LinkedIn Part 1: Setting up your profile (ONLINE)

Whether you have set up your LinkedIn account already but don't really know how to use it, or its been on your to-do list for ages but you haven't had time or even if you haven't thought about it yet, come along to our workshop, with your device and we can all work on it together!

We will discuss why you should use LinkedIn, how it helps with your career goals, and how to expand your professional network.

We will answer questions like:

• How do i grow my network, who should i connect with and what is the etiquette for connecting with people i do not know?
• What should my personal headline be? What do i include in my 'about' section? What visibility settings should i have?

Come along to the workshop with your device and whatever point you are at with your LinkedIn account, you can leave the workshop with a better understanding of how it all works and a network ready to grow.

This workshop is for CCCU Students, Staff and recent Alumni who are new to LinkedIn or need to go back to the beginning to review their profiles before using LinkedIn for job searching.

There are further workshops on using LinkedIn to job search, how to post engaging content and how to use LinkedIn's more advanced settings. If you are not sure what session is best for you, drop by the careers hub, or email careers@canterbury.ac.uk and we can advise you.

Please attend the workshop with a device (preferably not a phone) and a LinkedIn account already created.
