Now, more than ever, our online presence matters. Using technology to communicate with one another, both professionally and personally, has become the natural way in which we operate. Greeting cards and postage stamps are gathering dust on the retail shelves, and no one actually remembers a phone number anymore. Everything is programmed into our devices, and we use those devices to connect with one another at the touch of a button in a matter of seconds.

 

With this current atmosphere in mind, your job search should be changing accordingly. Gone are the days when attending job fairs and rubbing elbows with CEOs were the most influential forms of networking. Although such opportunities still exist, they are greatly overshadowed by the power and ease of online outreach strategies. You can now get your foot in the door of your companies of choice with just one email. Better still, LinkedIn provides you with the chance to connect with dozens of legitimate potential job opportunities in just a few clicks.

 

LinkedIn is stronger than it has ever been, and it has totally revolutionized the job market and the many processes involved. Instead of the job seeker bearing all of the responsibility of assembling their portfolio and sending it out to various parties, the hiring manager actually does some of the work, too. The job candidate might pour as much time into their LinkedIn profile as they previously would have into their resume and cover letter combined. Keeping a thorough and current record of your work potential and pertinent accolades can pique the interest of a curious recruiter and bring job potential that was virtually invisible before.

 

The power of your potential through LinkedIn, however, can only be as successful as you allow it to be. If you do not put the time and effort into developing yourself appropriately, then you will not reap the benefits of being noticed and pursued by the key hiring managers in your field. At Platinum Resumes, we work with many clients, such as yourself, who are ready to get serious about amping up their job game. In addition to writing resumes and conducting interview coaching, we enjoy working with clients to perfect their presence on LinkedIn.

 

We know that having a solid and refined profile will help attract more job potential, and we want to use our expertise to portray the best and most marketable version of yourself. Give us a call today!
