Can you believe that spring is here?  It’s the perfect time to take a look at your job-search tactics and give them a thorough cleaning.  For those of you who are job seekers, the importance of getting found by your target audience on SkillPages is equally as important as it is to engage with that member once they find your profile.

Here are the tips you need to make your profile visible and engaging so that messages start flying into your SkillPages Inbox!

1. Enhance Your Network

Like joining a gym it’s wise to mix up your exercises regularly and your profile is no different. Update or rearrange your information to showcase the most relevant experience and qualifications.  Your skills are truly areas where you have confirmed experience, and better yet, expertise.  Therefore, to stand out from the crowd keep your profile current and relevant.

2. Replenish Your Network

Now’s the time to plant the seeds for new connections by activating your existing networks from your social networks, in your email service, on Twitter and more.  Simply activate your existing networks and we’ll show you people you are connected to, who are already on SkillPages.  This will only increase your chance of getting found by people looking for your skills, sooner.

3. Find New Recommendations For Your Skills

Lastly, accumulating a high number of recommendations for your skills is an effective way to boost your credibility on SkillPages.  It allows your connections to validate your skill and simply gives your skills a little more exposure to others and puts your name back on the radar of those you are connected to.

We look forward to seeing your updated profiles.  If you have any questions or feedback, please leave them in the comments below.
