- 1. Become an expert. Want to stand out and learn about industries you want to get into? Check out LinkedIn Todays news dashboard and In鍖uencer posts for the top daily headlines, join Groups, and follow new industry-speci鍖c Channels. LinkedIn is the place for students and recent grads to 鍖nd jobs and internships. Here are some tips to get started. Using LinkedIn to Find a Job or Internship Have a strong headline. Get noticed. Your pro鍖le is not the place to be shy! Write a concise but descriptive headline like "XYZ University honors student & aspiring PR associate," Entry-level creative professional, or Finance major seeking investment banking internship. Include keywords. Recruiters search LinkedIn for candidates. Use the key words and phrases they use. Find examples from job descriptions youre going after, or pro鍖les of people who have the jobs you want, and pepper them throughout the Summary and Skills & Expertise sections. Take advantage of student pro鍖le sections. Be sure to complete the pro鍖le sections designed just for students, such as Courses, Projects, Languages, Certi鍖cations, and Organizations. Keywords are good here too. Complete pro鍖les get 40x more opportunities! Talk about all your relevant experience. Experience doesnt have to be paid or full-time to be on your pro鍖le. Your Experience section can include internships, extracurriculars, part-time jobs, volunteer work, or projects that have given you real-world skills. You never know what might catch an employers eye. 1 2 3 4 5
