Tips for a Better

Profile

Do you want to maintain a strong online presence that highlights your career and your achievements? Are you looking for a new job? Either way, having a LinkedIn profile is vital to achieving your career goals. According to LinkedIn’s own figures, the network contains over 313 million members across over 200 countries and territories. Over 3 million companies have LinkedIn pages, and the most recent usage statistics detail over 5.7 billion professionally orientated searches during a single year. The best way to become an effective member of this vast network is through a detailed professional profile. This article presents 12 steps to help you craft that perfect profile.

1. Create an Effective Headline Start your profile by completing the headline. The headline is a snippet of information that appears under your name at the top of the profile. It needs to be concise and contain keywords relevant to your role and profession. Give the headline some thought since it sets the theme for your profile. Let’s look at two headlines for an experienced project manager within the insurance Industry. A standard LinkedIn headline would give your position and your place of employment, such as ‘Project Manager, Insurance Company International’. Now look at the expanded and more thoughtful version: ‘PMP-certified Project Manager, Insurance Company International - Successful leader for a wide range of international projects within the insurance industry.’ The second version is more likely to encourage potential clients, contacts, and recruiters to examine that profile in more detail. Consider how best to encapsulate your career in a manner that will draw readers further into your profile. 2. Write a Summary The summary provides a similar function to the headline although, with a limit of 2,000 characters, you have a lot more space. It also offers the chance to use a more conversational tone than in other sections of your profile. Describe your current role and how you approach your work. Then touch on some aspects of your career and devote a sentence each to a selection of your main accomplishments. Conclude by stating what values you bring to a project or organization. Make the summary moreVol.visually by breaking 20 Issue appealing 999 it into paragraphs with 7,a 2015 heading for each July 31 - August one. End your summary with a brief list of

your special skills. Once you have the headline and summary in place start working on the rest of your proﬁle. LinkedIn provides a useful ‘Proﬁle Completion’ box which lists the sections that you need to complete. Follow this list

3. Be Honest Resist the temptation to give yourself inﬂated job titles or to change the dates that you worked with a particular organization. A recruiter can easily check these facts, and even minor discrepancies will cast doubt on the whole of your proﬁle.

A REGULARLY MAINTAINED PROFILE IS A PROFILE THAT IS CONSTANTLY IMPROVING AND ONE THAT WILL ALWAYS BE A BENEFIT TO YOUR CAREER. and add details on your current position, previous career details, your skills, and education. Consider your target audience when completing your proﬁle. The proﬁle has to engage the interest of readers whether they are industry peers, potential employers, recruiters, or potential clients. Keep the information fact-based and highlight your achievements rather than merely listing responsibilities.

4. Use a Suitable Profile Photo ‘You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression’ is a phrase that is repeated so often that its essential truth is often overlooked. With regard to LinkedIn profile photos the expression is most certainly accurate. While a good photo, on its own, won’t get you that job or ensure that promotion a bad photo has the potential to undermine an otherwise excellent profile. Remember, LinkedIn is not Facebook, so no party photos or pictures of you cuddling

your favorite cat. A photo should complement your profile so keep it simple and don’t be afraid to be staid. A good quality head and shoulders photo is the best option. If you don’t have any suitable photos hire a professional to take one. 5. Disable the Activity Feed If you are reworking an old profile, you can temporarily disable your ‘Activity Broadcasts’. This will give you the opportunity to carefully and silently update your profile. This can be done by going into the ‘Settings’, ‘Privacy Controls’, then ‘Turn on/off your Activity Broadcasts’. After updating your profile restart the ‘Activity Broadcasts’. 6. Customize the Profile URL LinkedIn provides a profile URL for each individual profile that consists of your name followed by a series of seemingly random numbers. A personalized URL is tidier and more professional. To make the change, go to ‘Settings’, then ‘Edit Public Profile’, and ‘Customize Your Public Profile URL’. Add your new profile URL to your email signature. It is a simple but often overlooked means of publicizing your profile and making new connections. 7. Seek Endorsements Actively seek endorsements and recommendations. While endorsements are less valuable than a well-written recommendation they have become an important feature of LinkedIn, allowing colleagues and contacts to validate your skills. A good way to build up your endorsements is to trawl through your contacts and endorse their skills. In most instances they will offer reciprocal endorsements. 8. The Importance of Recommendations Recommendations have the greatest po

tential to put your proﬁle ahead of the competition but acquiring recommendations needs to be done in a considered manner. Don’t approach connections that you have not worked with. That person may, understandably, refuse to recommend someone whose work they do not know. Even if you do get a recommendation in such cases it is likely to be bland and unfocussed.

10. Be Active in Groups The LinkedIn network is populated by over 2.1 million groups, so you will have plenty of potential options. Join groups that are relevant to your profession and those that may provide important information such as local chambers of commerce. You can become active in these groups by posting questions, sharing content, and by commenting on ongoing discussions. Another added benefit Approach those who know your work of group membership is that you can well and who can provide a recommen- directly message other members without dation which highlights a selection of the need to be a first-degree connection. your skills, or details a project that you have completed successfully. Another 11. How to Be Found in advantage to approaching someone LinkedIn and Google with whom you have worked closely is Searches that you can ask them to stress certain Use Google’s ‘Keyword Tool’ to find the achievements and skills.

In these diﬃcult economic times, more and more working professionals are forced to spend time away from their families. Other professionals are advancing their personal agendas in hopes of getting to the top of their profession. This article examines how working professionals can implement goal setting for their own families despite their hectic schedules. Like many professionals caught up in my work life and work family, individuals often do not take the time to use these proven principles in their own homes. Many couples are more selﬁsh than their children are and don’t provide a healthy, nurturing environment for them. This reality speaks to the personal ambition and priorities of the individual within a family structure. Writer J.A. Littler speaks to the material motives and priorities of our society: “Everyone worships something.

working professionals provide their children a great standard of life; however, these parents are often setting their children up for failure. Many times the results of their labor are children who feel entitled and materialistic. The truth is something is being sacriﬁced in lieu of a successful career… your family. The following strategy is provided:

While there may be no oﬃcial religions or cults devoted to cars, money, fashion, or music, these pleasures of life and facets of society are all too often the overwhelming focus of people’s time, energy, and emotions.” Our society tells them they can have it all—money, power, and fame without any sacriﬁces. Sadly, many

5. Develop family goals each year from a holistic viewpoint (family, career, spiritual life, ﬁnances, etc.).

1. Evaluate your family situation based on priorities and how family members’ are spending most of their current time (i.e. work, community activities). 2. Establish the desired vision for your family (the ideal family model). 3. Develop priorities for the family in which all family members will comply. 4. Create a family mission statement.

6. Monitor results based on the desired family vision. Families are the foundation for thriving civilizations, and strong communities are built by strong marriages. Continued on p. 52

Consequently, working professionals need to challenge themselves to provide a more holistic approach for their lives. This article evaluated how working professionals can implement goal setting for their own families. Often, this reality is about balancing competing priorities. Les Brown, author of How to Become the Person You Always Wanted to Be-No Matter What the Obstacle, notes, “Your values are not set by government or church leaders. Your values give you consistency in the way you approach life…By holding to your beliefs, you can always stay on track

toward your dreams.” Hopefully, working professionals can make these life changes for their families before it is too late. Dr. Daryl Green has done extensive research on cultural issues aﬀecting today’s and future leaders. His book, My Cup Runneth Over: Setting Goals for Single Parents and Working Couples, has helped working professionals from across the country.

ASK DIANA Q: I need your kind help. My family and I are legal refugees in the United States. I am 55 years old and am a physician in my countr y of origin. We settled in Texas 8 months ago, and the issue is my medical degree. It is going to take more than 2 years to earn my US equivalency, but I need a suitable job to take care of my family. I appreciate your great experience & advice in such a field.

Have you thought about applying for basic jobs at hospitals? There are a lot of support positions that might work very well for you. It might be good to try for a retail job because the hours can be adjusted. The number of jobs that you can do is only limited by your personality, and your needs.

Based on the career counseling calls I’m getting, that is the case for some of the MBAs seeking to advance their careers. Either their current employers are not promoting them or the new MBA grad just hasn’t found a new job yet. Last month, I taught a full-day job search seminar for the MBA students at Pacific Lutheran University (PLU). The MBAs sat through eight hours covering the best job-search techniques, the formula on resume writing, ways to create impressive cover letters and we spent a lot of time on improving their interview techniques and how to answer those tough, tricky questions employers like to ask. MBAs have some work experience, but combining the past experience and applying the new degree and grabbing employers’ attention is not easy in a tough economy. Here are a few job-hunting tips to help you succeed in landing a new six-figure job.

THE MBA RESUME.

You’ve got 15 seconds to get an employer’s attention. Your degree is an impressive credential, so be sure to have it displayed on your resume and in your cover letters next to your name, i.e. Jack Ryan, MBA. Outline past experience - paid and unpaid. Use action verbs to highlight your accomplishments and the results you achieved. Top skills employers seek from MBA grads include: management, research, organizational skills, communication, problem solving, and team collaboration. Be sure to demonstrate initiative, since it’s your potential that a hiring manager is trying to gage. (Take the resume assessment quiz to see if employers will notice your resume.) For more information, see samples in the book Winning Resumes.

ACING THE MBA INTERVIEW.

You may have learned a lot of theory in school but employers wonder how you will you apply that knowledge on the job. Expect to get asked tough questions. Many employers use the “situational” or “behavioral-style” of interview questioning, which asks you to give specific examples of positive and negative work situations. The interviewer uses this probing style to determine how you have performed in the past. These questions often start out with “Give me an example,” or “Tell me about a time,” or “Describe a situation.” They seek details about your past abilities and performance. Then, the interviewer rates each response to determine and predict

your future performance with her company. Advance preparation is essential to not get tripped up with these tricky questions. (Take the Interview readiness quiz.) For more assistance, read 60 Seconds & You’re Hired.

TARGET MBA RECRUITERS.

Many larger companies have special internal HR recruiters who handle MBA applicants. Finding them is not that easy. A good way to try to uncover who these people are is to try a sweep site. I went to www.Indeed. com and under the search function I used the keyword MBA as my only search requirement. Indeed turned up over 50,000 job openings! You can restrict the search by city, state or industry to narrow your results.

Dave Says BY DAVE RAMSEY

Your Wake-Up Call Dear Dave, My husband and I are both 50, and we make about $50,000 a year. We have a little bit of debt, and recently my mother-in-law moved in with us due to health issues. We’ve always gotten by, but now we’re struggling with the additional expense of having her with us. We love her, but we’re unsure what to do financially. Do you have any suggestions? Jen

Dear Jen, Anytime things get tight and something like that happens, it’s your wake-up call. It’s the phone ringing, so I’m going to tell you to pick up the phone. It’s telling you that you’ve been kind of sloppy and disorganized with your finances in the past, but you’ve made just enough money to get away with it.

Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business. He has authored five New York Times best-selling books, including The Total Money Makeover. The Dave Ramsey Show is heard by more than 8.5 million listeners each week on more than 550 radio stations. Follow Dave on Twitter at @DaveRamsey and on the web at daveramsey.com.

The good news is that with a detailed plan, you can analyze whether you need extra income, if you need to cut some expenses or both. You’ve got to create a little margin to have a clear picture of your future. If you just wander along without a plan, you’re going to make a mess out of this, and it’s going to get bad fast. —Dave

The mikeroweWORKS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that promotes hard work, supports the skilled trades, and challenges the persistent belief that a four-year degree is automatically the best path to take. The Foundation awards scholarships to men and women who have demonstrated an interest in and an aptitude for mastering a specific trade. Our focus is on supporting the specific skilled trades that help close the country’s skills gap and those that represent the significant bulk of our unfilled jobs. The Foundation has been instrumental in granting more than $3 million in scholarships to schools around the country, including Midwest Technical Institute, Tulsa Welding School, The Refrigeration School and Universal Technical Institute. One of the most important objectives of the mrW Foundation is to continually provide opportunities for financial aid to help those qualified individuals who are interested in learning a skill and mastering a trade. Toward that goal, we are continually creating a variety of scholarship programs with like-minded institutions and organizations.
