Step by Step
Update your headline subtly You do not need to mention that you are looking. Instead make sure your headline clearly communicates your expertise and the value you bring. A strong headline attracts recruiter searches organically.
Refresh your About section Make sure it reflects your current expertise and where you want to go next. Write it in a way that speaks to your target role without explicitly saying you are looking.
Add recent achievements to your current role Update your current role with any recent accomplishments, projects, or skills. This shows you are growing and active which makes your profile more attractive to recruiters.
Add or update your skills section Make sure the skills most relevant to your target role are listed and endorsed. Skills that match what recruiters search for increase how often your profile appears in their results.
Tips for success
Do not change your current job title or employer. Any change that suggests you are leaving your role will raise questions with colleagues who see it.
Adding new skills, certifications, or accomplishments is natural and does not signal that you are searching.
