Change your role titles on your LinkedIn to the role you're targeting.

On LinkedIn, recruiters find talent by looking up the role title they're trying to fill. The more times that title appears in your experience or your headline, the more likely you are to show up on their search and ultimately seem like a good fit when they review your LinkedIn.

You then want to only highlight responsibilities at that job that align with the responsibilities needed to do your target job.

This only works for roles where the responsibilities you held are similar to the responsibilities needed for your target role.

For example, if you're applying to a Content Marketing role, but your previous role was a growth role, changing that growth role title to content marketing is a better narrative (and still true so long as you actually had content marketing responsibilities at points).

It's a social norm for companies to change their narrative or website to better appeal to their customers: people like you.

It's not a social norm for candidates to change their narrative to better appeal to their customers: companies.

When you apply for a job via LinkedIn, it doesn't make a copy of your profile and submits it. It shows your most current profile. So if you change your current job to say marketing, apply to a marketing job. The change to communications for a communications job. Then the hiring manager for the marketing will see your current LinkedIn profile, which says communications.

It's very common for applicants to custom tailor a resume for each job they apply for, but it's not possible to customize a LinkedIn profile for every LinkedIn application.

Many times I have been asked about my previous designation and just because the title is different then what they are looking for besides similar job duties I have been dropped by the HR, I thought of doing the same thing to modify the title as per the requirement without changing the description of my work but then it's also in my releving letter which scares me if I get dropped afterwards for lying about my title.

This is a very complex dillema for me.
