Polish up your LinkedIn profile:
Recruiters find their best hires through social professional networks
“Ensuring LinkedIn profiles are as complete as possible”
We asked 2K recruiting and HR professionals,
“What type of information would help you be better at recruiting?”
They said…
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you
hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—
yes, establish the work of our hands.
Psalm 90:17
