LinkedIn Tips

LinkedIn isn't just for office workers. Recruiters across every industry, including trades and mining, use it to find people. A good profile works while you sleep.

Start with your headline. Don't just list your job title. Say what you do and who you help, in plain language.

Write an 'About' section in your own voice. A few honest paragraphs about your experience and what you're looking for beats a wall of buzzwords.

Fill out your experience like a mini-resume, with real accomplishments. Use the keywords people would search for to find someone like you.

Finally, add a clear photo and connect with people in your field. You'd be surprised how many opportunities come from simply being visible.
