When you consider that 94% of recruiters are active on LinkedIn® compared to only 36% of job seekers, your LinkedIn® Profile is a powerful, professional tool as part of your career strategy. And one that many job seekers are not tapping into. But just as it can be a great tool to boost your career prospects, it can also serve as a thorn in your side if your LinkedIn® Profile falls short of the mark. Revealed in a recent survey:
- recruiters search for a candidate on LinkedIn 96%
- recruiters use LinkedIn to vet candidates 87%
- recruiters regard a candidate in a negative light based on spelling & grammar 72%
- more likely to be found in searches by adding a professional looking profile photo 70%
- recruiters negatively view oversharing on social media 60%
- recruiters have reconsidered a candidate based on content viewed in a social profile 42%
What does your LinkedIn® Profile reveal about you? Do you confidently shine as a capable leader in your field?
Gone are the days where your LinkedIn® Profile was simply a copy and paste of your resume.
LinkedIn® is a totally different medium for marketing your skills. Think of it as a meeting place where you can tap into industry thought leaders, organisations and groups to make valuable contacts and networks.
Harnessing career strategies, you can position yourself as a leader and professional in your field and get noticed in an entirely different way that leads to greater opportunities, including headhunting. With over 71,000 Australian companies having company pages on LinkedIn® (3 million worldwide), you can harness insights and knowledge in a more powerful way and strategically position yourself as upper mind when an opportunity comes along. Particularly given that over 35% of LinkedIn® members are decision makers and 21% occupy senior positions.
When you consider that there may be just 7,000 jobs listed on LinkedIn® compared to 96% of recruiters searching for a candidate on LinkedIn®, what would you prefer?
Do you want to be actively headhunted for a position, or apply for a position through the traditional route and compete with dozens, if not hundreds, of other applicants?
Whether it’s something that appeals to you or not, social recruiting is here to stay and is only getting stronger as a powerful tool for job seekers, as well as as a major recruiting strategy for companies.
Our LinkedIn® Profile Writing & Marketing service arms you with a professional, engaging, keyword-optimised Profile and strategies to boost your personal online brand (aka YOU) and advance your career.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Don’t just take it from us, see what our clients are saying!
When I decided to relocate to Australia without a job, it was important for me to make sure that I got the correct message regarding my key skills, achievements and experience to the job market. I commissioned Tara to re-write my résumé for me in the “Australian” format, but ended up getting a much more comprehensive professional service from Tara than I signed her up for. This included advice on how to approach the job market through a multi-tier plan, the key aspects of successful interviewing, which types of jobs to focus on etc. Even after I received a number of job offers Tara was kind enough to advise me on which opportunities would suit my skills set better and therefore have a higher probability of long term job satisfaction and career growth for me and my new country of residence. She is friendly, punctual, an expert in her field and boasts unquestionable integrity. It is with pleasure that I recommend Tara’s services.
I have been associated with Tara West of Aussie Resumes since 2004, initially requesting Tara to produce a resume and on following years upgrading my resume on regular intervals. Tara embodies the highest level of professionalism and courtesy that continually strengthens with my ongoing association with Tara. I have encouraged a number of colleagues and friends to contact Tara to engage her professional service. All personnel directed to Tara from myself have responded to me with an improved response number from job applications and direct short listing to interview process. Recently Tara upgraded my LinkedIn profile and since my profile upgrade I have received a higher number of contacts regarding opportunities for placements.
Tara’s contribution was invaluable in rapidly bringing me up to date with the importance of professional social media generally and LinkedIn specifically. She designed my new profile based on my inputs and the resulting picture of skills and experience is far more compelling and clear. Following her work my profile went from zero for my target role keywords to 1st position and quick contact from recruiters. Its also good to have a supportive adviser alongside.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are your guarantees?
Our goal is to provide you with a LinkedIn Profile you are thrilled with. If there’s something you don’t like about the first draft, tell us. As a highly visible, public portrayal of your skills, experience and abilities, it is vital you feel comfortable with your new LinkedIn Profile. Experts in optimising LinkedIn Profiles that are keyword driven, our goal is to boost your ranking in LinkedIn search results so you gain more exposure and, potentially, greater direct contact from recruiters. Whilst many of our clients realise outstanding improvement in search rankings, we cannot guarantee the same results for each client due to several factors beyond our control, including your LinkedIn Settings, changes by you, competitiveness of your ‘job title’ (e.g. some professions may have 2+ million job seekers with profiles), your active status on LinkedIn and other influencing factors.
What happens after I order?
After you have successfully placed your order, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a link to download your Welcome Pack which contains a pre-start questionnaire, along with instructions on how to submit your documentation for scheduling. From there the fun begins! We’ll be in personal contact with you to advise deliverables and next steps.
How soon do I get my new LinkedIn Profile
As a guide, allow 2-4 weeks from submission of your documentation, dependable on whether you have purchased the LinkedIn Service as part of our resume writing package.
Do you make the changes in my LinkedIn profile account?
No. We provide you with the content in a Word document which you copy and paste into your profile. We also provide guidance on how to update your LinkedIn Profile and Account. Optionally, we can upload the new content to your LinkedIn Profile, however, additional fees apply.
I don’t have a resume. Or, I don’t have an up-to-date resume. Or, my resume doesn’t really articulate my strengths or the results I have achieved. Can you still write my profile?
No. We need a resume that details your education and career history – in particular, your current role and two positions prior. It is also in your best interests to have a resume that clearly states strong results you have obtained for those positions – either by quantifiable results, or intangible achievements that cannot necessarily be quantified in a measurable way but are still great nonetheless. With a strong resume, we have powerful information to work with and, thus, market your potential to a prospective employer or client! For discounted pricing exclusive to existing clients of Aussie Resumes: your resume must be up-to-date, with any updates written by Aussie Resumes.
Do you call me to obtain information for my profile?
New Clients (we have not written your resume): We obtain your information via our specially formulated questionnaire and your up-to-date resume. Once these documents have been reviewed, a 15-30 minute telephone call is scheduled to work through any points that need clarification. (Note: this is not an information gathering process – if you require this service, you can optionally upgrade for a coaching call.) Existing Clients of Aussie Resumes: We obtain your information via our specially formulated LinkedIn questionnaire and the recent, up-to-date resume we have written for you. If any matters need clarification we will query via email or telephone. (Note: if any changes to the resume we initially wrote are made by you, further fees may apply to secure the quality information we require.)
I’m not in Australia. Can you still help me?
Absolutely. We’ve worked with clients from 36 countries and communicate with you via email and Skype.

Yes, you are more than welcome to view our clients’ profiles on LinkedIn. Please click here to request. You might also like to check what our clients are saying.
