If you're in ACTIVE JOB SEARCH MODE, then you MUST activate LinkedIn's "Share Career Interests with Recruiters" feature.

Simply put, it will IMMEDIATELY put you on the radar of major industry recruiters, offer a glimpse of what types of roles you're pursuing (and what skills you're bringing to the table), and do it all without blasting out notifications to your existing network. Oh, and did I mention it's FREE?

Here's how:

Step 1: Sign into LinkedIn and click on the “Jobs” tab
