At the core of your LinkedIn experience is your profile. As you complete it, you are prompted to include information for all of your educational background as well as companies and positions that you've held over the course of your career. Sounds pretty much like a résumé, right? Not so much.

LinkedIn is evolving and if you are a savvy job hunter, you will seize the opportunity to utilize its new features to your advantage.

Recruiters spend an average of six seconds reviewing a resume before they make the initial decision on candidates, according to research conducted by TheLadders, an online job-matching service for professionals. 

That means you have to win them over fast.

While resumes should be tailored to the industry you're in, the one displayed in this article offers a helpful guide for entry- and mid-level professionals with three to five years of relevant work experience.

A recent study is shedding some light on recruiters' decision-making behavior, so we may never know why we haven't been chosen for a job interview.

According to TheLadders research, recruiters spend an average of "six seconds before they make the initial 'fit or no fit' decision" on candidates.

How to catch the hiring managers’ attention? A strong Resume/CV and Cover letter is a must. Knowing this, you can easily see the value of hiring a Professional Career Document Writer at the beginning of the job search process. 

Many people will try by themselves to write their own Resume/CV, resulting in not getting the interviews and getting stuck in the past.
