JobSeeker Ally ! Wordsmith !JobHunting.org Contributor" are examples of headlines tht are clear and might grab attention when compared to plain-Jane headlines like management Trainee in a MNC.
3.Add,Add and Add
Add more and more connections,if you find someone who can add quality to your network and timeline - reach out to them and add them.Connect and actively talk to them.Think of LinkedIn as us unending party running online - networking helps and it never stops.
4.Research companies

5.Endorse and get endsorse
sometime it is okay to shamelessly ask people who have worked with you in the past to endsorse you,think of it is the foundation stone of your professional image.
6.Three to four recommendations
Try to have variety of people recommend you,like your boss,a direct report or a client.Coach the person on what you'd want them to focus on.Better yet,if they are willing to write a recommendation,offer to create a draft for them and suggest they edit it as they see fit.They will show them what you want them to focus on and take less of their time in the process.
7.Use plenty of Keywords
Make sure these keywords are used in the correct fields.Use keywords several times throughout your profile.Fields that are keyword searchable include your headline,summary,location,job title,job description,volunteer experience,skill,activities,publications and award.organizations etc.
8.Join job search groups
This need to be handled carefully,make sure they are hidden on your public profile.Join groups within your industry and network in the city or cities where you'd like to work.If you join jobseeker groups,just be sure to turn off the option to keep groups visible on your public profile.
