Attention Cyber Security Job Hunters! ⚠️
You’re competing with thousands of people on LinkedIn.
Here are 6 simple ways you can rocket your profile into the top 1% and attract more jobs:
1/ First impressions - profile picture
You simply need to look somewhat professional and approachable.
1. Consider using Photofeeler.com
2. Look for inspiration and re-create what you like
3. A smile would be great
4. Remove clutter for a simple/clean background
2/ Game Cyber Security Keywords
Become more discoverable. Recruiters / hiring managers search for keywords.
1.Search for your desired security job
2.Note key words across positions
3.Add the top 10 skills to your profile
Simple!
3/ Nail the 'About section'
It's all they have to go off.
Do this:
1. Keep it short - reference exp, years in the industry, and how you deliver value
2. Bullet the top 3-5 projects you’re most proud of
3. Sprinkle in those keywords
4. If you lack exp. list learning and value
4/ Show your worth!
The featured section is your chance to flex and build on the about section.
This is the place for any articles, posts, or videos you’ve created.
If you don’t have any, you’ve just found a gap you can work on – create content and rise above the 99%
5/ Complete the Skills section!
I used to think these were nonsense, but LinkedIn ranks users based on it.
Do this:
1. Add a skill for each of those keywords
2. Choose the top 5 most relevant skills to your target role / field
3. Ask 5 friends for endorsements - builds cred
6/ Engage and support others
Simply commenting on others content can generate tons of profile views!
1. Make a list of creators in your target space
2. Authentically interact - no spam
3. Leave a supportive, valuable comment on each new post
4. Block out time daily for this
If you found this valuable:
- Follow @caljhud
- Drop a like / retweet!
Have a great day!
