On Thursday November 16, I attended a workshop on how to create a LinkedIn profile with a few of my fellow classmates. The session was very informative. The person giving the presentation was very thorough on what to do and what not to do. He also showed us examples of different LinkedIn profiles as well as his. He explained what exactly LinkedIn is and how it can help to have one.
LinkedIn is a very resourceful tool to use. It is a networking platform that can help you land jobs and other things. LinkedIn is for anyone who wants opportunities to grow their careers and connect with other professionals. I plan to use this site in the future when I am looking to start my career and make professional connections.
The person in charge of the workshop walked us through how to make a profile. He told us what to put in our headlines, he told us to condense what we are saying into bullets, he told us what kind of profile picture we should have. He also told us how to talk to people and connect with them. This is all very useful information for me to have. The job market is very competitive and it is helpful to have connections. LinkedIn is a very resourceful tool and I will be using it.
