Understanding six scary
LinkedIn secrets can help you make the most of your LinkedIn profile and
presence, particularly if you are job seeking.
Scary Secret 1: Recruiters with a premium account can contact your former boss and coworkers
through LinkedIn even before they contact you.
Scary truth: Recruiters can
contact your former boss and coworkers.
Consider what to do to overcome
possible negative references.
LinkedIn premium recruiter
accounts contain a feature that allows recruiters to track down people from a
candidate's former companies who are on LinkedIn. If you fear that someone from
a past job may give you a bad reference, seek to heal the relationship and shore
up your reputation with past bosses and coworkers.
Scary Secret 2: LinkedIn sends companies who pay to post job openings on its site the top 24
best candidate profiles for a position whether they are actively job seeking or
not. The profiles that are sent are those people whom the system views as being
the closest match to the job description.
To increase your chances of
being a top candidate in the "eyes" of the LinkedIn system, make sure the
information included in your profile matches the job descriptions for the jobs
that you want as closely as possible.
Scary Secret 3: Adding extra job titles into your work history job title boxes will let you show
up higher in search.
Here's what I mean. Say your
former job title was "Sales Representative";. The title "Sales Representative"; is
only 20 total characters, but each job title box lets you include a maximum of
100 characters. Use the extra space to truthfully include other job titles that
you performed in the position in parentheses behind your real job title, like
this:
Sales Representative
(Regional Sales Manager | Territory Sales | Retail Sales | Account
Executive)
By filling the title boxes
out more fully, you will show up high in Advance People Search results (which
recruiters use to find candidates) for all of these titles.
Scary Secret 4: You
can send free messages to many recruiters to let them know you are
interested in their open positions. That's because thousands of recruiters with
a premium LinkedIn account have opted to display an Open Link badge on their
profile so that top candidates can reach them.
To contact an OpenLink
recruiter, look for the colorful circular logo next to his/her name and then
click "Send InMail". Learn more.
Scary Secret 5: You
can invite to connect or send a message to anyone in a LinkedIn group in which
you are a member. This can be useful if you want to get in touch with someone in
a group who is a hiring decision maker or who could be influential in getting
you in front of the decision maker.
To invite a group member to
connect, go to Interests and then Groups. Scroll through your groups list and
select a particular group. Click on the Members tab. Type the target person's
name into the Search box or scroll through the list. Hover over a person's group
entry until the box turns blue and then click on either the "Invite to connect"
or "Send message" option. Learn more.
Scary Secret 6: You
can learn the last name of 3rd degree connections and group members that the
LinkedIn system has truncated to just the first name / first letter of the last
name. (LinkedIn will only reveal those last names if you upgrade to a premium
account).
To learn the full name,
simply type the known information into the Google search box (first name, job
title, company name, and city). The person's last name will almost always show
up in the Google search results. Learn more.
LinkedIn's secrets can be
scary good or scary bad, but knowing how the secrets work is always good,
because such knowledge can help you ... Get a Job!

these LinkedIn secrets or other secrets you've come across! Pass this article
along to others to clue them in on these 6 secret tips.
