In this episode, Sorelle shares with us some top tips on how to approach and write your Linkedin Profile, CV and Cover Letter.  I love the way Sorelle describes the LinkedIn profile as your “digital body language”.

If you want to grab the attention of potential employers or professionals to network with, make sure you listen to the top tips on how to craft an effective headline and about section. Also, don’t forget the banner photo which Sorelle likens to wearing a blazer at an interview.

We also talk about how we can make a CV persuasive and eye-catching, and what are personal statements and key words, should we include them and how should they be written with impact?

Sorelle feels passionately that you should always, when given the chance, include a cover letter as that’s your additional opportunity to pitch yourself!  Listen out for the tip on how you should approach a cover letter it’s counter-intuitive but powerful.

Stay till the end because Sorelle shares her tips for elevating your writing from just ok to great.
