Whenever you're applying for some position you can pretty much bet the ranch that the recruiter is going
to check out your LinkedIn profile.
That happens about 91 percent of the time according to a recent study humans eyes are like information
vacuums.
Researchers at Purdue University recently found that about 65 percent of the global population actually
learns best with their eyes.
So that means that they actually collect information like graphics charts videos and learn from it best.
So that's why one way to take your LinkedIn profile to ninja status is just to go ahead and integrate
visual assets that support your message and the team it easier your suggests a three step process for
making sure that you do that.
So step one is just think about your message.
An electrical engineer needs to show that they're great with electronics while a politician needs to
show that they're great meeting and working with voters.
So what's your message.
Step two is just to support that message with assets that you already have.
So collect videos photos research papers charts or any other assets that you can integrate into your
LinkedIn profile and go ahead and do that.
An easy win for some people is just to take photos of your degrees because you can put those easily
into your LinkedIn profile and then step three is just from your own career documentarian.
Next time you have a big meeting take a photo.
You never know when you're making history.
So if Jonas here is trying to position himself as a Chinese tutor first he's just going to think about
his message.
Well he basically needs to project the message that he's an expert on Chinese language and maybe even
on China.
So then step two he's going to think what assets do I already have.
So he might put photos of him working with students in China or a trip to China and integrate those
into his LinkedIn profile.
Step three he's just going to evidence his expertise as he goes on his career.
So next time he makes a trip to China he's going to go and meet with some students and take a photo
with them so that he can show that he actually has experience meeting with Chinese students and that
he's an expert in this area.
