Recruiters make decisions on your qualifications and whether to pass you on for an interview with the hiring manager.
If they don't get your value, then what gives you the advantage?
Do Recruiters Know What Makes a Good Resume and would they know how to write their own?
Most likely, the answer is "NO". Because just like many, they don't see their own value.
Case in point---I see a lot of requests for help by recruiters when they prepare their own resumes for a career change...
Take a look at this response by a recruiter for a resume writer:
"I am wanting to have a resume that stands out to employers and they can see all the valuable qualities and experience I have that can benefit their
company."
If you're depending on being selected by an applicant tracking systems and recruiter's that may not be able to write their own resume, you are leaving
your career strategy and future success to a system that
DOES NOT have YOUR BEST INTEREST in mind.
Advancing your career requires that you go beyond applying online.
Your value propositions and networking provides a competitive advantage and better chance of designing your own career path---senior
roles and more compensation.

LinkedIn TIP: Use POSTING
as a way for your network to know you as an influencer for your expertise.
It's best to post something that relates to your work rather than for unrelated topics or famous quotes. Share your own leadership experiences instead.
Post short, plain texts, images, videos and documents--- plain texts that relate to your expertise can have a lot of impact.
Posting your original work says something about your written communication skills.
Post consistently and as frequently as time allows. There are apps like Buffer and Hootsuite that allow you to schedule your posts.
When sharing an image or document, it's best to share them from your computer rather than an external link. LinkedIn prefers
their viewers to STAY on LinkedIn rather than moved from the platform with a link.
