In this Itechguide, Victor teaches you how to use LinkedIn to find a job.
To successfully use LinkedIn to find a job, it is important to complete your LinkedIn profile – Edit intro, add a profile photo, add current (or last) position, and add your job history. It is also important to complete your About, Experiences, Education, and Licenses & Certifications sections. Finally, upload your resume.
Option 1: Use LinkedIn on a PC or Mac
- Open LinkedIn.com from a browser on your Mac or PC. Then, sign in with your LinkedIn account.
- On the top of the page, click Jobs.
The LinkedIn jobs page offers 3 options – Search, Suggested job searches, and job suggestions Based on your profile. For the last 2 to be accurate, you have to complete your profile. For steps to use these job search options, see below this image.
Method 1: Find a Job with “Based on your profile”
- The first place to look is the “Based on your profile” section. LinkedIn displays suggested jobs based on your profile.
- Beneath each job listing, LinkedIn displays the location of the job, when the job was posted, and whether it supports LinkedIn “Easy Apply” or not.
LinkedIn “Easy Apply” allows you to apply for jobs within LinkedIn – using your LinkedIn profile. To read more about this feature, click this link (opens in a new browser window) – LinkedIn Easy Apply: What Employers See When You Apply on LinkedIn.
- To read the details of a job and apply for the job, click on the job.
- Then, on the right pane of the job details page, you can save the job or Apply for it.
LinkedIn also displays some important information about the job. For more on this, see below this screenshot.
- Beneath the Save or Apply button, LinkedIn displays some very important information. From left to right – the first is Job. This displays how many of your listed skills that match the skills listed in the job advert. In this example, 6 of my skills match 10 of the listed skills.
- The next is company size. This is important as it will help you decide whether you want to work in a company of the specified size.
- Finally, in that section are the number of your LinkedIn connections that have applied for the job – this is not very important.
- To view the job details, including salary and job requirements, scroll down to the job details section.
Method 2: Find a Job with “Suggested job searches”
You can also find jobs with “suggested job searches”. This will only be useful if you completed your LinkedIn profile. To use this method to find a job:
- On the LinkedIn Job page, click on one of the “Suggested job searches” link.
- In this example, I will click on the first of my suggested searches.
- On the left pane of the job search results page, LinkedIn will display all the jobs that match the phrase you searched. The first job on the list will be selected and the details of the job will be displayed on the right pane of the page – see the image below the next point.
- You can view the job details, save the job and/or apply for the job.
- Finally, you can make the search engine to return specific jobs – use the search filter options on top of the page to determine the type of jobs returned. More on this in the next sub-section.
Method 3: Use LinkedIn Search to Find a Job
This final sub-section teaches you how to enter your own job search terms into the LinkedIn job search field. It also covers how to use the filter options to return specific jobs and remove the rest. Here are the steps to use this feature…
