Join Lalena Kennedy, Career Strategists For "LinkedIn For Job Seekers"

More and more employers are using LinkedIn to post job listings, as well as to find possible job candidates. LinkedIn is also a great place for job seekers to network with professionals in their industry.

To use LinkedIn most effectively, you’ll need to complete your LinkedIn profile entirely, add to your connections, and leverage your network to help in your job search.

Attend this presentation and you will learn how to:
• Create an authentic, professional, and optimized LinkedIn profile
• Research prospective companies on LinkedIn
• Connect with current employees for a personal connection into a company
• Complete the 'Career Interests' section of your profile to let recruiters know you're looking
• Turn on job alerts to be notified of new positions as they're posted
• Reach out to connections to request an endorsement

Join Lalena Kennedy on Friday, January 25th, 2019 and this is the information that you will take-away with you:

• LinkedIn members with a profile picture are 14 times more likely to receive page views, while those who post skills are 13 times more likely to have profile views compared to those who don't.
• You should add a branded background photo/banner to your profile. LinkedIn also allows you to highlight other media on your profile like YouTube videos, infographics, and presentations.
• Your LinkedIn profile is more than just an online resume — it’s a networking tool. That means to get the most out of it, you need to remain active.
• You need to keep expanding your network because of how LinkedIn’s system of first, second, and third degree connections are shown in search results; having a lot of (well-connected) connections helps keep you visible to others.
