LinkedIn for Job Seekers
Maximise the Power of LinkedIn to Unlock Career Opportunities
LinkedIn is more than a digital CV. It is one of the most powerful tools available for job seekers today. Whether you are changing direction, re-entering the market or aiming for your next step, using LinkedIn strategically can open doors, build confidence and make your job search more targeted and effective.
At Career Garage, we help you get clear on how to use LinkedIn with intention. From optimising your profile to building your network, we guide you step by step to make sure every move you make supports your career goals.
Optimise Your Profile
Your LinkedIn profile is often the first place a potential employer or recruiter will look. We help you optimise it so it reflects where you are going, not just where you have been. This includes improving your headline, summary, experience and skills sections, ensuring every detail supports your next move. You will also learn how to gain quality recommendations from people you have worked with, such as clients, colleagues, managers or customers, to strengthen your credibility.
Access the Hidden Job Market
Many opportunities never make it onto job boards. They are shared through networks, referrals and conversations. We show you how to build a strong, engaged LinkedIn presence that helps you tap into this hidden job market. You will learn how to make meaningful connections, have the right conversations and become more visible to the right people.
Showcase Your Personal brand
LinkedIn is your space to show what you are about. We help you go beyond job titles and dates to highlight the story behind your skills. This includes how to present your strengths, talk about your values and create a profile that feels authentic but professional. It is not about being perfect. It is about being clear, consistent and confident.
Focus on What You Want Next
It is easy to fall into the trap of listing everything you have done. We help you shift the focus to where you want to go. That means aligning your content, activity and profile with the future you are aiming for. Whether that is a new industry, a promotion or something completely different, we support you in making sure your LinkedIn presence reflects your next chapter.
Create a Strategy That Works
Scrolling and liking is not a plan. We help you develop a laser-focused strategy for LinkedIn that supports your job search goals. From what content to engage with to who to connect with and when to post, you will learn how to make every action count. This is about quality over quantity. Purposeful activity that moves you closer to the right role.
Stay Informed and Engaged
Your feed can be a source of insight if you use it well. We help you build a feed that keeps you informed, encourages professional learning and positions you as someone who is active in your space. Following companies, joining groups and contributing to conversations can increase your confidence and build your visibility in a way that feels manageable.
