Your LinkedIn profile is another important vehicle for you to tell your story and get noticed by your top choice companies. More than ever, your LinkedIn presence allows you to expand upon your resume and show more of your personality and professional values. It’s also an opportunity for you to demonstrate your personal brand through your personalized summary and engaging content.
Not only is LinkedIn an opportunity for you to tell your story, it’s one of the primary places to do career research and build your professional network.
Recently, LinkedIn rolled out a new feature called “Cover Story” allowing users to engage with their connections and recruiters using video. Though adding a cover story to your profile does not guarantee more recruiters will reach out, it doesn’t hurt to stand out and vocalize who you are and what you’re looking for. Doing so will indeed enhance your profile! This article talks about the new feature and has good examples of what a cover story could include.
