Why having a LinkedIn profile is essential.

  Why having a LinkedIn profile is essential. A LinkedIn profile is like an online resume.  You can share your contact information, career summary, complete work history, professional skills, education details, and more.  LinkedIn is primarily used to network with professional connections but has evolved into a job search platform.

How to stand out from the crowd when applying for work

  How to stand out from the crowd when applying for work It can be a challenge to stand out from the crowd when applying for a job, especially during our current economic situation. This can feel the case as there is more competition than ever with fewer jobs and more applicants. However, fixating on this will not help you, instead focus on doing what you need to do to separate yourself from the pack.   Five tips that can help you stand out from the crowd are:   1. Make a personal connection. Personally, address your documents, as this immediately portrays you as a dedicated and resourceful applicant. 2. Improve your application documents.

This will surely make the hiring manager remember you, but not necessarily in a positive light. Also, ensure that you include quantifiable achievements in your resume that don’t only tell how great you are at what yo...

It could just be that the circumstances warrant hiring someone who has significant and robust exper...
