Creating an Employer-Ready LinkedIn Profile
2019-10-01 13:30 - 14:30 | 250 Caldwell Hall, 121 Reservoir Avenue, Ithaca, NY, 14853, United States
We’ll start with a short overview presentation with pro tips on how to use LinkedIn, some exercises to identify a good tagline, and a very interactive session where participants work on their own profiles and critique others’ –so you will need to bring your own computer. We plan to send out some handy tips to registrants prior to the event if people want to get even more out of the hands-on session.
Due to the interactive nature of the workshop, we will limit the number to 10-12. So if something comes up after you register, be sure to let us know so we can invite someone else to take your place.
This event is presented by Careers Beyond Academia/BEST. We will be holding additional LinkedIn profile workshops in different locations across campus in the coming months, so be sure to tell your friends!
