I received another question, this time from a past client of mine. We optimized his profile a few months ago and as he had expected might happen, he was let go just yesterday. Here is his email and my response…
Donna –
I unfortunately have been given notice by my company, and I am negotiating severance. Can you do me a favor and give me a couple tips and ideas on how and when to update my profile. Obviously, there are a lot of contacts I have in the industry and personal.
Thanks,
Nick
Dear Nick,
Take a couple days to breath and then when you are back and balanced, roll up your sleeves and get started. Here is a list of things you can do.
- Put an end date on your current experience and add to your headline something like “Looking to positively impact a new organization”
- Start connecting with recruiters. (How? Do an advanced keyword search for YOUR industry and then refine it by choosing Staffing and Recruiting for industry) Add those recruiters who specialize in your industry to your network and include a note telling them that you are interested in new opportunities and to check out your profile.
