Filling in a LinkedIn profile is easy, but are you using it to connect to the right opportunities? We will discuss common questions such as: “What do I put in a message when reaching out to someone?” or How do I find recruiters or alumni to talk with?" or “How can I get someone to respond to my message without bugging them?" and “How can I find job opportunities on LinkedIn?” Intended for students with an existing LinkedIn Profile.

EMPLOYER-RELATED EVENTS
Employer-related events can be a great opportunity to gather knowledge about the organization, explore what you’re interested in (and not interested in), and learn what type of candidate they are seeking. It is also a great opportunity to build connections and expand your network. Even if you are not their target group, it doesn’t hurt to ask questions to build your knowledge base and build connections with company representatives.
