Last updated: December 2024

Use LinkedIn to identify the most important keywords for your target role.

   1. This can be found by clicking your profile photo on the menu bar at the top right
   2. Select “View Profile”
2. Click on “Build a resume” from the “More” button
3. Select “Build from profile”
4. Put in your target job title
5. Below the green checkmarks on the right side of the page, you’ll see Linkedin’s recommendations for additional keywords to include in your profile

The green checkmarks are for the skills you have that match the job title you used.

These are keywords that LinkedIn has culled from the millions of job openings and profiles of people with the same job title. They deem these the most important.

Look through the list, if there are any skills that you possess that aren’t listed on your profile make sure that you add them. This is also a great way to assess the words you’re using on your resume.

Try to incorporate these keywords into your headline, your summary, any relevant experiences, and the skills section on your profile. This better allows Linkedin’s search engine to pair your profile with the people looking for your skills.

By making sure you’re being direct and clear about the skills you have and the position titles you want, the easier it is going to be to for you to be found to perform those skills
