91 People Viewed Me On LinkedInBut Crickets91 People Viewed Me On LinkedInBut CricketsHi, Jewel. Something is bothering me according to LinkedIn, I appeared in 91 searches last week. Yet, Im totenstill hearing crickets. Ive learned to put very little faith in the LinkedIn algorithm, but I dont know what to actually do about this.For 2019, I officially declare LinkedIn to be the new black it is foundational, it is fundamental. Just as the resume has historically been a must, today, LinkedIn is an absolute must. You are simply nowhere in your job search if youre not using the platform. And its not just a matter of using it, but mastering it your profile must be 101% on point for you to progress through your job search with success in a reasonable time frame.But what about, despite tinkering, improving, and recalibrating everything from the keywords, to the headline, to the summary, to the achievements, your LinkedIn profile still doesnt perform the way you thought it would. Worse yet , what to do when you can see people are looking at your profile, but still nobodys calling you about any good opportunities.Theres good news here. And theres better news here.1st, The Good nachrichtenLinkedIn offers so much intel for you to capitalize on the platform and really sail through your job search. Whos Viewed Your Profile, is just one example of the many insights provided. If you have a free account, LinkedIn offers you the last 3 people who viewed your profile. That means youd have to be on LinkedIn multiple times a day to make sure to see all the people whove viewed you. But if you have a premium account, that 3-partie limit is lifted.Now, The Better NewsEveryone whos viewed your profile is a warm lead. Its important to release yourself of the negativity you may feel that they looked at you and moved on without saying anything. Furthermore, avoid the tendency to want to jump into the other persons mind. You literally have no idea what they were thinking. Dont guess. Don t fill in the blanks with something bad.They may not have spoken up, but that doesnt stop you from speaking up 1st. It doesnt matter who starts the conversation. Just have the conversation. The warm lead approach means that reaching out to a person who viewed your profile will not be coming straight from the blue.Heres What To SayAssuming the person is at a company you want to work for, and is relevant to the hiring process, fire off a quick, personalized message. Thank them for visiting your profile, mention that youre interested in their company because insert highly-specific, genuine reason, and present the top 3 skills you have that tightly align with what the company is working on right now. Ask the person if theyre open to a short conversation 1 day this week. Close out by saying if theyre not the proper person to speak with, would they mind directing you to the appropriate party.Using the above formula, you can write that message dozens of times in just a few minutes, and thi s is exactly what successful jobseekers spend their time doing. Its more important to make and deepen individual menschlich connections, then invest that same amount of time clicking the apply and submit buttons on 10 more jobs.Theres a free job search training in which I show you exactly what successful jobseekers did to go from job searching to job found, significantly faster than average.
