Finetune your LinkedIn profile.
If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, you definitely need one! When applying for jobs online, having a solid LinkedIn profile can help you stand out against the competition. Your LinkedIn should convey the right message about your skills and experience. Here are a couple of simple things you can do to improve your LinkedIn profile:
- Include a professional profile picture.
- Highlight your previous work experience.
- Make sure all information is accurate.
Use the right websites.
Now that you have your cover letter, resume and LinkedIn profile perfected, it’s time to find jobs to apply for! Websites like Indeed, ZipRecruiter and Monster are some of the best websites to find a job in a wide range of industries, positions and trades. However, you can also find websites that list open jobs in your specific industry, whether it be agriculture, finance, marketing or more!
Social media can also be a great place to find job openings in your area, as many companies will post their open jobs on Facebook or LinkedIn. If you are interested in working for a specific company, make sure that you are following them to get the latest updates on job openings!
Clean up your social media.
Most employers and recruiters check their candidate’s social media profiles. Set all your social media profiles to private, but also remove any pictures that are inappropriate or may send the wrong message to any future employers. A good rule of thumb is to never post anything that you wouldn’t want a future employer to see. Even if you have your social media set to private, there are still ways for those photos to get out.
