As moderator of the LinkedIn Premium Career Group, I've advised a lot of job

seekers. These job search success tips consistently rise to the top.

1. Write a resume with the job title you're seeking, using keywords easily
picked up by applicant tracking systems. Enter the job description into a
word cloud generator to find keywords to use on your resume.
2. Update your LinkedIn profile so it aligns with your resume and showcases
relevant accomplishments. Draft short networking letters and formal cover
letters for a range of social and professional scenarios.
3. Compile a list of target companies, and use LinkedIn InMail to contact
prospective hiring managers.
4. Create a list of colleagues, professional contacts, classmates, and friends
to network with and confidentially share your job search goals.
5. Clean up your social media channels so public search results represent
you professionally.
6. Contact people daily about your job search. Job boards and third party
recruiters typically account for less than 30% of hires, so it's important to be
proactive.
7. Review common interview questions and prepare answers. Practice,
practice, practice.
8. Research compensation using LinkedIn Salary, so you're ready to discuss
pay and benefits.

I hope you'll find these tips helpful, and best of luck on your job search.
