This workshop is aimed at students who don’t have a LinkedIn profile, or wish to update their current one. As well as looking at how to complete your profile, we will also look how to use LinkedIn for job searching and connecting with alumni. 

To make the session as interactive as possible, students are invited to bring a laptop or similar device, but this is not mandatory.
