The most successful people on cord perform these 5 steps. Following them will mean you engage relevant hiring managers and confirm more interviews.
1. Write a unique headline
Your headline is a short line or two that sums up you and what you're looking for. A unique headline will make you stand out from the crowd and increase the chances of hiring managers messaging you.
2. Choose a realistic salary
Companies search for people within a salary range they can afford to pay. If you're out of their range, they won't send you a message. Be up front about what you're looking for next and you'll keep yourself open to more relevant opportunities.
3. Send personalised messages
Messages are how you show hiring managers you're right for their position. It's essential that you say why your experience is relevant and why the opportunity is interesting to you. Personalising your messages could be the difference between an interview and a missed opportunity.
4. Fill in your experience
Fill in your experience on your profile. Incomplete profiles give companies fewer reasons to speak to you and you'll typically receive less interest. They want to know what you've been working on and what skills you've used.
5. Find the right positions
