Your LinkedIn profile is more than an online resume. It's your digital first impression, is it making the right one? In just one hour, we'll cut through the noise and give you the actionable strategies to make LinkedIn your career superpower. Learn to craft a profile that tells your story, build a network that opens doors, and engage in a way that gets you noticed.
In this session, you’ll learn how to:

* Set up and optimize your profile: choose a great photo, craft a compelling headline, and write an engaging summary that truly highlights your skills and sets you apart.
* Highlight your experience and skills effectively: learn how to tell your story and showcase your background in a way that attracts the right opportunities.
* Understand LinkedIn’s settings and privacy controls: take control of who sees your information and how you interact on the platform.
* Make connections and engage with content: learn how to grow your network and start meaningful conversations.
