In this video, I build on a previous show to show you a simple way to build your LinkedIn traffic/connections and be more memorable.
38 Deadly Interview Mistakes to Avoid
Hi, I’m Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter and I’m back today with another LinkedIn tip as part of my daily videos about job hunting. Now, in an earlier video called Becoming Memorable on LinkedIn, I talked about changing your public URL from the ridiculous URL that LinkedIn administers when you sign up to something more memorable, easier for people to remember, easy for you to remember. The problem was, I forgot to say one thing.
And that is you have to commit your URL to memory, too. And I’m reminded of that because I’ve had a couple of guests on job search radio recently. These are people who do recruiting, both corporate and HR, corporate, and third-party recruiting.
And as part of their sign-off, how can people reach you? And I realized they didn’t remember the LinkedIn profile URL. So, I want to remind you folks, that part of what you want to do to connect with more people is give out your URL to your LinkedIn profile. And to do that in two ways.
One is conversationally. And thus, it’s important to have a memorable LinkedIn address, LinkedIn URL, not just simply for you, but for them. And number two is, and of course, to commit it to memory.
And number two is add it to your signature files and Outlook and add it whenever you send a message on LinkedIn, so that this way, people have a way of connecting with you. Making your URL memorable to you, and not just simply to others, including it in signatures will cause people to want to connect with you, because most people don’t do this. So, again, remember your LinkedIn URL, put it in signature files, offer it to people orally, as you talk with them, you will find that a lot more people are going to be connecting with you.
I’m Jeff Altman. Hope you found this helpful. Visit TheBigGameHunter.us. There’s a lot more there that you can watch, listen to or read to help you find work more quickly.
And if we aren’t connected on LinkedIn, send a connection request at LinkedIn.com/in/TheBigGameHunter. I accept connection requests from people worldwide, except if you look like a spammer or scammer, except if you’re a third party recruiter. Last point I want to make is these days, your LinkedIn profile needs to be exquisite.
It doesn’t have to be perfect. It has to be exceptional. Because, after all, where you use a resume to hunt for jobs, companies are using your LinkedIn profile to hunt for people like you.
I critique profiles. I’ll send you an audio after I’ve looked at yours. You can order a copy or you can order a critique from me, I should say, at my website.
Again, the LinkedIn, the address is TheBigGameHunter.us. There’s, again, a lot of content there. And if you use the tab on the top, you’ll see LinkedIn critiques. Be happy to help you.
I’m Jeff Altman. Hope you have a great day. Take care
