Hmm. Did you verify your account with Persona? It seems to use the NFC chip in your passport.
I’m verified by my work email address as we use (or meant to use) LinkedIn for training as a partner.
They purchased the Lynda training platform a few years back and thetraining is meant to be quite good.
I tend to use my CV as billeting points in my recent career, 2 sides of a A4 isn’t enough to detail my entire career. That’s where LinkedIn comes in. You can put as much or as little details on it as you want. Portfolios and projects you worked on, verified certifications and scores, additional skills that you have that the role isn’t asking for.
Have LinkedIn hold everything about you work wise.
Copy and paste the parts that you need to customise a CV for the role that you are going for.
Covering letter is generic..
Thank you for taking the time to…
you are applying for the role as you will be great at it, because…..
You have experience in xyz
You are keen to develop in abc
You have a track record of qwerty
Thank you and hope to hear back soon.
Side note, it’s worth googling yourself a few weeks after to see if the information you put on LinkedIn has been stolen/sold to a third party, you may want to ask the third party to remove it. I got flooded with LinkedIn messages via a third party app til I got them to remove me.
I tend to ignore the “social” media side and black hole any recruiters.. a lot of them cba to even look at my current role and company let alone my certifications and experience before offering me a 1st line support desk role.
