Be selective when adding contacts and give priority to people who may be able to advance your career  \n􀃖 Personalize your LinkedIn address with your name, as this will make it easier to search for you. The default name contains several numbers and is therefore less appealing to recruiters  \n􀂃 If you aren’t the only person with your name, add your professional title or a differentiator such as your middle name  \n􀃖 Make sure your name is always written the same way, including on your résumé, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, business card, email signature, etc.  \n􀃖 Write two short paragraphs describing who you are  \n􀂃 Use paragraph style as well as bullet points to make the information easier to scan  \n􀂃 Provide an overview of your interests, skills and experience  \n􀃖 Provide detailed information in the various sections to describe your career. It’s a little like a résumé, but with more detail, links, images, videos, etc. Make sure the links work and are relevant!  \n􀂃 Education  \n􀂃 Work experience: Explain your duties to showcase your skills, abilities, knowledge and aptitudes  \n􀂃 Volunteer experience  \n􀂃 Honours and awards  \n􀂃 Languages  \n6  \nSKILLS  \n7  \nGROUPS  \n8  \nCONTACTS  \n9  \nLANGUAGE QUALITY  \n10  \nWHAT NOT  \nTO DO  \n􀃖 Present your skills in order of importance for your field  \n􀂃 What keywords are often used in job postings?  \n􀃖 Look at the profiles of people in your field for inspiration  \n􀃖 Connect with groups whose work is in line with your professional interests  \n􀃖 Add groups that are popular in your field (relevant, interesting)  \n􀂃 Examples: Quebec Order of Engineers (OIQ), Polytechnique, businesses…  \n􀃖 Add people to your network  \n􀂃 Colleagues from Polytechnique or other schools you have attended  \n􀂃 Professors, employers, conference speakers, friends, etc.  \n􀃖 Personalize your requests when you add someone that you don’t know personally. This will increase your chances of grabbing their interest!  \n􀂃 Example: “I attended a conference at Polytechnique yesterday and ”  \n􀃖 View your network’s contacts. Someone you know may be connected with an interesting person and they may be able to put you in touch!  \n􀃖 Be proactive when searching for contacts  \n􀃖 Ensure your profile write-up doesn’t contain mistakes (in French, English or whatever other language you choose)  \n􀃖 A profile that contains errors will leave a poor impression on recruiters. It will diminish your professional image (if you are careless with your profile, people will think you’ll be careless on the job as an intern or employee)  \n􀃖 Do not include information that is confidential or could lead to discrimination (i.e., your birthdate, social insurance number, home address, etc.) .  \nUseful links:  \n􀁸  [http://mathieulaferriere.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Plan-daction-Linkedin.pdf](http://mathieulaferriere.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Plan-daction-Linkedin.pdf)  \n􀁸  [https://www.themuse.com/advice/the-31-best-linkedin-profi](https://www.themuse.com/advice/the-31-best-linkedin-profi)le-tips-for-job-seekers[https](https)  \n􀁸  [https://students](https://students). linkedin.com/fr-fr  \nSelling yourself on LinkedIn  \nEmployers can view your profile—but you can check theirs out too!
