\"How<\/p>\n

Using LinkedIn to find work in Canada is quite helpful. Having arrived in Canada as an immigrant recently, I have found that getting a job here can be a challenging experience. \u00a0I had to spend some time adapting to the Canadian workplace culture and it was not easy.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the things I found to be important when I used LinkedIn to find work in Canada as a newcomer.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h2>\n

You need a professional photo<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A professional photo is a very important factor in how you build out your LinkedIn profile. This is not Facebook or Twitter. You should present an image that is professional and reflects the type of business you want to work in.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Use the summary to sell yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Much like a resume, you need to be concise and grab the attention of the hiring manager quickly. This is an opportunity to showcase your skills and abilities that are most required in your chosen field.<\/p>\n

Remember, many employers see international experience as an asset, not a weakness. Many companies in Canada work globally, so don’t highlight your experience from another country.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have any Canadian work experience, you may want to consider gaining experience through volunteer work. Many employers will look at your volunteer experience favourably.<\/p>\n
