How to use LinkedIn to land the job you want!

How you can use LinkedIn to find the job you want in Australia.

I’ve been blogging for over 6 years on how to use LinkedIn to find a job in Australia.

I am a big fan of LinkedIn as I personally have been able to use it to change my career, and apply this knowledge to help many other professionals looking for a job.

If you’re really busy and searching for a new job, LinkedIn represents a great opportunity to have your profile do much of the hard work for you.

The reason I say this is while many of Australia’s professional population understand that LinkedIn is a useful business tool (in 2015 there were 3.5 Million + Australians on the site), we’re not actually making the most of the opportunity that it presents.

My research shows that in Australia, less than 10% of people pay attention to their LinkedIn headline, or have a summary section on their LinkedIn profile that explains the value they can add to others in a compelling and readable way.

So if you’re looking for a role, even making changes to these two sections of your profile can help you stand out among the crowd who simply don’t bother.
