   5. How to use LinkedIn effectively(tips and tricks) in your job search?

   Profile headline should be concise and informative 1. You might be a jack of all trades but in your LinkedIn headline, you should mention the skills you are mastered at. 2. Should display your niche skills because they are your selling points. 3. Shouldn’t be too excessive information or overused phrases. It doesn’t need to be your current role. 4. Professional profile picture should be there. Not the one from your last vacation. -------------------------------------------------------------- Your Linkedin profile should be up to date all the time 1. Your profile should always be up to date Ex: up skills, and certificates, role changes. 2. Make sure to include the keywords related to the job you are searching for. 3. Make sure the text is grammatical error free because if there are any errors then it shows that you don’t care about your profile. --------------------------------------------------------------- Keep growing your network time on time 1. Keep adding people to your network that you come across professionally. Like as network events, uni programs, boot camps… 2. Never stop growing your network. Keep finding the people from the organizations you want to work for or related to your job roles, and recruiters. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Request for recommendations and give also. 1. Always ask for recommendations from your previous colleagues, professors, internship managers, boot camp instructors, or maybe from the tutor that you learned from an online course. 2. At the same time you should also give recommendations. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Be active on LinkedIn space 1. Follow the company pages, CEOs, and senior managers and actively interact with their posts. 2. Conduct some polls-time on time about current tech changes. You can also join some Linkedin online networking groups. 3. If you come across any helpful info that you feel will help other fellow job seekers or people in your network then post it. 4. By being active on LinkedIn regularly will make you reach or network with more people in return will create more chances for you. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Use Linkedin filters effectively when you are searching for jobs. 1. Use the Linkedin filters in the Jobs section like by city, role, job type, experience etc.. 2. By doing this you will get closer to that the job you are looking for. 3. You can increase your network also by using these filters when you are looking for some persons or some role-based people professionally. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Mainly for Australia based only: If you or your friends need any help with resume preparations/reviews, cover letter preparation/review, or talking to recruiters then please shoot me an email at this email address: levelupwithag@gmail.com

   4: What would I do differently if I had to start all over again as an Immigrant?

   I don’t wait until the very end 1. The longer you wait the more chances you miss. 2. When it comes to using the time as an immigrant you have to start asap. Time is the most important and valuable commodity. 3. Assess the job market around you, and the skills needed, assess yourself, and identify what are the skills you are lacking. ------------------------------ I will figure out what I want to do 1. If you try 1000 things without really knowing what you want to do then it’s a waste of time 2. Assess all the possibilities, you’re passionate about and decide what you want to do. 3. It doesn’t need to be only getting a job, it can be business also if that’s your ultimate goal. 4. Check all the visa conditions also like whether you are allowed to work, do business and later pathways to get the PR, Citizenship ------------------------------ Filling the knowledge gap by learning the skills 1. Only your master’s or Bachelor’s degree won’t fetch you a job. You have to go that extra mile and improve your skills. 2. After assessing my skills, I would focus on the most in-demand skills that I am lacking. 3. It’s not only about Hard skills but also about soft skills. ------------------------------ Seeking for help 1. Never hesitate to take professional help. Like paid services. 2. We spend a lot of money on unnecessary things, entertainment but why not on you? Hire a good professional career coach or job strategist to help you along the journey. 3. Not just for one month or two, keep in touch with them and seeking for their suggestions. Continue that relationship. ------------------------------ Building the professional network 1. Building a professional network in your city or the country you are immigrating is very important and key role. 2. You can build a professional network while playing team sports like Cricket, basketball, or Volleyball. Sports grounds are the best places to improve the network. 3. Ask for their experiences and learn one or two things from them. Things might be different from they migrated but still, you can learn. ------------------------------ Take it easy, don’t stress out 1. Don’t stress too much about your career. The only thing you can do is just try and improve. If you worry too much then you can’t be able t o put in your full efforts. 2. Don’t compare with your peer group or with someone else. Your situation is entirely different from theirs. 3. Always keep talking to your family members whenever you feel low and cheer up. ------------------------------ For any queries or help please send an email to: Level Up With AG (levelupwithag@gmail.com)
