Review the parts hiring teams can see
Check your headline, experience dates, skills and contact information. Explain the work you did and include results you can discuss. If you have a portfolio, make sure each link is public where intended. Review how visibility settings affect the information you share before opening your profile to broader searches.
- Create saved searches for a few job titles and locations.
- Review the visibility choices before using Open to Work.
- Add applications to your tracker even when you applied through a company site.
Use the network thoughtfully
Follow employers you are researching and take note of what they publish about their work. Connect with people you know and explain the context when sending a new request. If a message asks for sensitive information, verify the employer and recruitment process on an official channel.
When a saved search repeatedly returns irrelevant vacancies, adjust one filter at a time. Try a related title, a different radius or the skill employers use in place of the job title.
