About This Course
As competition for jobs has been increasing, so too has the pressure on employers to make sure they select the right candidate. To aid in the interview process, more and more employers are turning their attention to researching prospective employees by looking at their social media activity to see what sort of online personal brand they present.
LinkedIn is an online networking site specifically aimed at professional business networking and helping you make contacts. The course will give you valuable advice and guidance on making sure you’re using LinkedIn to its fullest. You’ll look at setting up or updating your personal profile, the importance of keywords within your profile, how to find, connect, and engage with connections, how to find relevant groups, and how to find information on job opportunities.
