Stand out with our LinkedIn Profile Optimization Service!

You want your headline to show that you are a credible member of the industry you are targeting. It should include important keywords and phrases. Include what value you bring to the table. Use language specific to your industry.

Showcase your hard skills and job title. Make it clear to recruiters not just who you are but what you can do. Don’t exaggerate your capabilities.

Leaving your current position blank on your LinkedIn profile will automatically lower your score. List the role you are looking for as your current job. Adding a job makes it easier for recruiters to find you, and your profile will score better when you apply for jobs.

To avoid misleading anyone, put ‘available’ or ‘seeking new opportunities’ in the company box, and state what you are capable of in the job’s description.

Probably not. For highly paid executives, being perceived as available will decrease how desirable you are as a candidate. Since recruiters are under pressure to find people that companies couldn’t find independently, they favor candidates who don’t seem like they are looking for a job. Instead, focus on your strengths, skillset, and experience you would bring to a company.

Having a compelling profile is about selling yourself. You want to make potential employers want you.

Yes, LinkedIn will send out invitations to people who are already in your address book. The site will also send two invitation reminders to everyone again later on.

The list isn’t segmented at all, so all of your contacts, even personal ones, will get the invite. As long as you upload only your business contacts, this can be an excellent tool to connect with people on the platform automatically.

You are allowed to send up to 3,000 invites per LinkedIn account. You can send as many invites as you want per day. However, you will need to enter a CAPTCHA for every invite once you go over 100 in 24 hours.

Once you reach 3,000 invitations, you can send a request to customer service, and as long as you aren’t a spammer, LinkedIn will grant you more.

All you have to do is click the connect button located on the introduction card. The best thing to do is to add a note to the recipient. The more personal it is, the more likely they will be to accept it.

Once you are happy with your message, click Send, and your invitation is on its way. Connections that are more relevant to what you do will accept more often.

After logging into LinkedIn, go to your LinkedIn inbox that is at the top of your home page. Click “Sent” on the left. Find the “Invitations” tab under the top navigation bar.

Find any invitations without “Accepted” by the person’s name. Click on the subject line of the invitation. Click “Withdraw,” and LinkedIn will stop sending invitations to that person.

You can easily send a message within LinkedIn to anyone you have already connected with on the platform.

Go to your LinkedIn inbox. Then click on “Compose Message,” then start typing the names of 1st level connections you want to send the message.

Compose your message, and then when you are ready, click send. From there, your messages automatically send.
