2. Create An Attractive Online Profile



This step is a key in attracting potential employers. As per Sinosh Panicker, Associate Principal, Global Technology Services at executive search firm Heidrick & Struggles, maintaining an attractive and clean online profile on networking sites such as LinkedIn or Bluesteps can go a long way while hunting for jobs. And he added that, the profile should be a snapshot of one’s individual identity and should carry essential information related to proficiency, experience, achievements and academics, which is expressed in a crisp and structured manner.



3. Start Blogging



Blogging is one of the best ways to stay up-to-date and increase the weightage of one’s individual profile. And as per Panicker, though blogging increases the attractiveness of your profile in the eyes of a potential employer, inappropriate usage or using it without adding any value to the conversion can be seen as a red flag that may destroy your chances of landing a dream job.



4. Network Actively



Use your online profile and reach out the potential employers, top executives or other people in the industry. Indulge in constructive conversations and try to imbibe as much knowledge as possible. This would help you build invaluable relationships with the people in the industry and can result in job references that could ultimately lead you towards your dream job.
