event description

 

It's tough these days to tread water in a sea of social media.

Professionals are expected to keep afloat of their profiles on so many different sites, we sometimes feel like giving up and surrendering to the tide.

Our LinkedIn profiles are one such outlet where we're, admittedly, in need of a little help. And like a round floating buoy, this class has heard our S.O.S. and sent (amazing) help.

Job seekers and professionals will learn best practices for enhancing their LinkedIn profiles. Instruction will relay a host of helpful information, beginning with a brief overview of the site and its functions and covering: 


-Profile basics for lead generation (getting the most of headlines, summaries, portfolios) 
-Crafting a portfolio and key accomplishments to highlight 
-Getting the best recommendations on your behalf 
-Joining strategic groups 
-Optimizing the LinkedIn search engine visibility to generate profile views 
-What to do with the new traffic coming to you 
-A preview of LinkedIn premium accounts

After instruction, class will finish with a hearty Q&A session. Bring your business development or sales oriented self, and your already created LinkedIn profile, and we'll show you how to turn that sinking ship around.
