Job Search Tips: LinkedIn Tips to Help Your Executive Job Search

Today I want to share some ideas on networking this week.I want to share with you some ideas that you may not have tried to use with LinkedIn for networking. This is a section from my new book The NEW Rules of Job Search - How to Land an Executive Job in the New Economy, page 133 - 134. For more details see  www.TheNEWRulesofJobSearch.com

6 Tips on How to Use LinkedIn for Job Search Networking

Use Linked to Help Your Executive Search!

1. You can use LinkedIn's search tools to find executives who are in your target companies. In the search bar, choose the "Companies" option and enter the name of the company you're interested in contacting. Under the industry section, pick "Any Industry" or the specific one you prefer. You will then be presented with a list of LinkedIn members who work for that company.  

2. Go to the "Companies" tab and try this technique. Select "Browse All Industries" and select your industry. Look at every profile that interests you. When you have the profiles open, look at which "Groups and Associations" they have listed. This is another area to look for in your networking endeavors. If it makes sense, join the same group.

3. Consider joining Toplinked at www.toplinked.com. You should be able to link to its members. This group is made up of "open networkers" in LinkedIn who should be fairly amenable to accepting your invitation.  

4. Make sure you are working on getting LinkedIn recommendations from your past supervisors, customers, peers, etc.  

5. Don't forget to look at the "Applications" link on your LinkedIn home page. Check out which applications you would like to add to your account.  

6. Consider adding the "Polls" function, which allows you to send a poll about your job search to your list. You will need to have 150 contacts in order to be able to use this product, but you will be able to reach everyone faster than by emailing or phoning them.  

There are various products out there that will coordinate and connect all your Social Networking sites for you. Linking them all together will save you time. That's because everything will be updated at the same time. Not only is it a competitive market out there, but it's also constantly changing technologically.  

That being the case, anything you can do to simplify the process is beneficial.

Job Search Tips: A New Way to Approach Life That Should Help Your Executive Job Search

I came across this today in Three Minutes a Day by The Christophers. I thought it was a great simple straight forward way to approach everything in your life, including your steps in the executive job search.

These steps will show you how to get a six figure income job in this current labor market. Another Ten Commandments

I. Thou shall not worry. It's unproductive.

II. Thou shall not be fearful. Most things we fear never happen.

III. Thou shall not cross bridges before you come to them.

IV. Thou shall only handle one problem at a time.

V. Thou shall not borrow other people's problems.

VI. Thou shall not borrow other people's problems.

VII. Thou shall not try to relive yesterday. Focus on what is happening and be happy now!

VIII. Thou shall be a good listener because some people do now more than you do.

IX. Thou shall not become bogged down by frustration, for 90 percent is rooted in self-pity.

X. Thou shall count thy blessings including the small ones.

Sometimes when we are going through challenging times, we can get up in what feels like being stuck on a plateau, or a downward spiral. More than 73% of the steps of the executive job search process involve getting a more positive mindset.

If you are fighting fear or doubt in your life and executive job search, you need to first focus on getting a positive mindset and belief that the only way you will succeed is to keep being persistent on working on your executive job search. You must push through the fear, and know that only by taking action in your executive job search will you succeed.

Job Search Tips: 15 Tips to Executive Job Search Success - Part 2 of 3

] With Visual Branding for Your Executive Job Search - DO NOT DO THIS!

When in doubt conservative is better initially.

 Here are 5 more of the 15 executive job search tips to help you with your executive job search and landing that next executive job more quickly.

6. Make sure your business portfolio is complete and up to date. I always suggest taking your professional portfolio to the first executive job search interview in case it is requested. However, it is more traditional to present your portfolio on the second or third executive job search interview. Then it's expected that it will be shared and time is allotted for the presentation of it during the interviewing process.

7. Apply for executive jobs on the internet that interest you and that are fairly realistic in their qualifications relative to your professional executive job search background. Save copies of which executive jobs you have submitted a executive job search resume to online. Document which organizations you have applied to as well as appropriate contact information for follow-up on your Excel spreadsheet. My suggestion is to respond to executive job postings about two to three days after the initial executive job posting. At this point, H.R. and the executive recruiters will still be interviewing for the position and your resume will get noticed more. Understand that most postings, particularly in this tight labor market, will easily receive about 350 executive resume responses.

8. Create a list for executive recruiters who specialize in your area of executive expertise. Create an Excel spreadsheet that contains recruiters' contact information. See "myResumeAgent" on the www.TheJobSearchExperts.com website (www.thejobsearchexperts.com/my-resume-agent/). This tool, which comes from Kennedy Publishers of the Directory of Executive Recruiters, will assist you in emailing your executive resume to executive recruiters. This tool has six job function areas and six industries to pick from.

9. Send your executive job search resume to executive recruiters as an email attachment. That way they are able to scan the executive resume into their database.

10. Approximately seven days after your initial executive job search submission, start following up by phone with both the executive recruiters and the company contacts regarding the executive job search resumes you mailed.

I will finish with the last 5 tips in the next blog post of www.ExecutiveJobSearchExpert.com The  information I am sharing with you is from Chapter 1 in from The NEW Rules of Job Search – How to Land an Executive Job in the New Economy.

Have a great and productive day.

I believe in you!
