About this event
This event will not be recorded to encourage open discussions.
LTUX Seattle is excited to continue with our Industry Voices initiative.
The Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander community in the US is very diverse. It isn’t a monolith with one identity or experience. Not only are there a multitude of ethnicities among Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders, but there are also stark differences in lived personal experiences. We have 3 professionals to speak to about their stories.
Join us Wednesday, May 31st from 5:30 - 6:30 PM PT as we close out Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Month by celebrating Changemakers in the AANHPI community! This panelist discussion will give space to AANHPI professionals, to share their stories, and inspire others by showcasing the amazing experiences these changemakers are doing in their community!

Jinna Hagerty (birth name: Yang Jin Bee) consults as a design strategist mixing visual design, facilitation, and heaps of curiosity. She is also a Korean American adoptee. She has spent her life straddling cultures and identity. She brings this life skill—the blending, adapting, bridging, noticing, and weaving—into her work designing heart-centered, equity-focused experiences. She notices the little things and the big patterns, and loves helping to connect these dots across systems.

About this event
Join us Monday, June 5th from 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM PT as Jessica Olson gives us a peek behind the curtain of what LinkedIn Recruiter looks like and how LinkedIn is used by recruiters to find their next hire. She will be sharing tips and tricks on how you can optimize your LinkedIn to be more easily discovered by a recruiter while looking for your next role! Spoiler alert: if you’re applying on LinkedIn for roles, your resume is typically not what recruiters are looking at!
