3-minute read

Are you looking for a new job? Do you have a well-written resume, but don’t know how to get it in front of the right people? Take out some of the leg work and create a space to be found by recruiters. Recruiters aren’t just waiting for people to apply; they are proactively looking through platforms such as LinkedIn or through resume databases. Here’s what you need to know about making your resume searchable and getting found.

Creating an Account on LinkedIn and Indeed

It is important to create accounts on both LinkedIn and Indeed. Both are powerful resources that allow recruiters to find potential candidates among millions of other professionals. When creating an account, make sure that all information is accurate, up-to-date, and professional. Your profile should reflect who you are as a professional, not just as an individual. With a completed profile, employers will easily be able to identify if you have the qualifications they are looking for in their next hire.

Making Your Resume Searchable

Now that your profile is complete, it is time to make your resume searchable. On both LinkedIn and Indeed, employers can use keywords when searching for potential candidates with specific qualifications or experience. Make sure that your resume includes any relevant keywords so that employers can find you easier when searching through these platforms’ databases. Additionally, including certain phrases like “highly motivated” or “team player” can help your resume stand out from others who may have similar qualifications but without these keywords included in their resumes.

Networking Within Platforms

Networking within these platforms is also essential when making yourself more visible to recruiters. Connect with people within various industries that interest you or reach out directly to companies that could benefit from your skillset and experience level. This will open up further opportunities for you and establish relationships with key decision-makers or supervisors within those organizations who might reach out at some point if an opening becomes available at their company or workplace.

At the end of the day, making yourself more visible through resources like LinkedIn and Indeed is essential when seeking new employment opportunities. It helps take out some of the leg work associated with job hunting by allowing employers to find you easily through targeted searches in addition to being able to review an overview of your experience level prior to contacting you regarding potential openings available within their organization or workplace. Utilize these tools today!
