1

00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:08,880

Whenever you're applying for some position you can pretty much bet the ranch that the recruiter is going



2

00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,000

to check out your LinkedIn profile.



3

00:00:11,070 --> 00:00:17,910

That happens about 91 percent of the time according to a recent study humans eyes are like information



4

00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:19,030

vacuums.



5

00:00:19,050 --> 00:00:24,930

Researchers at Purdue University recently found that about 65 percent of the global population actually



6

00:00:24,930 --> 00:00:26,670

learns best with their eyes.



7

00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:33,630

So that means that they actually collect information like graphics charts videos and learn from it best.



8

00:00:33,660 --> 00:00:40,290

So that's why one way to take your LinkedIn profile to ninja status is just to go ahead and integrate



9

00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:47,190

visual assets that support your message and the team it easier your suggests a three step process for



10

00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:48,520

making sure that you do that.



11

00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,360

So step one is just think about your message.



12

00:00:51,570 --> 00:00:56,730

An electrical engineer needs to show that they're great with electronics while a politician needs to



13

00:00:56,730 --> 00:00:59,220

show that they're great meeting and working with voters.



14

00:00:59,220 --> 00:01:00,750

So what's your message.



15

00:01:00,750 --> 00:01:05,040

Step two is just to support that message with assets that you already have.



16

00:01:05,190 --> 00:01:12,450

So collect videos photos research papers charts or any other assets that you can integrate into your



17

00:01:12,450 --> 00:01:15,180

LinkedIn profile and go ahead and do that.



18

00:01:15,180 --> 00:01:20,280

An easy win for some people is just to take photos of your degrees because you can put those easily



19

00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:26,020

into your LinkedIn profile and then step three is just from your own career documentarian.



20

00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,300

Next time you have a big meeting take a photo.



21

00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:31,020

You never know when you're making history.



22

00:01:31,020 --> 00:01:38,040

So if Jonas here is trying to position himself as a Chinese tutor first he's just going to think about



23

00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:38,900

his message.



24

00:01:38,910 --> 00:01:44,040

Well he basically needs to project the message that he's an expert on Chinese language and maybe even



25

00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:44,960

on China.



26

00:01:44,970 --> 00:01:48,700

So then step two he's going to think what assets do I already have.



27

00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:55,290

So he might put photos of him working with students in China or a trip to China and integrate those



28

00:01:55,290 --> 00:01:57,200

into his LinkedIn profile.



29

00:01:57,210 --> 00:02:02,540

Step three he's just going to evidence his expertise as he goes on his career.



30

00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:07,020

So next time he makes a trip to China he's going to go and meet with some students and take a photo



31

00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:11,520

with them so that he can show that he actually has experience meeting with Chinese students and that



32

00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,120

he's an expert in this area.



33

00:02:15,030 --> 00:02:19,200

So if you have something that you would like to ask to do on a particular topic or a comment that you



34

00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,340

think would help any of the other class members go ahead and use the discussions feature here Anyuta



35

00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,820

me to either start a discussion or a topic or respond to one that already exists.
