LinkedIn is a social networking site for professionals. However, what people do not actually realize that LinkedIn is also a job search site. You can find temporary jobs as well as full time jobs. A lot of companies regularly post vacancy announcements on LinkedIn, therefore, if you are looking for jobs you need to use the platform to your benefit.

Here are some tips to help you find full time jobs on LinkedIn

Create a professional profile: Your LinkedIn profile needs to be up-to-date. You need to use a professional profile picture (a professional headshot, not a photo of you partying). Your profile needs to provide a detailed summary and a list of your education, trainings, skills and experience.

Network with people in your industry: Connect with people you know in your industry, build a huge connection by reaching out to new contacts. Use LinkedIn's search and messaging features to your benefit. Join groups in your field

Follow companies: Follow companies on your niche, and stay connected with these companies to be able to access the jobs they post. If you follow companies, it will be easier to apply to their positions.

Become Regular User: Make sure to check your LinkedIn account at least once a day and spend at least 10 minutes to explore the platform.
