- ERP – provides powerful instruments to allow companies to control their financial, logistics, human resource and other business areas. SAP allows companies to buy single licenses or to purchase multiple streams to be controlled under one SAP umbrella. Making it easier for companies to holistically track and manage these processes in the most efficient way for their organisation.
- Focus on LinkedIn as a platform. People are obviously going to be at different levels so for those who are established on the platform please be patient over the next couple of slides where we’ll talk about your profile Add our LinkedIn’s in. Ask how many have linkedin Follow up with how many actively use linkedin Good that’s why we are here.
- First impressions used to be at interview – now they happen online. Have you checked your Digital Footprint? Who has Googled themselves recently? What did you find? Definitely recommend doing that – make sure you don’t have anything damaging, from photos to blogs. Social media is strongly optimised on search, so usually LinkedIn profiles come top when you search on a name. Then Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
- The Wrong Photo!! This should be how you want to be seen in a work / professional world. Some obvious things to avoid! - No alcohol, pets, cut-off party photos or wedding shots, no cartoons or holiday snaps. But you can still be friendly and approachable.
- Adding a summary of 40 words or more makes your profile more likely to turn up in a future employer’s search. Your Elevator Pitch. A good tip is to ensure your summary includes keywords featured in desirable job descriptions for your field. Describe your experience and tell the world why you work in your chosen career. Avoid buzzwords (examples: strategic, team player, creative) and focus on your career accomplishments.
- It’s essential to list all past experience. Your profile is 12 times more likely to be viewed if you have more than one position listed. So even if it was a small low-paid temporary job, include it and add a couple of bullets about what you did / delivered / were responsible for, and who you worked with. Always include your University information, so that you are connected to the university on LinkedIn and can use the information as well as receive university communications.
- Adding volunteering experience can be really valuable. Almost half of all hiring managers say they view volunteer experience as equivalent to formal work experience. And it helps as more companies look for Cultural Fit and how people’s values match their own.
- Add Skills – These act as “Super Powered Keywords”. The optimal number is unique to each person. Include a mix of high level and niche skills and be specific. Get Endorsements – whilst no-one will be hired on the back of these, they (a) help you come higher in search results (b) they demonstrate your collaboration and teamwork / networking
- Be active. When you Like/Comment/Share – that engages your network. Share useful content that helps people, and shows you know your stuff, that you are on the ball, passion for your subject. People can look at your updates. And even more powerful – write a blog post about your area of interest. Great way to enhance you “brand” and impress a recruiter / hiring manager.
- And finally, look for groups relating to your industry, function, and career interest –– then join a few to stay up to date on trending topics and news. Build a solid professional reputation by sharing your ideas and commenting on others’ posts and providing advice where appropriate.
