“LinkedIn is not only the premier site for professional networking, but it is also of tremendous value to today’s job hunter. The site offers a wealth of tools, resources and processes to help connect individuals with the right job. Plus, it’s really easy to use and doesn’t cost anything to join,” said Dority. “During the webinar, participants will gain a better understanding of how to put LinkedIn to work for them.”
The “Ramp Up Your Job Search with LinkedIn” webinar will provide strategies and best practices on using LinkedIn’s full suite of job-hunting tools. This webinar will enable attendees to:
Identify and use all of LinkedIn’s job-search options, including targeted alerts
Optimize all of the sections of their Profiles to stand out to potential employers
Develop and execute a strategy to enable their connections to help them find the right job
