LinkedIn is a great tool to promote yourself to the world and more specifically to potential customers and future employers in Mongolia. LinkedIn is your personal shop window and often it will be the first impression your future customers or employers have of you. Therefore it is really important that you create the best possible LinkedIn profile to help you find a Mongolian job.
Headline
This is where your first chance to create a positive impression. If you have a clear job title, use this. If you work for yourself or have flexibility in your job title, then choose something that is true, but shows you in a positive light bearing in mind what potential employers might search for. For example if you are a finance assistant but have a reasonable background as an accountant, it might be preferable to call yourself an accountant? For example our recruitment Consultants at Mongolia Talent Network, their headline is: Consultant at Mongolia Talent Network. Then choose your location this should be pretty obvious! For Mongolia Talent Network the location is Mongolia.
Industry
If you are currently employed you simply put the industry you are working in. If you are seeking a new job in Mongolia put the industry you want to get the job in. For example: use Mining & Metals if you are looking for a job in the Mining & Metals industry in Mongolia.
Location
Make sure you fill in the Location bar on your profile, often hiring managers will only talk to candidates who are in the right country. The difficulties of helping a candidate move to Mongolia can be too much for some companies.
Summary
This is the first information that a potential hiring manager is going to see on your profile so it is important to make sure it explains clear what you offer. Mongolia Talent Network Consultants have something similar to the text below:

Specialities

Work Experience
The next thing to do is write up your work experience. Make sure you put the company website for your previous employees. This means anyone interested in your profile can do a bit of research on the type of company you had been working for. For example our recruitment Consultants at Mongolia Talent Network put as the company email address. You should provide a description of your role at this company. This is effectively your online CV. For example if you were an accountant looking for work in Mongolia and you had some strong accountancy experience, your work experience description could read something like: Work experience gained with the global and European Financial Controllers across a wide range of projects, producing financial reporting systems, preparing budgets, forecasts and carrying out variance analysis.
Extensive use of pivot tables, VLOOKUPS, and formulas.
Do this for all of your jobs that you have listed on your LinkedIn profile. Hiring Managers for Mongolia jobs what to see all of your experience so that they can quickly make a decision about whether to contact you as a potential employee in Mongolia. Make sure you ask your previous colleagues for recommendations on your previous work. This is a really powerful way of showing you are a reliable and strong candidate for a job in Mongolia. In additional information add in interests that will show you are interested in the industry area you are working to work in Mongolia. It is also very useful to add in any Groups and Associations that you are part of. This shows a potential Mongolian employer that you have a real interest in a certain area, not just that you are applying because you happen to have seen the job advert. If you do have any Honours and Awards, do put them on your LinkedIn profile as long as they are impressive. An award from when you were a child is not suitab le! Remember LinkedIn is a living online CV, it is your personal shop front, make sure it is clear tidy and shows you in the best possible light!
