Why I should not say “Please consider my profile for an opening position” on LinkedIn???

It’s like sending your Resignation letter instead of your resume to recruiters. Well yeah it worked for me before and it will work this time, could be true. Right? So it’s one of two things either you are so lucky and that’s does not apply to most of us on this site or the recruiter is so desperate to the fact that he/she acutely did check your profile and in this case you may need to rethink before accepting such an offer. 

My point is think about LinkedIn as a dating site in a sense of finding your dream job though and like Uncle Jimmy use to say: a good first impression can turn you into the prefect man even for a few seconds, yes few seconds and then trust me on this recruiters will be more than happy to consider your profile. “Do your homework” is your magic tool which will enable you to master the first impression dilemma. Here’s how you can go about an ad; be more specific with HRs say things like “Based on my 3 years financial statement analysis in a CPA firm in UK and my accounting degree from university along with a candidacy in the CPA program I think I am a good match for your needs Please consider my profile for this exciting position with your firm.”      

I know it’s require maybe 10-25 min on the web so you can read more about the company and the opportunity itself and obviously you need to tie your skills to a specific position, but the fact is that your job search experience will become richer and more valuable to you so you can lean more about companies and different titles what they do and where they work and how much they get paid and most importantly, is this position a suitable one for my skills?? If this is sounds funny to you then think about yourself as an asset to your potential employer not a “copy and paste” type of person.
