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.

Prevent These Errors During Job Interviews

By Joseph Jacob


If a job finder is asked to come for an interview, it is truly an achievement of that individual because most of the candidates are not asked to come for interviews. However, getting a job is completely relying on the level of achievements he obtained during the interview. Most of the candidates don't succeed during interviews due to the various errors they make. If you want to qualify for a job, you must not create such errors throughout the interview. These are some typical errors you should not do.

* Deficiency of planning

"Tell us the factors that you know about our company". This is a common query you get during most of the interviews. You must respond to this query properly if you want to satisfy them. If you could not respond this properly, it will be the ending. Hence, discover all the facts about the organization, its records, and its functions. There are various resources available to get information such as the organization's website and its Facebook page.

* Inappropriate dressing

Different outfits will suit with different interviews. Anyhow, a proficient outfit will fit with any job interview. If you have any question about the outfit you should use, examine outfits of current workers in the company.

* Unsuitable communication

If you could not keep a powerful interaction during the interview either vocally and non-verbally, they will not choose you for the vacancy available. Hence, you must keep appropriate interactions and gestures.

* Too much chatting

Do not attempt to tell your whole life stories to the interviewers because they do not need to listen. Always respond to queries simply and easily without going to describe your answers needlessly. Do not tell unrelated factors. Always tell necessary things only.

* Unpleasant behavior

Some candidates keep their mobile phones on during discussions. Some candidates answer to their telephone calls while the meeting is being performed. Some candidates ask for beverages and food during the meeting. Some candidates ask to go to the bathroom after the meeting started. All these actions are unpleasant. Hence, make sure to avoid such actions because, they give adverse points to you.

* Providing irregular details

Sometimes, you may ask to complete interview forms prior to the interview or during the interview. Such forms may carry questions that ask similar information you have already given with your CV. Hence, make sure to provide the same information you gave with your CV. Don't provide diverse answers to the same question. Maintain the reliability.

* Demeaning past employers

Some candidates make negative comments about their past companies and criticize their flaws during discussions. Never create such errors even if they had such flaws.

These are some crucial things to remember about recruitment online.
