Webinar description
LinkedIn operates the world’s largest professional network online with more than 400 million members in over 200 countries and territories. Professionals are signing up to join LinkedIn at a rate of more than two new members per second. With such extraordinary demand and growth since its founding, LinkedIn has become, undeniably, a key place to be for professionals who value visibility and credibility. Is your profile making the statement you want?
Your LinkedIn profile may be the first step in connecting with other professionals, but your LinkedIn profile is not an online resume. Your LinkedIn profile can be much, much more, if key elements are highlighted. It is important to create the strongest, most compelling presentation of yourself possible, since recruiters and future clients will all look at your profile. In fact, your first meeting may be a "digital handshake" on LinkedIn.
This webinar will help you understand what LinkedIn can and cannot do for you. You will learn about recent LinkedIn developments and how they can benefit your profile, and how to keep track of LinkedIn as it continues to evolve.
To get all the benefits of what LinkedIn truly offers, don't miss this one-time, live broadcast only. Our speaker is Wendy Mantel, co-director of HBA Metro group mentoring program, a professional coach and certified by the International Coach Federation. Wendy is also a Master Personal Brand Strategist, Keynote speaker, and social media analyst by Reach Personal Branding - the global leader in personal branding. Her article, "Are Your Leaders Failing to Capitalize on the Power of Social Media?" which was published in the December, 2015 issue of Life Sciences Leader, examines the power of active participation within the popular and powerful LinkedIn professional network.
Please note: This webinar will not be recorded, so make sure to register before February 24. A worksheet will be provided to webinar attendees ahead of time to facilitate note-taking. Question-and-answer time will be included.
