Jobs On Linkedin. by joeanointing(m): 11:16pm On Jan 11, 2016
I have applied for over thirty jobs on LinkedIn and have never gotten a call, text or email for interview. I sincerely hope I have not been wasting my time. I want to know if anyone has ever gotten a job invite from LinkedIn.

Please, I have a problem with my LinkedIn account. My location was set to USA and I keep getting foreign job alerts. I have tried my best but I don't know how I can change it to Nigeria. Pls help advise me on how I can change the location.

Linkedln is a grace land, you may not get invited for applications you did but with a well constructed profile and cv, you can get interview invites even beyond Nigeria and if u perform well, you land the job.m

Make sure u have a skype account and always online to respond

All from personal experience...

I will generally say you have a good updated linkedin account..

And let your address, phone contact and email be there..(for over 1year, my fone numba wasn't there, funny!)

And use a corporate profile pix
Ur name too should be simple..avoid alias and other irrelevancies
Try to network with people in ur career path
Also, follow companies u av interest in..u can even follow the HR if possible

Upload ur resume on it too.
Also join groups that are in ur line

Then how do u want a recruiter to contact u? Linkedin is not for chatting, remember!

You filter the information you get.

Some companies will even tell u to apply with ur linkedin profile...that is what's up.

Linkedin is NOT a job search site....
Its a professional social networking platform companies and individual use to relay information, job advert inclusive.

U get information and daily updates on what some companies are actually up to and profiles of individuals in the professional network.

Its just a professional network site not for jobs

The question shouldnt be only if the individual is qualified but include how well have one packaged one's profile to attract HR attention. I made sure i packaged mine professionally with a goodlooking profile pic to match, well detailed job experience and educational qualifications, professional qualification (neccesary or not even NYSC CDS ), awards....etc make it packed not scanty...so I have gotten satisfactory views from employers even my current one I got thru linkedin
