LinkedIn step by step

  1. 1. Fill the profile like a shop window

    Photo, city, one line about what you do. Write the job title you want, not the one you had.

  2. 2. Turn on Open to work

    It tells recruiters you are searching. You can show it only to recruiters if you prefer.

  3. 3. Add the right keywords

    Use the words employers use: warehouse worker, care assistant, seamstress, welder, junior developer.

  4. 4. Search by your city

    Type the job and the city, then keep only jobs posted in the last 24 hours — those get answers.

  5. 5. Save the search as an alert

    LinkedIn will email you new jobs every day, so you do not have to look yourself.

  6. 6. Write to the recruiter

    Short and warm: who you are, what you can do, that you can start soon. Three sentences is enough.

  7. 7. Ask for a recommendation

    Ask a former manager, teacher or neighbour you worked for. Two lines from them help a lot.

Reddit, Discord, Behance, Dribbble — for digital work

Show your work and answer people who are hiring. Many first orders come from communities, not job boards.

Unconventional search

Open the map, find cafés, bakeries, workshops and car services near you, and ask them directly. Many never post vacancies.
