When it comes to effective utilization, we will discuss the methods of utilization according to these three values.
identity
Using the value given by this layer is to improve your resume. Here are some less obvious methods:
Short link. By default, everyone's profile has a long public link. But with certain settings, you can get a shortened and beautiful version. For example, my resume address is Wu Zhongjie. The specific method is to enter the editing mode of personal data, then find the public link and click Edit on the right.
Display order of different areas. There are many different types of fields in personal data, such as work experience, education experience, medals and certificates. Different people, different situations should use different order. If you are a college student, you may not have any internship experience. At this time, you should put the project section on the school. If you are looking for a job and have a strong interest, you should put the summary at the top and write a precise description, such as "I am a software engineer, interested in machine learning in small and medium-sized companies in the Bay Area".
Photos. You'd better take a picture with a professional photographer. If there is no professional photo, you can find a more formal photo. But it's best not to put ID photos, because they are usually ugly.
Multimedia information display. Some areas support the display of multimedia information. For example, you can put your slide link on slideshare, or a paper or something. In this way, everyone can click on these contents and have a deeper impact on you.
Suggestion (recommendation). If your work experience can be affirmed by colleagues or superiors, it will make your resume very brilliant. Therefore, you can write a recommendation letter to you with the leader after writing your experience. I suggest that you don't send him a letter of recommendation and write an invitation directly, but you take the initiative to recommend the other person and then express the hope that he can write some comments for you.
insight
The value here mainly lies in interpersonal relationships and industry information.
Import contacts. Linkedin has a function that allows you to import email contacts. Previously, linkedin's function of importing contacts was criticized a lot, mainly because of poor design, which led to misleading users and sending spam. After many revisions, it should be clear now. There are two steps in importing contacts: establishing links with people who are already on linkedin and inviting friends who are not on linkedin to join linkedin. After importing contacts, people who have not joined linkedin before will be prompted to register linkedin.
"People you may know", an algorithm used by linkedin to guess people you may know, is updated every day. Of course, if you really don't know someone, don't add anything.
Paid service. When you need advanced talents to search, send inmail to people you don't know, and check who has read your resume, you can consider using subscription service. Any contact, any opportunity, may bring you an important turning point in your career.
Industry news and influencers. When your profile is perfect, linkedin will recommend some relevant headlines to you through machine learning. At the top of your news updates are those news recommendations. The more detailed your personal information is and the more times you click on the news you are interested in, the more you will like to push these news. This is similar to Douban Radio. There are many posts of industry leaders in Influencer, which are worth learning. You can pay attention to some industry leaders you are interested in.
