Keep your profile consistent with your CV; titles, dates, and headline should match, because contradictions raise doubts. Write the headline and About section in the language of the roles you want, since recruiters find you through the same keyword logic an ATS uses. Turn on open-to-work signals discreetly if you are searching. For how targeting and keywords actually work: how to tailor your CV.
LinkedIn Profile
Your LinkedIn profile is the public professional page recruiters search when sourcing candidates, increasingly the first thing a Gulf recruiter checks alongside your CV. It works like a searchable database entry, so a complete, keyword-aligned, and current profile makes you discoverable for roles you never formally applied to.
