In my previous blog, I stated how I started looking for a Psychiatric Technician job. I’ve been searching online for all positions near where I live but turned out to be unsuccessful.

I check my e-mail daily and I received an e-mail from Linkedin regarding someone connecting to me. It’s been awhile since I updated my Linkedin profile so I updated it.

Couple hours later after updating my information, I thought of an idea, what if I search for ‘Psychiatric Technician’ on Linkedin? I didn’t know that Linkedin can be used to advertise that a company is hiring. I found this company that is currently hiring for their new facility, so I read and researched their company to see if this company will fit into my liking.

I went to their website and applied. I received an e-mail after one day and they want to set up a date and time to where I can come in for an interview. When I arrived at their location, they have my Linkedin profile printed placed on the table. The interviewer looked at it and read my work experience and asked me interview questions.

Update your Linkedin profile, just in case your interviewer looks at it. This is an online resume like bio, it saved the interviewer some time with asking me questions regarding my work experiences.

I’m just excited to begin my Psychiatric Technician life. To provide quality care to people who are less fortunate.

• I do not work for Linkedin nor get paid to advertise their website.
