I am a gainfully employed data scientist with a solid career history and I have a good network in the data science community online. I am active on Twitter and have a LinkedIn profile. However, I have never received an email or message from a recruiter. What can I do to start getting recruited?

I think my answer is valid for any profession.

    It’s good when they don’t contact you, unless you throw your bloody bait,
    err resume out there. 90% of the time all they want is the access to the
    hiring manager – full name usually works. The other 10%, LinkedIn is NOT
    the place to dump your resume.. go to indeed and dice instead (the latter
    works really well if you want to get noticed for contract positions –
    noticed is the operative word though).
    Next thing – create a free .me site and put a personal portfolio on it (not
    a resume)

    key word rich? as a newly graduated HR Professional with a SHRM certificate
    what should my key words be? I don’t have a lot of experience in HR and
    really need a local position that is entry-level
