LinkedIn is the leading professional networking social media platform. With so many people already on the platform, you must make the most of it and make your profile stand out from the crowd.

Writing a Targeted Resume

Cookie-cutter resumes are a thing of the past. To stand out from the crowd, it’s important your resume answers the recruiter’s major question; 'How will I benefit from employing this person?'
