Writing a Powerful LinkedIn Summary


A LinkedIn membership, free or premium, is a must have for today's job seeker because head hunters are flocking to LinkedIn to recruit candidates for open positions. A significant part of the LinkedIn profile is the summary section. To get the most out of your summary don't reiterate information that is on your resume, but look for a different angle to flesh out the same background in two paragraphs. This part will take time if you aren't a wordsmith so don't be surprised or get discouraged if it takes you a couple of days to come up with compelling verbiage.
 
Once you have written the introductory paragraphs, choose three successes from the last ten to fifteen years of your career to showcase. Finally to round out the summary, include a closing paragraph. Let's take a look at a sample summary Linkedin you can use as a model.

Using Recruitment Agencies

By Louise Davies



Top Reasons Why Using A Recruiter Makes Good Business Sense

Finding the right staff can be quite a time consuming task, using a recruitment agency allows you to focus your attention on your business rather than on recruiting. You will also be able to spend more time with your current staff and train them and develop their skills.

Recruitment consultants have access to a much wider source of candidates who you may not have had the opportunity to meet if you had carried out the recruitment yourself. Often recruitment consultants will have existing relationships with job hunters that will be of benefit to you.

Recruitment consultants are often much more skilled at interviewing candidates and screening them as well as being able to retrieve references and other work history information.

Often a recruitment consultant will provide a monetary guarantee on every candidate they place with the promise that that candidate will stay with the company for a certain period.

When you consider the time you'd spend searching an interviewing, using a recruitment consultant is obviously much more cost effective.

If you do not really want to advertise that your company is looking to fill a vacancy then using a recruiter can be a good way around this. Recruiters often advertise vacancies without telling who they are recruiting for.

Often recruiters can offer advice on market trends, salary expectations and other staffing issues.

If you are looking to fill a vacancy quickly then using a recruitment consultant is the best way to do this. Recruiters work at filling vacancies with speed.

If you are considering using an agency then always make sure that the agency specialise in the industry that you work in. You will have a good idea of the sort of person you are wanting to fill your role so make sure you communicate this to the recruiter as well as possible. Try to provide as much detail as possible when it comes to the job description. If you are able to build up a relationship with a recruitment agency then you will quickly be able to fill any future vacancies you might have.
