Yes, it’s true - you really do need a LinkedIn profile! Create real connections, build your network, land a new job and become a believer.
About this Event
Let's be honest. You probably have a LinkedIn profile, but don't know what to do with it. Or maybe you never signed up because you haven't seen the value.
Now more than ever, LinkedIn is a resource that can help you expand your network and create real connections in a world where we currently cannot in-person.
Whether you’re a complete beginner to the world of LinkedIn, or wanting to move from being a passive to active user - learn why and how you can benefit from it.
