4. Highlight Relevant Work Experience
Listing your experience is vital to your LinkedIn profile. However, some of your past experiences may not relate to the career you want to pursue in Canada.
List past jobs that are relevant to your career goals. Focus on the workplaces, experiences, and credentials that directly relate to the jobs you want to pursue.
It’s also vital to update your current position. For example, did you receive a promotion, win an award, publish an article, or complete an innovative project? If so, update your profile to reflect these achievements.
Showcase your professional career, growth, and accomplishments in the Summary and Experience sections.
Newcomers often apply for many roles and seniority levels to test the job market. It’s an understandable tactic and a valuable learning exercise, but don’t spread yourself too thin. Be careful about the range of roles you apply for. The ‘Experience’ section in your LinkedIn profile should support the roles you apply for.
“Less is more” when listing ‘Experience’ details. It’s better than providing too much information. Include three to five bullet points that sell your unique achievements, seniority, and technical skills.
