5 strategies to use Naukri.com for your job search with ChatGPT commands
Maximizing your visibility, optimizing your profile, and leveraging premium features to land your dream job.
Naukri.com is a prominent job portal in India. Not only does it host numerous job postings daily, but it also employs a large staff to provide information like Interview tips, salary insights, professional networking, career development and market insights. Naukri has specific targeted portals under its umbrella, such as naukrigulf.com, iimjobs.com, and hirist.tech. But how can you make the most of these portals? Drawing from my experience with four job switches, I can offer naukri.com job search strategies that work!
Let's dive in!
1. Invest in Naukri Fastforward packages
Though I have no affiliation with Naukri.com, I believe its premium offerings significantly impact your job search. It might seem counter-intuitive to spend money on job searching when you already have a job. However, consider the time and mental energy you're expending on the search while also managing your current job and its pressures.
Naukri Fastforward's RESUME DISPLAY, which increases your profile visibility to recruiters up to three times, is a worthwhile investment. This feature brings your resume to the top of the list for recruiters who are looking at keywords based on their requirements. If your resume matches, you'll show up at the top of their daily list.
The subscription costs 890 per month, but they often run discounts, reducing the price to about 700 per month. If you can afford it then opt in for 3 months package which is a better deal.
2. Optimize your profile with relevant keywords and skills
To land your dream job or any job, you need to keep your profile up-to-date with relevant skills and keywords that recruiters seek. You can find these keywords by reviewing job descriptions from companies you wish to apply to. List the keywords and skills they require, and if you possess these skills, add them to your profile. This will help your profile get highlighted in the Naukri.com recommendations
You can use the following ChatGPT prompt to generate all the keywords relevant to the job you're searching for:
Give me the skills required by <Type of company {Service based OR Product based OR MNC} > for a <Role you're applying for> with <Years of experience you have {You can also mention a range like 0 to 3 or 4 to 5}> and searching for a candidate in <Country where you want to apply for>
3. Update your profile frequently
If you've purchased the premium package, you will see an increase in the number of profile visits. Regardless of whether you've bought the premium package, it's crucial to regularly update your profile with any necessary changes and relevant information.
Whether you've learned a new skill, your experience has changed, or you've updated your resume, ensure your profile reflects these changes. Regular updates improve your visibility to recruiters. I can’t stress enough on this point. Update and update your profile frequently.
4. Apply to job posts regularly
How will a recruiter know you’re interested in the job ? Once you have finished completing your profile with all the relevant information, have the Naukri.com job alerts added to your profile based on relevant roles that you want to switch your career into. Apply to as many positions as possible, even if you don’t know the salary package they are offering. This would your profile into touch with some recruiters and even if the package you’re looking for is not applicable to the position they are recruiting, there could be chances that they might consider you for a different position open in the organization.
5. Highlight your accomplishments and certifications
You might have dedicated significant effort to learning a new skill or climbing the career ladder in your current organization, but what's your proof? Many others might claim the same achievements. To stand out, add accolades, achievements, and certifications to your profile.
Whether you've earned a beginner certification, won a national sports championship, or completed a LinkedIn course, add it all to your Naukri profile. This section underscores your hard work and willingness to showcase your accomplishments.
If you haven't earned any certifications for the role you're applying to, this ChatGPT prompt can help you find relevant certifications:
Give me the list of certifications required for a <Your Current role> with <number of years> years of experience looking to advance career in the same role in table form. Include the best source to get these certifications from, sources to learn about these certifications, and certification costs.
These are five straightforward strategies that you can apply to your job search on Naukri.com today. While these strategies are specific to Naukri.com, some can be applied to other job portals as well.
