About

In cooperation with our partner, Pagoda Projects, DMU Global will be offering twenty online events throughout the 2020-2021 academic year. All events are employability focused and aim to give students an insight into topics related to the international working world.

During this session students will have a unique opportunity to learn tips and tricks from the Senior Product Consultant Talent Solutions and Senior Account Executive at LinkedIn.

Students will explore how to create a LinkedIn profile that brings their personal career story to life, whether they are just starting out, seeking to advance, or making a career change. The instructors will offer tips on tailoring each section, starting with the key insight that a LinkedIn profile is unique and shouldn’t be approached exactly like a resume. Speakers will also cover ways to add media to a profile, methods for showcasing career accomplishments and aspirations, and specific examples of profile phrases and language that can help inspire personal story.
