Join us at BridgePort Brewery for this career event among the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, and Portland State University alumni & students. Learn how to leverage your LinkedIn profile to effectively brand yourself and help advance your career opportunities.
If you're a professional, with a career, having a LinkedIn presence is no longer an option. Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, your LinkedIn profile is how you manage your online brand and your professional network. But knowing where to start, or if you've already dipped your toe in the LinkedIn water, how to leverage the features depending on your situation, can be overwhelming.
In this presentation, Stacey Lane, a career coach and an early adopter of LinkedIn, will share how to leverage the power of LinkedIn without having to figure it out on your own. She'll share why you need an updated LinkedIn profile, even if you aren’t looking for a new job. You'll learn how recruiters and managers are using LinkedIn (and it's not just to find job candidates) and the top three profile must-haves that more than 80% of professionals overlook. She'll cover smart ways to utilize LinkedIn to increase your visibility (which is really what a job search is all about anyway) in an authentic manner. Stacey will also give you some tips on how to avoid some of the most common mistakes that professionals make on LinkedIn.
There will be a networking hour after the panel discussion is complete. Your cost of admission includes a free drink ticket for a BridgePort brew (21 years & older) and an amazing spread of appetizers. Grab a drink and make some new personal & professional connections!
Cost:
- $10.00 in advance
