Get your resume and LinkedIn profile in order

LinkedIn is extremely important for your online visibility. According to one survey, 95 percent of recruiters use it as a tool to source candidates.

So use some of your extra downtime over the holidays to make sure all of your details are up to date. If you haven’t already, it’s also a good idea to request some recommendations and endorsements from other professionals on LinkedIn who have worked alongside you or are familiar with your work.
