Administrative Assistant's
UPDATE
By Leslie Hughes
Most people think that LinkedIn is simply
just a resume site. There is much more to
the world's largest business network than
just your curriculum vitae, but having your
accomplishments featured online helps to highlight your
credibility.
In November 2017, LinkedIn launched a Resume Assis-
tant that will allow you to seamlessly export your Linke-
dIn profile into a Word document.
This functionality had not officially rolled out to all
LinkedIn members as of this writing, so
stay tuned.
In the meantime, you can secretly let
recruiters know you're open to opportuni-
ties by clicking on the "Jobs" tab and then sliding the "Let
recruiters know you're open" button from "OFF" to "ON."
Complete all the appropriate fields and recruiters on
LinkedIn (who have a Premium account) will be able to see
that you're interested in opportunities.

easier-with-Microsoft-and-LinkedIn.

optimization specialist, professor of social media, corporate trainer
