Some engineers, project managers, and other business professionals are comfortable promoting themselves and love social interaction, but most would rather do anything other than brag about themselves and spend time on any social media.

This practical and informative session will demonstrate how to use the world’s largest business network to powerfully represent yourself both passively if someone you meet looks at your profile and actively to gain attention from recruiters and employers and potential employees (they’re looking at you too!) You will see how LinkedIn can help you enhance your personal brand and promote your expertise as a professional. And you will find out how to get positive attention and visibility for your brand or your company. We look at how LinkedIn can be used as a powerful tool to cultivate meaningful relationships with potential employers, clients, referral partners, and colleagues and steps to take in order to use LinkedIn to prospect, connect, and grow your professional network.

This session will be beneficial for people who have reasonably complete LinkedIn profiles and would like to take them up a notch and who want to use their profiles to receive more attention from their network and others, perhaps even be seen as the thought leader they know they are.

Takeaways:

·         Find out how to show up more often in searches

·         Learn how to make your profile more effective

·         What’s new on LinkedIn
