Enhancing Your Personal Brand: LinkedIn
Program Description:
LinkedIn, the world's largest professional social network, now has over 380 million members globally who represent hundreds of industries. It has become the destination of choice for recruiters, hiring managers and respected leaders who want to keep track of their networks and search for talent. In a time when your online presence often constitutes your first, and perhaps only, impression, knowing how to maximize the opportunities LinkedIn presents you is a fundamental skill in your professional development toolkit.
In this session, we'll do a deep dive into the features and functionality of LinkedIn, covering everything from profile essentials to expert methods to search for contacts new, known and about-to-be-known. You'll walk away with ideas for enhancing your personal brand, new strategies for networking and a thorough understanding of the free tools LinkedIn offers to all users.
