Job Hunt on LinkedIn - Questions

 

  1. I am only able to add three alerts (on LinkedIn).  I am in the US and not on premium.
    1. LinkedIn's job alert feature allows members worldwide to create up to 20 job alerts simultaneously. 
    2. Each job alert can be customized based on job title, location, company, or industry criteria. You can also receive daily or weekly notifications via email, in-app messages, or both.
    3. To set up a job alert:
    4. Search for a job using your desired criteria.
    5. At the top left of the job search results page, toggle the "Set alert" switch to On to create a job alert for your current search criteria.
    6. Click "Manage alerts" to select how often you'd like to receive alerts and how you'd like to be notified (email, notification, etc).
    7. Click "Done".
  2. Can the company name, role/title, and location be included? For example, VISA—Program management, based in Miami.
    1. LinkedIn uses the filters to get specific, like organization or location, vs in the search field. 
    2. You can also use Boolean search for more advanced searches, but most can be handled by filtering your searches.
  3. How do I access LHH if I am not on LinkedIn?  
    1. You do need personal access to LinkedIn. You can set up a free account. Keynote: To connect easily, use the same email in your setup as your LHH account.  
  4. Should I apply to jobs with status  as reposted?
    1. Yes! A reposted job could mean the employer is still searching for the right candidate, has expanded their hiring pool, or is reopening applications. If you meet the qualifications, it's still worth applying.
      Detailed Explanation:
      Why Jobs Get Reposted:
      1. They didn’t find the right candidate yet.
      2. The role’s requirements or budget have changed.
      3. They need more applicants.
      4. The original post expired, but they’re still hiring.
    2. How to Approach a Reposted Job:
      Check if you've applied before – If you applied previously and weren’t selected, tweak your resume and cover letter to better match the job.
      Look for changes in the posting – If the description has been updated, address the new details in your application.
      Leverage connections – If you know someone at the company, reach out to ask about the role’s status.
      Is It a Red Flag?
      Not necessarily. However, frequent reposting without hires might indicate unrealistic expectations, budget issues, or internal company challenges.
  5. Where do we find the HELP button?
    1. On Desktop:
      1. Click on your profile picture (top right corner).
      2. Select Help from the dropdown menu.
      3. You’ll be taken to the LinkedIn Help Center.
    1. On Mobile (App):
      1. Tap your profile picture (top left corner).
      2. Scroll down and tap Help Center.
  6. Should the profile be updated with posts and activity to help with the job search?
    1. Yes! Updating your LinkedIn profile and engaging with posts and activity can significantly improve your job search visibility.
    1. Why It Matters:
      1. Recruiters check your activity – They look at recent posts, comments, and engagement to gauge your industry interest and expertise.
      2. Active profiles rank higher – Regular updates and interactions help your profile appear in more searches.
      3. Networking opportunities – Posting insights, sharing content, or commenting on industry discussions can attract potential employers.
