Recruiters reach out to me all the time and 0 of them have actually helped me. The reality is that 95% of them don't read your profile; they simply put shit into a seach bar and let an algorithm do the rest for them. Why do I know this? Because I job shadowed 3 recruiters of different companies but all of them had the same thought processes. If you still want a recruiter to somehow find you, I'm gonna consolidate these steps. 1) Profile & (maybe) Background photo: Its fucking stupid and arbitrary, but after the recruiter gathers his/her list of profiles using an algorithm (based on key words), they click on most of the people with profile pics and briefly view their profile. Having a background photo isn't the end-all-be-all, but makes the page "look" a little better. 2) A SIMPLE Headline: Recruiters DGAF about "turning ideas into action insert fake motivation bullshit here blah blah blah" headlines. They care about the job they're trying to fill out. Put your job title in your headline and try to make it generic. For example, my job title is "Senior Market Field Specialist". I knock on doors and sell life insurance to old people, so I just put "Life Insurance Agent". 3) Use the drop down menu, especially in the "work experience" section: This ties back to trying to make your job title "generic". If your job title isn't in the drop-down menu, then the algorithm will have a difficult time pairing you up with a job. If McDonalds is looking for a manager, their algorithm is searching for someone with "manager" in their name, not "Operations and Team Leader Specialist". 4) Just be GENERIC! This is the number one advice. Your LinkedIn page isn't technically directed towards a recruiter, its directed towards an Algorithm. Don't waste 2 hours trying to make every part of your LinkedIn appealing; thats what your resume is for. Just make your LinkedIn visually appealing with a profile pic & background photo, a generic headline that could fit every job description thats similar to what you're looking for, and make sure your shit is available on a drop-down menu. 5) Your previous experience isn't about what you do, it's how you say it: I don't sell life insurance, I "make a difference in the senior market by providing protection for their families". You don't work the cash register at McDonald's, you "specialize in front-of-house technology and provide a direct line of communication between cLiEnTs and production manufacturing specialists (line cooks) for a $183B market leader" The job-search process is 100% loaded with bullshit. It fucking sucks. If you don't have experience, it especially sucks because theres no way of judging you. Just being transparent, theres not much that can help other than crossing your fingers, praying, and/or hoping you get lucky. If you don't have experience with any job, your best bet is to simply go get a minimum wage job and somehow apply that knowledge into an entry-level role after you gain some "life experience". Another option is to go to trade-school. Realistically, trade-school is the best way of gaining the skills to prepare for a job. To all the people who are struggling to find a job, I empathize and feel for you. I've recently been in this situation. This process is 100% broken and filled with fake ass people. That is the reality. Being said, it may not seem like it but there are some good recruiters and good people in this world. Just be positive and continue putting in the effort to find a job, or put yourself in a situation to find a job (whether its going to trade school, finding paid/unpaid internships (watch pursuit of happiness), or getting a minimum wage job and hope you fall in love with the industry you're in. Gain that life experience, make money, and be happy. I hope and pray you all find what you're looking for!
I had to come back and let you know. I didn't even follow all the steps! I did what I could at the time and the next day (today) I had a recruiter contact me. I'm floored! Thank you!

Had to come back to this video to let you know, after applied (most) of the tips you gave in this video, about a week later I was contacted by an IT recruiter about a job…. A week after that I was then contacted by an operations manager about another engineer opportunity with their company 😊. So thanks !
I just came across your channel and I am so glad I did. Love the content. Will definitely be following your guide to create a LinkedIn profile. You've got yourself a new subscriber🎉😊.
Finally someone who speaks clearly and gets straight to the point. You are an excellent speaker. It’s no wonder you got a job quickly. Thanks for the info!
I wanted to let you know that your LinkedIn tutorial is the most helpful I have found on TH-cam, especially for the experience section. I watched at least 4 videos with no success and then after getting through your video I found exactly what I was looking for. THANK YOU!!🙂
Just casually scrolling through the comments as the video starts and I don't think I've ever seen so many "this has really worked and so fast, too" typa statements under a video. Whatever you're sharing must be gold. Excited to hear it all!
Thank you for this video! I’ve been applying to jobs for months without much luck. I’ve decided to take a different approach and optimize my LinkedIn. Although I have read a few articles and implemented their suggestions, this video was a lot more informative than all those articles combined. This content is valuable and I know it will help me and so many others secure the careers we desire. Thanks again for sharing! 💜
I just finished this video and revamped my profile at the same time as watching. In just one day I have 100% increase in impressions on my profile! It looks so much better, great quick tips to help. Thank you.
This was so helpful! I've always felt Linkedin was not the best resource for me because I never experienced real results. Now I know why! You shared so many useful tips that I will be incorporating into my current professional page and my upcoming business page. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this informative video. I am re-entering the workforce after a 6-year career break, so I need all the help I can get. Will be updating my LinkedIn profile based on the tips you shared. After watching your video, I am hopeful about my job search and will comment again as I begin to experience success.
I really loved the examples of the banners and tag lines. This video is right on time Bc I am updating mine and a few clients' LinkedIn profiles this week. Perfect. Love your hair too btw
Amazing video as always! I especially love the tip about taking skill quizzes, something I didn’t realize existed until now. Going to take a couple today. Thanks!
I have to work on my LinkedIn profile especially my banner, about section and so on. I'm going to make sure I include my experience in detail. Thanks for sharing
This is such a well put together video. I have never seen one so detailed. girl I took notes! I’m glad that you posted this! Also, can we implement this if we are trying to transition fields? I went back to customer service after a year of not being in it. I want to transition into IT.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you x Yes, you can implement it forsure! I'll also make a video for more tips for people who are looking to transition.
Hi Reni, thanks for providing us with such detailed tips! I’ve got a professional headshot on my profile and one tip I’ll have to work on is developing a well crafted headline to ensure I grab the attention of recruiters.
I also hated the profile pic "open to work" green frame. I had no idea I could hide it and still show recruiters I'm open. That was an awesome tip. Thanks
This was super helpful, Reni, even two years out from the original posting date! I can see your marketing skills in the title, but the thing I appreciate most is that the information you shared backs up the statement! I've applied your tools and we'll see how it goes! Thanks so much from Toronto!
i had to pause the video several times as I kept toggling to the other screen to update my profile according to your suggestions! Thank you so much!!! ❤
I'm about starting my LinkedIn journey today and all of these tips are so helpful. Doing the steps so I can come back to give feedbacks when it hits. Thanks, Reni.
Quickly becoming one of my favorite channel! The kinda content we need, bless you!! Also...maybe it depends on the field, but I find engaging posts in groups I’m in help with some traffic. I still have to apply for jobs though hahaha.
Want me to review your LinkedIn profile? 💛 If you want me to review your profile & give you feedback and tips, leave a comment + your LinkedIn name: *MUST BE COMFY WITH YOUR PROFILE BEING USED AS AN EXAMPLE IN A VIDEO.
Thank you so much for creating this video because my profile was a hot mess lol. I am currently switching from being a logo designer to a web developer (front-end developer) so I redid my LinkedIn profile. Well let's just say I did it wrong. However while watching this video I fixed it and it looks much better. I am hoping that the changes I made will help me to land my first job. Thanks again for this video.
I'm only 1 minute in on this video, and I just gotta say that you have an incredible trustworthiness about you. I don't know how, but I'm ready to do as you say haha!
Super helpful video, Reni! You've got authentic beautiful energy. I often have my resume in the Featured section (without an address or phone number) - recruiters love that!
Hi Reni, Thank you for providing a very detailed instructional video on setting up your LinkedIn profile and also which included a plethora of great tips. Thank you. Very kind. A great/free resource!
Hi Reni-this was the BEST video ever! I never had a Linkendin page mostly because I been on my job 30 plus years BUT I don' have the years to retire yet. I just graduated with my masters two weeks ago and decided to see what else is out there. I would pause and update, pause and update until I finally got it done. I was a little concerned about the open to work but did recruiters only and the emails started coming in. Happy New Year and keep the content coming-Blessings!!!
Thanks Reni! My profile is certainly not optimised. Loads of work to do on my part. Will certainly come back to thank you for the results, when I'm done.
Thank you soooooo much for this detailed and effective video 🤗 you don't know how much you've helped me 🥺 i have been bothered about updating my LinkedIn profile myself since last year but the videos i came across didn't help me to navigate effectively......i am personally grateful as i was able to update my profile and it's now looking presentable. God bless you real good for making this video🙏
This was a great informative video. I definitely agree having a photo that everyone can see as well as great tag lines play a big role in having a recruiter reach out to you.🙌💜👑
This is very detailed information on Linkedln. The sure thing to take away is that we need to update our Linkedln profile to be able to achieve good results with it.
nice overall! Thanks for the tips - obvious that you are young because putting dates of education on your linked in or resume can have a negative effect even though "illegal" as you get older. No need to put dates
Thank you so much for this video. I couldn't have come across it ata perfect timing. I'm currently looking to optimize my LinkedIn profile and saw you reshare this video on LinkedIn recently. I'll work on my updating my profile😊
@@xoRenihey,ma'am. I'm actually crossed between having two personalities on my LinkedIn yea.. I'm a law graduate and also a product designer.. How do I combine both or do I go for one and create my profile and all? Thank you
Very helpful Reni - this was excellent and I'm going to implement some of these tips this week. I've heard of the resourcefulness of LinkedIn and haven't really tapped in like I should
honestly am greatful for this post, i have been in LinkedIn since 2020 till now i didnt know all this, thanks very much am going right now to work on my LinkedIn
Thank you so much for this video Reni, it definitely helped provide more details on what to details to be adding to the different sections for a LinkedIn profile.
You break it all down so well! So many opportunities and life-transforming events will be popping in several mailboxes because of you. Great job, Reni 💕 Also, thanks for the feature. ‘‘Twas such a pleasant surprise 😊
Wow, I must say that, this is a top notch 👌 well detailed video. You have opened my eyes to so many things that I don't know they exist on LinkedIn. Thank you 🙏 so much for sharing. I appreciate your effort 👍
Thanks for the advice Reni! You always have such great knowledge to share. You made me realize how much more work I needed to put into my profile even down to having a banner picture. Now to figure out what to write posts about 😅
Thank you so much for your information. You gave some really helpful and insightful tips. I have already made some major changes to my profile. So glad I came across your video.
I followed all of your instructions on video and it was so helpful. I was able to update everything. Any chance you can do a video on updating a resume?
Your explanation was top notch. I intend to follow the instructions and advise. Keep doing the great work e especiaqlly for rookies like me. Have a great day.
Hi Reni! Thank you for sharing your resources with us! Love your hair, beautiful microbraids!!! A question: How do I market myself for better jobs if I have connections with clients and teamleaders from my current job?
When I was working, I loved getting my paycheck every week. I loved hitting the malls and shopping for clothes. Throughout high school, I struggled to define a career for myself. After high school, I worked through a temp agency, and I got the opportunity to work in some cool industries. I longed for a permanent career. At the temp agencies, I did administrative support jobs. I wish I could say I worked one job like my siblings, but I bounced around no fault of my own. I was always trying to be perfect. Those adjectives looked good on my resume, punctual, team-player, hard working, no long lunches or breaks; always working and when I'm done, I ask my supervisor if there was anything else I could do? Some jobs were short term. Some jobs, the supervisor or boss wanted me to stay longer or wanted to hire me. In your experience is it typical to have a person calling someone's job to try to make someone look bad or get someone fired? I thought everyone in the country and the world had to find some means of earning a living after high school.

Thank you, Janey 🤗
Reni, you are truly a valuable intelligent resource. I'm sure your tips will be stellar.
Thank you ☺️
This was a great informative video. I definitely agree having a photo that everyone can see as well as great tag lines play a big role in having a recruiter reach out to you.🙌💜👑
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🙌
This is very detailed information on Linkedln. The sure thing to take away is that we need to update our Linkedln profile to be able to achieve good results with it.
Definitely! Thanks for watching.
I followed along and revamped my profile. Time to start posting. Thank you!!
My pleasure ☺️
This was so dope. I had to pause the video to take notes. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you for watching!
This is me coming to share my testimony, followed the recommendation and began appearing more in searches, and had a recruiter send me a message.
Yayyy! I'm so happy to hear this 🤗
The LinkedIn recruiter thing was awesome. Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
nice overall! Thanks for the tips - obvious that you are young because putting dates of education on your linked in or resume can have a negative effect even though "illegal" as you get older. No need to put dates
Lol

Hi Reni! Thank you for sharing your resources with us! Love your hair, beautiful microbraids!!!
A question: How do I market myself for better jobs if I have connections with clients and teamleaders from my current job?
Thank you Rute! Do you mean in the sense that you don’t want them to know that you are open to work?

Thank you so much!!
When I was working, I loved getting my paycheck every week. I loved hitting the malls and shopping for clothes. Throughout high school, I struggled to define a career for myself. After high school, I worked through a temp agency, and I got the opportunity to work in some cool industries. I longed for a permanent career. At the temp agencies, I did administrative support jobs. I wish I could say I worked one job like my siblings, but I bounced around no fault of my own. I was always trying to be perfect. Those adjectives looked good on my resume, punctual, team-player, hard working, no long lunches or breaks; always working and when I'm done, I ask my supervisor if there was anything else I could do? Some jobs were short term. Some jobs, the supervisor or boss wanted me to stay longer or wanted to hire me. In your experience is it typical to have a person calling someone's job to try to make someone look bad or get someone fired? I thought everyone in the country and the world had to find some means of earning a living after high school.
No that isn't typical.
This is so helpful to me, I can now optimise my LinkedIn profile
So glad to help!
