No joke: I followed all your instructions this morning, and got messaged by recruiters TWO HOURS LATER! You are awesome

Recruiters reach out to me all the time and 0 of them have actually helped me. The reality is that 95% of them don't read your profile; they simply put shit into a seach bar and let an algorithm do the rest for them. Why do I know this? Because I job shadowed 3 recruiters of different companies but all of them had the same thought processes. If you still want a recruiter to somehow find you, I'm gonna consolidate these steps. 1) Profile & (maybe) Background photo: Its fucking stupid and arbitrary, but after the recruiter gathers his/her list of profiles using an algorithm (based on key words), they click on most of the people with profile pics and briefly view their profile. Having a background photo isn't the end-all-be-all, but makes the page "look" a little better. 2) A SIMPLE Headline: Recruiters DGAF about "turning ideas into action insert fake motivation bullshit here blah blah blah" headlines. They care about the job they're trying to fill out. Put your job title in your headline and try to make it generic. For example, my job title is "Senior Market Field Specialist". I knock on doors and sell life insurance to old people, so I just put "Life Insurance Agent". 3) Use the drop down menu, especially in the "work experience" section: This ties back to trying to make your job title "generic". If your job title isn't in the drop-down menu, then the algorithm will have a difficult time pairing you up with a job. If McDonalds is looking for a manager, their algorithm is searching for someone with "manager" in their name, not "Operations and Team Leader Specialist". 4) Just be GENERIC! This is the number one advice. Your LinkedIn page isn't technically directed towards a recruiter, its directed towards an Algorithm. Don't waste 2 hours trying to make every part of your LinkedIn appealing; thats what your resume is for. Just make your LinkedIn visually appealing with a profile pic & background photo, a generic headline that could fit every job description thats similar to what you're looking for, and make sure your shit is available on a drop-down menu. 5) Your previous experience isn't about what you do, it's how you say it: I don't sell life insurance, I "make a difference in the senior market by providing protection for their families". You don't work the cash register at McDonald's, you "specialize in front-of-house technology and provide a direct line of communication between cLiEnTs and production manufacturing specialists (line cooks) for a $183B market leader" The job-search process is 100% loaded with bullshit. It fucking sucks. If you don't have experience, it especially sucks because theres no way of judging you. Just being transparent, theres not much that can help other than crossing your fingers, praying, and/or hoping you get lucky. If you don't have experience with any job, your best bet is to simply go get a minimum wage job and somehow apply that knowledge into an entry-level role after you gain some "life experience". Another option is to go to trade-school. Realistically, trade-school is the best way of gaining the skills to prepare for a job. To all the people who are struggling to find a job, I empathize and feel for you. I've recently been in this situation. This process is 100% broken and filled with fake ass people. That is the reality. Being said, it may not seem like it but there are some good recruiters and good people in this world. Just be positive and continue putting in the effort to find a job, or put yourself in a situation to find a job (whether its going to trade school, finding paid/unpaid internships (watch pursuit of happiness), or getting a minimum wage job and hope you fall in love with the industry you're in. Gain that life experience, make money, and be happy. I hope and pray you all find what you're looking for!

I legit followed all of your tips and had a recruiter from Facebook reach out the next day. Amazing video, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I had to come back and let you know. I didn't even follow all the steps! I did what I could at the time and the next day (today) I had a recruiter contact me. I'm floored! Thank you!

Had to come back to this video to let you know, after applied (most) of the tips you gave in this video, about a week later I was contacted by an IT recruiter about a job…. A week after that I was then contacted by an operations manager about another engineer opportunity with their company 😊. So thanks !

Okay, this video definitely let me know that my LinkedIn is not where it needs to be. I’ve got some work to do.

I've been on LinkedIn since college and did NOT realize how un-optimized my profile was. These tips are gold. Thank you!!!

Finally someone who speaks clearly and gets straight to the point. You are an excellent speaker. It’s no wonder you got a job quickly. Thanks for the info!

I really loved the examples of the banners and tag lines. This video is right on time Bc I am updating mine and a few clients' LinkedIn profiles this week. Perfect. Love your hair too btw

Amazing video as always! I especially love the tip about taking skill quizzes, something I didn’t realize existed until now. Going to take a couple today. Thanks!

I wanted to let you know that your LinkedIn tutorial is the most helpful I have found on KZfaq, especially for the experience section. I watched at least 4 videos with no success and then after getting through your video I found exactly what I was looking for. THANK YOU!!🙂

Hi Reni, Thank you for providing a very detailed instructional video on setting up your LinkedIn profile and also which included a plethora of great tips. Thank you. Very kind. A great/free resource!

Love it! Great job as usual, Reni! 🙌🏽

This was a great informative video. I definitely agree having a photo that everyone can see as well as great tag lines play a big role in having a recruiter reach out to you.🙌💜👑

Thank you so much for helping all of us. This has been very meaningful and helped me feel confident completing the LinkedIn profile. Bless you!!!

I didn’t know so much could be done on LinkedIn until watching this video. Thanks so much. Very informative

Thank you Reni for the video. I have applied many of your useful tips to make my LinkedIn profile much stronger! Have a great day!

Quickly becoming one of my favorite channel! The kinda content we need, bless you!! Also...maybe it depends on the field, but I find engaging posts in groups I’m in help with some traffic. I still have to apply for jobs though hahaha.

Hi Reni-this was the BEST video ever! I never had a Linkendin page mostly because I been on my job 30 plus years BUT I don' have the years to retire yet. I just graduated with my masters two weeks ago and decided to see what else is out there. I would pause and update, pause and update until I finally got it done. I was a little concerned about the open to work but did recruiters only and the emails started coming in. Happy New Year and keep the content coming-Blessings!!!

🤯💥🤯!! This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. Thanks for making this video.

definetely have a lot of work to do, thank you so much for this!!

This was super informative. I always wondered what was a good way to get attention on LinkedIn. Great video as always.

Want me to review your LinkedIn profile? 💛 If you want me to review your profile & give you feedback and tips, leave a comment + your LinkedIn name: *MUST BE COMFY WITH YOUR PROFILE BEING USED AS AN EXAMPLE IN A VIDEO.

Thank you so much for this video Reni, it definitely helped provide more details on what to details to be adding to the different sections for a LinkedIn profile.

Just casually scrolling through the comments as the video starts and I don't think I've ever seen so many "this has really worked and so fast, too" typa statements under a video. Whatever you're sharing must be gold. Excited to hear it all!

This was so helpful! So many features I didn't know about

Very helpful Reni - this was excellent and I'm going to implement some of these tips this week. I've heard of the resourcefulness of LinkedIn and haven't really tapped in like I should

This was so helpful! I've always felt Linkedin was not the best resource for me because I never experienced real results. Now I know why! You shared so many useful tips that I will be incorporating into my current professional page and my upcoming business page. Thank you.

This was beyond helpful. I got recruiters reaching out after days of applying your tips to my LinkedIn. Love you!

Thanks for this video.I realized that my profile was only public to my connections, not everyone. Turned on open to work too.

Thank you so much for this informative video. I am re-entering the workforce after a 6-year career break, so I need all the help I can get. Will be updating my LinkedIn profile based on the tips you shared. After watching your video, I am hopeful about my job search and will comment again as I begin to experience success.

This was very helpful Reni, made so many changes right along. Thank you

This was super helpful, Reni, even two years out from the original posting date! I can see your marketing skills in the title, but the thing I appreciate most is that the information you shared backs up the statement! I've applied your tools and we'll see how it goes! Thanks so much from Toronto!

Thanks for the advice Reni! You always have such great knowledge to share. You made me realize how much more work I needed to put into my profile even down to having a banner picture. Now to figure out what to write posts about 😅

Thank you for this video! I’ve been applying to jobs for months without much luck. I’ve decided to take a different approach and optimize my LinkedIn. Although I have read a few articles and implemented their suggestions, this video was a lot more informative than all those articles combined. This content is valuable and I know it will help me and so many others secure the careers we desire. Thanks again for sharing! 💜

This is such a well put together video. I have never seen one so detailed. girl I took notes! I’m glad that you posted this! Also, can we implement this if we are trying to transition fields? I went back to customer service after a year of not being in it. I want to transition into IT.

Hi Reni, thanks for providing us with such detailed tips! I’ve got a professional headshot on my profile and one tip I’ll have to work on is developing a well crafted headline to ensure I grab the attention of recruiters.

I can't express how much I appreciate this content. I would watch a section and then pause the video to go to LinkedIn and make the recommended changes. I didn't finish until 4 pm on a Friday, so will come back here and report my results next week. Thank you so much!

Felt comfortable being on your tutorial. Good info and told like a story. Thank you.Dr Keith

I just finished this video and revamped my profile at the same time as watching. In just one day I have 100% increase in impressions on my profile! It looks so much better, great quick tips to help. Thank you.

Super helpful video, Reni! You've got authentic beautiful energy. I often have my resume in the Featured section (without an address or phone number) - recruiters love that!

Thank you for this Reni! I have taken the time to follow your tips🤗

i had to pause the video several times as I kept toggling to the other screen to update my profile according to your suggestions! Thank you so much!!! ❤

You know I always knew journaling was great but I prayed yesterday to come across a video on how to journal. Thank you Nae!

I have to work on my LinkedIn profile especially my banner, about section and so on. I'm going to make sure I include my experience in detail. Thanks for sharing

This was so insightful, glad I came across your channel! 😍

I enjoyed this video. You made LinkedIn so easy. Thank you, Reni
