If I put a picture of myself I won't get anyone interested because I am in my 60s. There is job discrimination and I don't think recruiters are age friendly. If I put my aging face on a profile picture I won't get any recruiters calling me. I have a nice profile picture on Linked In but it was taken a few years ago and from a distance, not close up. I get calls from recruiters because of my picture and maybe I am qualified for the job that is posted but when they ask to see me on Zoom they don't get back in touch with me. I had 3 interviews with a company in Austin and finally, the last interview the guy asked if I had kids and grandkids then told me that they have 20 year olds working there. I didn't want to work there. That was a red flag. I am not sure If I will ever be able to work again.
Thank you for the video I had done most but I think missed the most important one which is indicating that I am looking for a role to recruiters lol
I love your channel and all the advice you give, but encouraging people to publicly exhibit their resume is not a good idea. Private information should be kept in private, for security reasons. All the information that should be known -the career progression, skills and so on- are properly informed in the profile. You don't need to upload your resume to tell that. LinkedIn is about adding value, and that valuable content is the kind of posting people should be encouraged to create.
If you have nosy people in your life, such as non-friend acquaintances or estranged family, who want to know where you work or what city you live, and you don't really want them to have that information, is there any way to block them on LinkedIn? Or to make certain info only visible to recruiters and not the whole public? I don't like how the modern world of social media has us put all of our personal information online for anyone to see.
You can block everything, your visibily can be restrcited to your network connections only.
Thanks a lot for this! As a recruiter, what's your opinion on the "#open to work" feature on LinkedIn? Should I enable it if I am actively looking? I heard some point of view that recruiters and/or employers may prefer "passive" job seekers over "open to work" ones. I appreciate if you could shed some light on this. Thank you!
7:02 So, what's the protocol: is it OK to just screen those out and give 'em no answer? Or is that closing doors?
Because otherwise it requires answering each and every offer. Yes, it's not a bad problem to have, as a second before the video says ("You're in demand"). I'm just pointing out that, in such case, it's not as easy as screen out and move on.
Can a person load more than one resume? If yes...how many? I want a video editing or a voice-over position but I will take a cs position while I wait to land my preferred job. Thank you!
any tips on applying for an internal position within a company?
Which is the option to upload the resume?
I have been contacted directly by recruiters where they ask my CV when its already attached on my profile.
🤙.
Can a potential employer see your profile if it’s set to “Recruiters only”?
Yes they can if someone from that company's HR for example is marked as a recruiter.
@@eberronbruce1328
Thank you.
If a recruiter reaches out to me stating their name and “I came across your profile and your profile is a good fit for ___” what should I respond with?
Wait, how are new graduates suppose to get jobs if they don’t have the experience?
Internships and coops. :)
@@ALifeAfterLayoff what if we cannot get a internship? Most internships have 100+ students applying and 1-3 spots and only 1-2 get a job.
@@ALifeAfterLayoff like hiring strictly for experienced older people, don’t you think it can be kinda, off logically ? Even if someone is experienced how would that person be better than a hungry college student with a degree that wants to be with your company for the long term? Whenever I had experience and got a job I still had to learn everything all over again because companies do things differently. Hiring should be based on someone’s intelligence, motivation and potential, unless it’s a management position or senior level work. Why wouldn’t you think a student that’s hungry for success that’s intelligent with a degree, is better than a person with experience for a different company? Their probably gonna leave & ask for more money based on their experience and want more anyways. And leave. A student you influence and grow with your company is likely to want to stay for a longer time. The learning curb doesn’t even take a long time.
During college try to do an internship or something that would have applicability in the workforce. For example, someone wanting to "do science" as a career shouldn't have any trouble finding a lab that wants someone to do basic work like washing glassware and autoclaving cell culture media for $8/hr (at least where I went to college) and gradually having them do meaningful, applicable work as they progress and prove themselves. Some of these student workers progress to the point of being listed as an author of a publication, albeit the bottom ranked author. Ideally find one that pays but if you're in a field where "volunteer" internships are the norm then at least make sure you're getting meaningful experience and not just making coffee and busywork like sorting papers or typing words into a spreadsheet.
Other option is entry level jobs requiring little or no experience, do it for a year and then apply for a better job after you've proven you have the skills. I finished my year in an entry level scientific sales role, did awesome, and am now interviewing for specialist roles that require experience (and also pay 50% more). Of course, even applying to an entry level position you're still competing against others with a "degree no experience" background and probably some people with minimal experience so you still need to have an good "just graduated" resume.
@@inthebooks3947 I do think experience gets an undeserved level of weight in many cases but from a hiring manager's perspective this is the safe bet. They're usually not risk takers and someone with little or no experience is viewed as a risk because of small track record. They have to work with this person for potentially years and it's a safer bet to hire someone with a long track record of consistently being decent vs the minimal experience guy even if that minimal experience suggests an incredibly talented and driven individual. It's unfortunate but this is the norm in most industries.
There's "Open for Work" status, which is public. What do you think of it?
That it's public. If you have people that are from your company in your network.. it sends a strong message. Anyways, it shouldn't be sth negative, but every employer is different.
@ 6:35 - My linkedin profile does not give me that recruiter option.
Recruiters have wasted my time in the last 3 month. They don’t know how to read cv and see the skills I don’t have. My job search get me better suited jobs and I stopped answering the phone. Yes, that bad. Had I known I would have got a job faster I believe.
I could not find how to upload a resume on Linkedin profile.
Weeding picture on LinkedIn profile. I was guilty of that some time ago but only because it was the only picture I had of med in a suite!
Technically been using linked in since 2006 for an entry-level it job in the Dayton Ohio area after getting 2 A.S. degrees in I.T......and nothing! Maybe I should respond to that offer from Chipolte to be a team lead! #sarcasm
Get some certifications if you haven't already. Nobody is jumping at the opportunity to hire an A.S. or even B.S. degree holder these days. Experience is much more important, especially in something like IT that can be largely self-taught online. Also expand your search area beyond Dayton. Most people have to move at least a little distance for their first entry level job.
9:48
lol i have no more time to talk people into using linked in or even telling to fill out everything and become an all star
PLOT TWIST:

You shouldn't need to put you info on a social media platform to find a job.
I will consider doing everything except a profile picture. As long as I present myself professionally in the professional environment, either for work or for an interview, a profile picture should not matter.
It shouldn't, but it does. Having one makes you seem more personable. Not having one makes you seem like you either don't know how to use the website, or have no professional pictures of yourself
I’m not sure why so many foreign recruiters are contacting me about weird contract positions that require relocation. A lot of the jobs are located in cities that defunded the police and near locations where violent riots occurred.
