Join GDG London and ORU for an action-packed, one-hour session + networking designed to help you stand out to recruiters and land your next big role in tech! Whether you're looking to transition into the tech industry, hunting for your next role, or simply want to build a stronger personal brand, your LinkedIn profile is your digital storefront. In this collaborative event hosted by Google Developer Groups (GDG) London and ORU, we are pulling back the curtain on what makes a tech profile actually convert.
Forget generic advice—we’re diving deep into practical frameworks, real-world examples, and open conversations with industry experts.
What to Expect:
Live LinkedIn Reviews & Optimization (15 mins) We’re picking a few lucky attendees from the audience for live profile teardowns! We will showcase exactly what a strong profile looks like in practice, identifying quick wins and major areas for improvement in real time.
Profile Building Walkthrough (15 mins) Take notes! Following the live reviews, we’ll walk you through a proven framework for building a standout profile from scratch. We will cover how to write and optimize every critical section—from your headline to your experience—so you can leave with an actionable checklist to apply to your own page.
Open Q&A Panel with ORU Mentors (30 mins) Got questions about breaking into Data, Analytics, or Product Management? We’re closing out the night with a massive open Q&A featuring four incredible ORU mentors who are ready to share their insights, career advice, and industry realities.
