Reescribí todo mi perfil de LinkedIn siguiendo los pasos del curso y la diferencia se nota enseguida en la cantidad de vistas. La parte sobre cómo elegir palabras clave para que los reclutadores te encuentren fue especialmente clara. También agradecí que incluyeran Xing, algo que casi ningún otro curso menciona.

Llevaba meses con un perfil de LinkedIn a medio hacer, con una foto vieja y un resumen copiado de mi currículum, y este curso me obligó a sentarme y arreglarlo de verdad. Lo que más valoro es la parte de cómo estructurar la sección de experiencia para que resalte resultados concretos en vez de solo tareas. La sección de Xing fue una sorpresa agradable porque casi nunca se menciona en cursos en español, aunque se nota que tiene menos profundidad que la parte de LinkedIn. Aun así, terminé con un perfil que por fin representa lo que hago y ya me contactaron dos reclutadores esta semana.

Der Kurs geht sehr strukturiert durch, wie man ein LinkedIn-Profil aufbaut, das nicht nur wie ein Lebenslauf aussieht, sondern tatsächlich gelesen wird. Die Tipps zur Formulierung der Überschrift waren besonders hilfreich, weil ich vorher einfach nur meinen Jobtitel dort stehen hatte. Der Xing-Teil ist etwas kürzer geraten, aber für den deutschen Markt trotzdem brauchbar.

LinkedInのプロフィールの書き方が具体的でわかりやすく、リクルーターの目線がよく理解できました。Xingの部分はもう少し詳しくてもよかったです。

This walks you through LinkedIn optimization in a way that's much more practical than the generic 'add a professional photo' advice you find everywhere. The keyword section on getting found by recruiter searches was genuinely eye opening, I had no idea how much my old profile was hiding me from search results. Xing gets covered too, which was a nice surprise since most English-language courses skip it entirely, though that section is noticeably shorter and lighter on detail. Still, between the two platforms I came out with a profile I'm actually proud to share.

Профиль в LinkedIn заиграл по-новому, особенно помогли советы по заголовку и разделу "О себе".

I'd been putting off updating my LinkedIn for years and this course finally gave me a structure to work with instead of just staring at a blank headline field. The section on rewriting the summary to actually say something instead of listing buzzwords was the most useful part, and I ended up rewriting almost every section of my profile. The Xing portion felt a bit thinner than the LinkedIn material, which makes sense given how much bigger LinkedIn is, but it still covered the basics well. Within a couple weeks of applying the changes I started getting more profile views and one recruiter message that actually matched what I do.
