So the two people who led this workshop were Senesi Blake who is an awesome guy, who actually sat with us through the whole one hour and thirty minutes and the other girl was Karen. Man, Karen is annoying, she tells everyone in the room that she will be back at the end of the workshop and then she will sign our books. That’s not the problem though. She said with such attitude, it drove me crazy. How you going to leave and then come back at the to sign our books. Man I was so annoyed.

But anyways, im going to stop talking irrelevant kArEn. Overall, the LinkedIn Profile Development was a very informative workshop. At first, I saw the presentation had over twenty slides and I was pretty discouraged already but I learned about just how beneficial LinkedIn can be. Some of the things he covered was how LinkedIn is sort of like a professional Facebook, you can follow companies and people, people can leave a recommendation for you under your profile and it looks like a Facebook comment, and that the summary is an extended part of who you are and every sentence you type should be focused on getting a specific internship or job.

It’s really cool how easily you can connect and find people on LinkedIn, you can like search for Baruch Alumni who work at J.P Morgan or Morgan Stanley and just tell them who you are and give them a reason to connect with you. Honestly, I don’t see a reason not to connect with every Baruch alumni you find on LinkedIn, except for Karen of course. You can connect with so many people who are in different industries and create a detailed network for yourself. The LinkedIn workshop was a pretty informative workshop and I definitely walked out with a lot of good information, and a signature by Senesi, not Karen glt.
