2 What is LinkedIn? LinkedIn is a living and breathing business platform where students, recent graduates, professionals and employers can interact and network. Your profile is a great way to share not only your experience but also your personality andinterests.

3 Who Uses LinkedIn?

4 Why do I need it? 1. Build your professional online presence 2. Connect with alumni and professionals 3. Research companies and industries 4. Explore opportunities Source: LinkedIn Guide for students 2017

5 BUILD YOUR PROFESSIONAL ONLINE PRESENCE VS

6 Your own brand: Represent your organisation 50% of hiring managers will decide whether to move forward with a candidate s application based on their LinkedIn profile. Your LinkedIn profile is how future customers/employees get a glimpse of your personality, skills and strengths.

7 Increase visibility LinkedIn gives your organization increased visibility for its brand, products, and corporate goals. Potential customers, clients, and suppliers can research your company on LinkedIn to see if they're interested in doing business with you. This is especially useful if your organization sells services or products to other businesses.

8 Building a great profile to showcase your experience and professional interests on LinkedIn! Your Headline: Get aspirational! This is your slogan the one professional fact people should know. Your headline should describe what you re doing now, Check out the profiles of fellow students and recent alumni for ideas! The best LinkedIn profile headlines tell people what you do and how you can benefit them.

9 Your Photo: First Impressions Really Count A photo adds credibility and offers a first impression. A nice shirt will do just fine no need for a suit and tie if that s not your style. Shoot in a bright location and upload a clear photo. Smile and be yourself! Upload a high-quality photo (your profile will be 7x more likely to be viewed) LinkedIn isn t Facebook! VS No party shots, cartoon avatars, or puppy pics!

10 Think of your summary as an elevator pitch where you explain what makes you unique.

11 Develop a professional summary. Your Summary statement is like the first few paragraphs of your best-written cover letter concise and confident about your qualifications and goals. Include relevant work and extra-curriculars examples.

12 Show off your education. 10x Members with a school or University tagged in their profile get more views on average

13 Your Experience: Share Your Accomplishments Your experience section is one of the most relevant and important sections for viewers, where you can describe your skills and accomplishments in detail.

14 Your professional portfolio Share your work. You can also add actual examples of your writing, design work, or other accomplishments on your profile, where you can share rich media or documents. What better way to sell your skills than to show employers exactly what you can produce? Course projects, Blog, Employer consultancy projects, Research, Survey, Data Analysis

15 Got the skills to pay the bills? Whether it s another language, computer software or industry specific knowledge add those skills!

16 Give recommendations and endorsements to get them

17 Recommendations are highly valued! Think of them as the references section on a traditional C.V. But aim for quality not quantity.

18 Tailoring your LinkedIn profile is an empowering experience. You ve already posted a photo, written a killer headline and summary and now you ve listed the skills to boot. What next?

44 Why not compare the skills and career paths of alumni to your own? Take a look at graduates from your university and field of study, and then filter in companies or industries you are interested in.

45 See where graduates from your university work, the kind of jobs they do and the companies they work for. LinkedIn s data makes it simple to drill down into specific career areas.

46 Filter dates to track careers of specific graduating classes. This will help you find people you might know or anyone you might want to reach out to.

47 The Alumni tool is also useful for those trying to select a postgraduate program. Not sure where to study or what degree to go for next? Check the profiles of graduates with careers closely aligned to your own personal goals.

48 The next step is to identify alumni who are living your dream right now. Aim high!

49 Make it your habit to research the profiles of alumni that inspire you. Don t be shy. Get in touch and ask for insights and help from what they ve learned along the way.

50 Let them know how you know them - whether that s through a friend, via a website or through LinkedIn search results. It ll help to get the conversation started.

51 And remember to give back. Inspire others by sharing industry knowledge and insights. Represent your organisation at our fairs and employability events.
