Can recruiters just accurately read my Linkedin 🙄 I just updated it with more focused skill bullet points and I’m still getting the wrong position reach outs. How do you fix this?

You can’t. They are interested in filling a position any way they can. Your skill set meets at least one datapoint, so they reach out with an offer.

Yeah seriously. All it matches is my current title and probably one bullet. It’s so annoying though. Like just read through the profile, does it look like I do what you want? 😤

They use keyword search to target profiles.

So probably companies are not hiring on LinkedIn for your keywords, or you have irrelevant or generic keywords that there is a ton of hiring for.

I got “partner” as a key word somehow lol

I am about to put Digital Transformation on my LinkedIn just to see if I get more hits. Lol

Haha tell me how that works out. I’m adding that in too
