Mass Layoffs ravaged through the tech industry as April & May 2022 saw industry averages reflecting 20,000-30,000/mo. Employees from companies like Netflix, Carvana & PayPal were told they no longer have a position. Here is what you can do to use LinkedIn for job search: 🧵
Run a Boolean search: Use the @LinkedIn search bar to run a job search ➡️“Hiring” AND “ Job Title you Want”➡️Sort by Post, People, Jobs, & other filters. This helps you narrow your search to exact titles and find recruiters to connect with
Join a Group: @LinkedIn has many groups that can be leveraged by jobseekers to find recent opportunities and events. Great Groups to join➡️Connect: Women’s Professional Network, The Black Cybersecurity Association, Career Fireside with Resume Badge and Premium Career Group
Follow Companies: Following companies you apply to may help increase your visibility on @LinkedIn. Some recruiters even only connect with candidates following their company as it can reflect interest in the organization. This also improves your algorithm visibility when applying
Turn on Open to Work: The OTW feature on @LinkedIn signals recruiters & hiring managers that you are actively searching for a job. If you do not want your current employer to find out, limit the visibility to exclude recruiters in your current company
Use Keywords: Using keywords on @LinkedIn maximizes visibility on the platform. You can utilize industry related keywords that are reflective of your skills and experience in various sections such as ➡️Headline, About, Experience, Skills
