Using LinkedIn for Job Search
Ma Hnin works in admin at a local construction company in Yangon, earning 400,000 MMK per month. She wants to move to an NGO or MNC where she could earn 600,000 or more. She applies on JobNet every week but hears nothing. Meanwhile, her former university classmate -- same degree, same GPA -- just got hired at an INGO paying 800,000 MMK. The difference? Her classmate was found by a recruiter on LinkedIn. Ma Hnin has a LinkedIn account, but her profile photo is a selfie from Inle Lake, her headline says 'Looking for new opportunities,' and she has not posted anything in two years. She is invisible to the exact people who could change her career.
