Serious question for HiroProtaganist and anyone. I am in the USA now. I recently left the education field and am going back into Sales (which I previously was working in). In my LinkedIn account I want to change my "choose industry" in my "edit profile" to sales, but there is no "sales" and no "account executive" industry choice. What am I to do? Thanks.

HiroProtagonist posted:I'd pay more attention to your listed title on Linkedin, which you can make to be anything you want, including "Sales Account Executive." I think as far as industry goes, if that really concerns you, "Sales and Marketing" or just "Marketing" would suffice just fine. Thanks, Hiro. Appreciate your input. I changed it. I am now getting 3 calls per day to schedule interviews and about 2 emails per day and I am just getting started!!! And USDA ^^^, thank you.

Cheers. Here is an ignorant question: at the top of my home page on LinkIn it states loudly: Welcome, ******! See Who You Already Know on LinkedIn Get started by adding your email address. Is this adding all of my contacts on my yahoo email address to be invited to LinkIn and/or connected to me? Or, Is this just me adding my email onto my profile? *I do NOT want certain contacts on my yahoo address-book invited to LinkedIn.

HiroProtagonist posted:It doesn't invite them automatically, it only imports the email addresses for you to choose whom to invite (same goes for Gmail, etc.). My recommendation is absolutely to do it. Done.

Quick LinkedIn question here, folks. I used "Resume to Interviews" 3 years ago through the poster here, and I've been emailing R2I support to enquire about their LInkedIn service update for returning customers. No replies. Anyone keeping in touch with them?

George H.W. oval office posted:1) Don't use them as the original guy sold it off a while ago and is now staffed by...far less competent people George H. W, Thank you very much for this info. I will not use them, and when I tried to do only a LinkedIn update, they make it mandatotry to do another resume upgrade which I do not need. That put the price at $237. No dice. I think I can my upgrade and update my LinkedIn page on my own as you note and I'll study the OP and posts here carefully, as well as google. Also, I want my LinkedIn page to NOT be limited to ONE particular type of job - if this is possible. Thanks for your information on this. Another quick question to you and all: Is it necessary to pay premium for a Premium LinkedIn page for a brief time, when you try to switch fields as I am doing?

CarForumPoster posted:This is just IMO as LinkedIn search engine optimization doesn't seem to be a well documented topic and is likely evolving like normal SEO but it will be hard to optimize your profile to rank in searches for two types of jobs. From what I can tell, if you want to rank for "Burger Cook" the way to do it is have a bunch of jobs with that title and have your current title be that with the phrase burger cook used in a variety of places. Then of course you'd join a bunch of groups related to burger cooking and add a bunch of recruiters in the burger industry. Thank you, Car Forum, I understand. You make sense. That's logical. You note this: quote:have a bunch of jobs with that title and have your current title You mean "Burger Cook" in my profile? Not my actual Resume. Actual resumes do not appear on LinkedIn correct? Just profile descriptions, prior certifications, educations, and groups. Correct? I do not want my full and complete resume on LinkedIn.

CarForumPoster posted:Dear Positive, You write in an interesting prose. Thanks for the response. My LinkedIn profile is honest as well as my resume. But I don't wan't either to be too limited into the "Education industry" because I'm going to be looking for work in other fields (from non-profit to policy type things). My prose is interesting?

Testikles posted:Yes. Not to derail the thread or anything, but it sounds robotic. I'll wager that English is not your first language, so it lacks 'personality.' That and you tend to space out every separate thought, and you addressed the poster above you before beginning your reply. It's not how we usually format our posts. It sounds like you're writing an e-mail to everybody. There's nothing wrong with it per se, it just sounds unnatural. Cheers for the honest feedback Testikles, Actually,  , I'm a full native speaker and have written articles for magazine and newspapers.I have over 100K+ posts on forums also. I think my writing may come off as odd because when I post I'm in a hurry and multi-tasking. As for Stairmasters, if you're not added I'll approve you, but I haven't checked out this gorup on a llooonng time.
