Message from the photographer:
“Your session will be to create a high quality classic studio portrait, so looking your best is important. It is also very important to wear or bring long sleeves. A tie and jacket, or blazer and blouse is always a good choice, along with any type of business or office attire that demonstrates professionalism. Jewelry and makeup tend to photograph very well.
Darker outer solids tend to photograph exceptionally well on just about everyone.
Please try to avoid any bright, overly saturated colors, polka dots, or distracting stripes & patterns. (If this is your regular established style, then choose the very best, least distracting and go with it!)
Clothing with commercial logos or any element that would diminish the professionalism in your appearance should be totally avoided as they not appropriate for this type of portrait.
Your portrait should convey an accurate reflection of your own style and character while meeting the expectations of your goals for future professional positions, symposiums, or current establishment of an upgraded profile image.
Keep in mind that your portrait may have several years or more of useful longevity, so please choose attire that would allow you to feel your very best for a portrait. Rest assured, I will purpose to create a portrait you like, and you will have the opportunity to personally select a pose or smile that you are pleased with.
See you there!

Careers Beyond Academia staff will start with a short overview presentation with LinkedIn tips, exercises to identify a good tagline, a summary discussion and an interactive session to work on profiles and receive feedback. Even if you don’t yet have a profile, please register and we will send you some starter tips to get going. If your profile needs some updating (like you last looked at it as an undergrad, haha), no worries, tune in and we’ll get you motivated to make some quick 5-minute changes! And if your profile is looking pretty good, you’ll be sure to get input from others to make it even better and insight from recruiters who look at your profile to get you hired! If there’s time, we’ll demo how you can use LinkedIn to strategically expand your network, find job postings, and connect with professionals in the roles you seek.
