I do kinda wish I knew the secrets of how to get 2-3 recruiting emails a day though. Unless it's "have 5 more years of experience," I think my profile could use some help.
It doesn't guarantee 2-3 per emails per day, but a few per week is certainly achievable.
You do need a few years of experience + some buzzwords.
Done and done.
> You do need a few years of experience + some buzzwords.
3.5 years. What buzzwords do I need? I just want to be able to find a job in a few weeks the next time I am looking. I don't think that's too much to ask.
Edit: I misspoke; by "find a job in a few weeks," I meant "start getting interviews within a week or two." No amount of LinkedIn profile magic will help me get a job directly, obviously.
... and while I was writing this, I just received a message from a startup that raised 200M and want me to join one of their team of 3 known ex googlers on some hard industry problem. [How crazy. I applied there last year and they never replied]
Well nevermind, linkedin is awesome. Now that I think about it, I left my last job because of a lead from it. :D
If it doesn't work for you. You are not in a tech hub or you don't have a profile rare enough. What's your city? and link to your profile?
I don't blog, tweet, or use Facebook. Do I need to do those things to attract attention?
And, all that twiddling of one's profile seems like a stupid thing that I'm reasonably sure people generally don't do. Maybe I just need to write a bot to automate it.
Sigh. I don't know how to LinkedIn. :P
Intro is too long. Make it shorter and to the point. After 5 or 10 lines, it get hidden automatically.
[Do you realize that you have the equivalent of "I am open totally to leave my current company" while you're working at your current company?]
You lack a lot of keywords. Only Python, DynamoDb, AWS. You must have touched other things. The titles are 4 times "software engineer [intern]". You NEED MORE KEYWORDS.
The short line on each company is good and well written, I love to get context. =)
The content is missing substance. Add business metrics, how many users? how many servers? how many dollars going through? how many mails send [at the mail company]?
I have no visibility into these business metrics because they don't tell me.
What type of keywords do you suggest?
I try but I cannot understand your situation. I couldn't work without business and user metrics. That's the only thing changing from a job to another.
Keywords: More technologies. More trendy job titles. [Don't know what's relevant to your past jobs. Can't help.]
Believe it or not, changing these job titles to what they are now actually got me far more attention than what I had before (which was just the "official" job title, which didn't necessarily reflect the things I was actually doing).
There are endless variations referring to close jobs.
