You need to have a strong profile and a well-filled LinkedIn, which is professionally designed and up-to-date:
- Add achievements and specific results from your work.
- Specify your main specialization, the fields you have worked in, the genres, and your main tasks.
- List all your skills, as they are often used as keywords in searches.
- Just in case, add alternative contact information in your profile description.
- We recommend filling out your profile in English, even if you are not fluent at an advanced level.
- Include links to your portfolio or GitHub in the description of your experience.
Avoid changing jobs frequently. Job hoppers, who have been in the industry for 3 years and have changed 8 jobs, usually alarm recruiters. Things happen: mismatches, layoffs, the market is currently turbulent. But try not to jump from company to company.
Maintain a social presence, periodically publish posts, engage in professional groups, share achievements, add recruiters to your contacts, and generally grow your network. Like and comment on colleagues’ posts, as this will increase your profile’s visibility.
Continue learning and acquiring new skills! Despite the fact that there are many candidates on the market right now, companies still headhunt experienced and skilled specialists.
Good luck! May you be headhunted and overwhelmed with job offers!
