\"Beltmann5\"<\/a>If you\u2019re uprooting your family for a job, you might be struggling to find a perfect fit for your spouse or partner. As a nationwide moving company, we see this happen on a daily basis and have worked with the experts at IOVMedia<\/a> to suggest the top ways people are using LinkedIn to help their spouse find a job and here\u2019s the round-up (please forward it along to them).<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Profile Makeover is a MUST:<\/strong>
    \nYou can scroll down to the rest of our tips, but if you don\u2019t get #1 right, it will all be in vain. So, first things first \u2013 be sure you follows a     basic list<\/a> of things that need to be updated in order for your profile to be found. Why not let your profile work for you, instead of the other way around? Sprucing up your profile also ensures prospective companies get the best version of your experience when they (inevitably) research you online.<\/li>\n
  2. ABC: Always Be Connecting
    \n<\/strong>Your network is only as good as its numbers. It\u2019s important to reach out to past colleagues, alumni, friends and family \u2013 connect with them online. It\u2019s important to connect with people that you actually \u201cknow\u201d \u2013 it\u2019s not going to be helpful if you can\u2019t ask these connections for referrals or endorsements. You can add connections by going to \u201cNetwork\u201d – \u201cPeople You May Know\u201d or by going to \u201cNetwork\u201d – \u201cAdd Connections\u201d and then connecting to your e-mail platform.<\/li>\n
  3. Keyword Your Profile (Naturally)
    \n<\/strong>What jobs are you looking for? Are there certain terms recruiters might be using to look for candidates? Be sure to include them in your headline, experience, and summary portion of your profile under \u201cspecialties\u201d or within your \u201cskills\u201d section.<\/li>\n
  4. Be a Thought Leader
    \n<\/strong>Post, share and\/or write about things that are hot trends in your industry. Stay sharp by following other influencers. Join conversations around topics that are important to your network.<\/li>\n
  5. Look for Connections
    \n<\/strong>When you find a job and want to apply, log into LinkedIn and search for the HR manager or a contact that you might know in that company. By having a large network, you\u2019ll be able to have a better chance at having a 2nd<\/sup> degree connection, which would allow you to ask your connection for an introduction, which may lead to a job.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
