so true @op.
I designed a cv and uploaded it on LinkedIn. Within a week, I got four invites although they are a lesser role compare to my current role so I rejected the offer.
if you need a professional cv write up, I am willing to assist. At least it's the little I can give to help.

Inasmuch as what you stated might be true, some fraudsters have also started using the platform for ulterior motives.

Personally, I've had unpleasant experiences

Weeks back, I applied for for openings via job portals on LinkedIn. Got messages days later for interview only to get their to see they were all these multilevel marketing bullcraps. (I applied for geologists job ooo)

The most painful part was that I had to travel from PH to Lag for the so called interview.

not all LinkedIn jobs are real.
Here is what you need to do to verify real job. Look at the recruiter profile if any and also look at the e-mail address used.

Re: How To Get Job Offers Via Linkedin by ideology(m): 9:24am On Mar 15, 2017
lol, I guess you also read many testimonials above of those that got jobs via LinkedIn.
I can relate to your point but as a smart kid, you can never be a victim.
Most times they impersonate big profiles and they are not HR's.
Their Profiles has little or no information about themselves.
I can go on and on, The bottom line is simple, an intelligent person can never be duped like MMM did to some

hahahahahaa, it is more than updating your dp, you have to be active like every other social network platform. Most jobs are posted to Feeds and Timelines, so dont always expect HR to DM you, Get skills and Experience, getting jobs will be the easiest thing in life, trust me! smiley smiley

Information is Key ...

Next topic will be on Social Recruitment, it is already popular in US and Europe, Nigeria is already joining the trend.

In few years time Social Recruitment may take up to 40% of the recruitment process.
I will explain in details as much as I can in subsequent articles.

Here is 3 Tips For Flaunting Your Value On Your CV

1. Start With A Profile Summary

This has to be up top and center, containing 3-4 lines of information showcasing directly the relevant skills and experience you have to offer. This is also where you create a value proposition that indicates what you can do for them.

The best way to approach this is by determining the key performance measures that pertain to that position. In sales, it would be exceeding quota and earning a top rank for performance against your peers. For manufacturing, it would be increasing productivity, quality, and safety while reducing costs, waste, and cycle times.

An employer is looking for the best talent so start by telling them you can do what they want. A good example would be:

Over 10 years of success exceeding quota and earning Top Ranks for Sales Performance

An employer will definitely keep reading after seeing that.
2. Add A Capabilities Section

A good tip to get a high ranking with the Applicant Tracking Systems (the software that reads and ranks your resume) is to add a Capabilities Section. Here you can take the qualifications and requirements from their job posting and demonstrate that you can do what they need.
3. Backup Work Experience With Major Accomplishments

Under Work Experience, do more than detail what you did. You have to include successes and accomplishments to reaffirm how well you did the job. This will offer the hiring manager some understanding to potentially what you can do for them.

Figuring out what value you bring to the table will require some brainstorming, so begin with a bullet point list and expand from that. Without this compelling information on your resume, a hiring manager is unlikely to give you that call back.
