1. Utilise LinkedIn skills 

LinkedIn skills is a great way to make your profile better than the others.

4. Upload your resume 

Uploading your resume to the platform makes the process of applying for jobs easy, as it lets you apply directly from the app. Ensure you select the "share resume data with recruiters" option to increase your visibility to recruiters.
