If you feel that your networking is not working for you in terms of helping to achieve your next career goal, then join this online webinar to learn about some of the most effective ways to use LinkedIn as part of your networking strategy. This webinar will touch on some of the best practices for LinkedIn that you can start using immediately to help you to get the basics right (is your photo working for you or against you? Does your summary statement help the reader understand your value?), find answers to some of your industry specific questions, showcase your skills in the most relevant way, and develop effective outreach approaches to people you don’t yet know who might be able to support your career development.
