Hereâs the truth:
Recruiters donât just read your CVâwe Google you.
And too often, we find amazing candidates hiding behind quiet LinkedIn profiles and an âOpen to Workâ banner.
If youâre not showing up online, youâre missing out on being found.
LinkedIn is your digital shop windowâand when used right, it can do a lot of the job-hunting for you.
Hereâs how to build a personal brand that gets attention đ
đ 1. Your Headline Should Sell, Not Just State
Donât settle for âMarketing Graduateâ or âJob Seeker.â
Instead, use your headline to show:
Who you are
Who you help
What youâre great at
Example:
đŻ âHelping brands grow through content, strategy & creativity | Passionate about digital marketingâ
đ§ 2. Write a Punchy ‘About’ Section
Think elevator pitch, not autobiography.
Keep it short (3â5 lines), and cover:
What youâve done
What youâre good at
What kind of role youâre looking for
đŹ 3. Start Engaging
Visibility starts with interaction.
Comment on posts
React to updates
Congratulate others on new roles
These small steps get your name in front of the right peopleâorganically.
đ 4. Create Value (No, You Donât Need to Go Viral)
Post just once a week. Thatâs enough.
Share:
Something youâve learned
A career reflection
A small win or challenge youâre working through
Your goal? Be seen, be human, be consistent.
đŻ Final Advice: Be Visible, Be Humanâ& Be a Bit Louder Than Usual
LinkedIn isnât about looking perfect.
Itâs about showing up.
If youâve got the skills and potential, donât let an empty profile hold you back.
The more we see you, the more likely we are to reach outâand fast-track you into the right roles.
