I was recently posting about how 90% of LinkedIn profiles don't include any evidence of impact and lots of people said: "WHO CARES? My resume is AWESOME!!!" But here are the two stats you need to be aware of: 1) The # of recruiters who can see your profile on LinkedIn: 2.5 Million. 2) The # of recruiters can see your resume on your hard drive: 0. Bottom Line: Don't forget where your audience is... :) #careercoaching #careerdevelopment #jobinterviews
😉 Prompt: As a seasoned recruiter, please review my resume and create compelling, action-oriented bullet points for my LinkedIn profile. Focus on crafting points that showcase my key achievements and responsibilities from each role. Please: Review the accomplishments, and skills for each role Identify significant details that demonstrate my expertise and impact Create concise, engaging bullet points Ensure consistency in tone and style Verify the bullets tell a compelling story that resonates with potential employers The goal is to create a powerful representation of my professional journey that sets me apart from other candidates.
Your LinkedIn profile should become your passive job search. You never know when someone will be looking so have your profile where it needs to be - high-impact and 🔥🔥
People get found on LinkedIn every day Jeremy Schifeling - if someone chooses not to engage on this platform or have an impactful profile, they are missing out. And not just missing out on conversation - they will be missing out on a job opportunity. And who wants to miss out when they could be part of the conversation instead?
This is soooo true. Your LinkedIn profile is what works for you while you sleep. Your resume will NOT do that.
If their LinkedIn profile doesn't speak to impact or value-added, I highly suspect their resume doesn't either. Awesome is in the eyes of the beholder.
What do you mean by evidence of impact? If a resume is properly crafted, for example, using bullet points with the STAR approach, and assuming some of that information is included in your LinkedIn profile, wouldn’t that provide sufficient evidence?
3) The # of recruiters who land on your resume and are intrigued, then head over to your LI profile......and think 🧐 "Nope, I pass."
Reality is that if folks cannot easily find meaningful information about us in quick Google searches (which goes STRAIGHT to our LinkedIn profiles), we largely do not exist to the very people who are trying to find us and each of our value propositions Jeremy Schifeling. This is a great post and thank you sir! 🤝
Love this! I have heard some say that you shouldn't put the same bullet point statements on your LinkedIn that you have on your resume, but similar to how you have put it here, they may never get to see your resume if they aren't impressed by what you have on your LinkedIn profile.
This topic was my lecture this week with my Internship prep class (undergrad business students). Your resume is a targeted pitch for a job role. Your LinkedIn profile/presence is your comprehensive, ongoing professional story. A Resume tends to be relatively "static" - you update it at a point in time for a specific job role/application. LinkedIn is meant to be dynamic, social, and showcase one's professional journey. Both are vital in one's "professional toolkit". I've framed them in my course work as a way to "create your best digital 1st impression", as I've seen a lot of people focus on one and deprioritize the other (myself included...but I'm working on it :))
