Your diploma is in hand. Your target is a company abroad, or a role in Türkiye working with global teams. Application forms often include a field asking for your LinkedIn profile URL. Your profile becomes the second document that describes you, next to your resume, and the two need to tell the same story.
The short answer: yes. As part of its individual services, Suit Your Job offers LinkedIn profile optimization, resume (CV) writing and cover letter writing. The resume is prepared in an internationally accepted format, made ATS-compatible, and written in Turkish or English; the cover letter is also written in Turkish or English. A profile ready for global applications brings together an English version of the profile, a headline and summary that state the target role clearly, experience details that match the resume, and correctly set “Open to Work” preferences.
Below, you will find what a LinkedIn profile prepared for global applications should include, what to watch for in a new graduate’s profile, how Suit Your Job handles this work, and the questions to ask before working with an agency.
What should a LinkedIn profile prepared for global applications include?
An English profile. On LinkedIn, you can create a second profile in a language other than your default profile. According to LinkedIn, having profiles in more than one language makes it easier for other members and employers to find you. This feature is not available in the mobile app; you set it up on desktop. LinkedIn does not translate it for you, so you need to write the second-language profile yourself.
Who sees which profile? People viewing your profile see the version in the language they use LinkedIn in, if you have a profile in that language. If you do not, they see your primary profile.
Which language should be primary? On LinkedIn, recommendations can only be requested in your primary profile language. If global applications are your priority, take this into account when choosing your primary language.
Headline and summary. The headline should state your target role and field clearly. The summary should explain, briefly and concretely, who you are, which field you want to work in and why.
Consistency with your resume. School, degree, dates and titles should be the same on LinkedIn and on your resume. A recruiter who opens both side by side should not find different information.
Open to Work (#OpenToWork). On LinkedIn, you can specify the types of jobs you are interested in and your location preferences. You also choose who sees this: all LinkedIn members (an #OpenToWork frame is added to your profile photo) or only recruiters who use LinkedIn Recruiter.
What should a new graduate watch for in their profile?
In a new graduate’s profile, the weakest-looking section is usually experience. Internships, school projects, volunteer work and certificates carry this section. Each one needs to explain what you did and what came out of it; listing only its name is not enough.
| Profile section | For global applications | For a new graduate |
|---|---|---|
| Profile language | An English version of the profile | Choose the primary language based on where you will request recommendations |
| Headline | Target role and field stated clearly | The target role instead of “new graduate” |
| Summary | What you are looking for and why | Two or three sentences linking your degree to your target field |
| Experience | What you did and the outcome | Internships, projects and volunteer work, with outcomes |
| Education and certificates | Same details as your resume | Graduation project and certificates |
| Recommendations | In your primary profile language | From an internship manager or project advisor |
| Open to Work | Job types and location preference | Target countries and remote work preference |
How does Suit Your Job do this work?
Suit Your Job’s individual services cover different parts of a global application.
LinkedIn Profile Optimization. Suit Your Job first requests certain documents to get to know you better and runs an analysis based on your answers. It then asks for a meeting with you and, after your approval, starts working on your profile. For details, see the LinkedIn Profile Optimization page.
Resume (CV) Writing. Your resume is prepared in an internationally accepted format and made ATS-compatible. An ATS (applicant tracking system) is the software that screens applications during hiring; the resume is written with the keywords and core competencies these systems scan for in mind. The resume can be prepared in Turkish or English. The process runs as follows: you send your current resume and a form with the requested details, the resume is prepared and presented for your review, revisions are made if needed, and it is sent back for your approval. For details, see the Resume (CV) Writing page.
Cover Letter Writing. The cover letter is prepared in Turkish or English, depending on your request. Suit Your Job delivers it as a template that you can easily customize for each application. For details, see the Cover Letter Writing page.
LinkedIn User Trainings. If you want to learn to use LinkedIn more effectively on your own, LinkedIn User Trainings are also among the individual services.
If you are still a student. Suit Your Job’s LinkedIn Service for Students covers strategic profile building, translating school projects, volunteer work and certificates into language the business world understands, networking training and a content strategy.
| Your need | Suit Your Job service | Key feature |
|---|---|---|

| You are still studying | LinkedIn Service for Students | Profile building, project framing, networking training and content strategy |
What should you ask before working with an agency?
Are the profile, resume and cover letter prepared by the same team? All three documents telling the same story in the same voice is what makes an application consistent.
In which language and format is the resume prepared? A global application needs an English, ATS-compatible resume.
Is there keyword work based on the target country and role? Recruiters search for candidates on LinkedIn and in applicant tracking systems using keywords.
How does the revision process work? You should know from the start whether the document is presented to you for review and how revisions are handled.
Is a job guaranteed? The hiring decision belongs to the employer. An offer that guarantees an interview or a job is not realistic.
