Online networking is now an essential way of increasing your visibility, gaining useful sector connections, researching companies and organisations and finding and applying for roles.  But how can you be sure as a researcher - whatever your career plans and aspirations - that you are making LinkedIn work for you?

This workshop will:

• introduce you to the main functions and benefits of LinkedIn as a professional social media platform
• help you work out how you can tailor your profile to have maximum impact
• explore the practical art and etiquette of building your network on LinkedIn
• help you to manage your LinkedIn presence for prospective employers and active job search

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout and by the end of the session you will know about further resources and support available to you to help you make best use of LinkedIn as part of your ongoing career management.

This session is open to all Brookes research students and fixed-term research staff.

If you are unable to attend but would like to receive the session materials please feel free to register.
