According to a 2020 Forbes report, more than 95% of recruiters use LinkedIn to source and vet job candidates, while only 36 percent of job seekers are active on the site. As much fun as it is to merge our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok accounts into one large social networking experience, LinkedIn has a special designation: professional networking. LinkedIn is a popular social network for career development, but you don't have to wait until you enter the workforce to take advantage of this platform. This virtual session will explore ways to make your LinkedIn profile stand out, whether you’re looking to secure a job, internship or connect with other industry professionals.
