By George Dodson


Social media website are the most popular websites today and those that are on top of the list are Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and LinkedIn. Although these websites are quite impressive in helping people connect with each other from across the globe, there are only a few websites that can actually help job hunters in looking for their ideal job - one of the websites that have this option is LinkedIn.

Before anything else, you should first understand that LinkedIn is not any of those websites that focus on the job industry but concentrates on just linking companies, employers, employees as well as the common members with each other. If you're looking to find a job, LinkedIn would be a fantastic place to start looking as they have a good database of companies, websites and employers which are looking for specific people for to join their company or team. Furthermore, LinkedIn is free to use and one can find a job in it just as long he or she knows what she is doing.

So how exactly can you use LinkedIn to find jobs?

Using keywords

The same as how you would find jobs over search engines like Google, Ask, Bing, etc., you will also need to make use of keywords. With using specific keywords on your LinkedIn searches, you are able to come up with a specific list of companies, employers, firms, websites as well as website members that are actually linked to the keyword which you provided.

To be able to come up with the best keyword for your job hunt, try to think of the specific position, company, employer which you are looking to link to. To cite an example, you can try using the keyword "Paramount script writer positions" if you are a good writer and aspiring to be part of the film industry.

Connecting with others

The same as Facebook, Twitter and other social media websites that we have today, LinkedIn also boasts how it connects people with each other. This can also be an advantage for you if youre looking to find a job using this website by not only linking to people but also websites, blogs as well as pages where you can showcase your skills, talent and expertise.

Of course, if you want o be successful in connecting with potential employers you will need to make sure your profile is noteworthy and is simply impressive. Same as the ordinary resume, be sure to add on your profile a complete but brief summary of your work experiences as well as other accomplishments. Having to do this will be a plus factor to your potential employer and further enhances the visibility of your profile.

Regular profile update

If there is one thing that potential employers want about their employees its being prompt. The best way to show promptness even when still not being hired is through answering emails as well as messages as quickly as possible. By regularly checking your messages as well as possible job openings on LinkedIn you can have multiple job opportunities which can increase your chances of being hired.

You can simply link your device or phone over to LinkedIn if you want to get immediate updates. As soon as you have your phone set up and linked to LinkedIn, you can then be confident that you're on the right path to getting hired.
