About this Event
We’ve all had our share of LinkedIn woes:
🤦Waiting for someone to accept your connection request
🤦🏿♂️ Getting ghosted from potential employers
🤦🏼♀️ Overachieving a deliverable on a key project, but feel awkward posting about it because of imposter syndrome
We’ve been there, experienced that.
Our social club–The New Hire, invites you to join us for a coffee chat and discuss the power of building your personal brand on LinkedIn!
We’ll start the morning with a complimentary hot beverage and treat followed by a guided conversation. In this discussion, you’ll learn how to curate your LinkedIn profile, craft compelling posts and optimize platform features to showcase your professional strengths, skills, and unique value proposition—boosting your appeal to recruiters and employers alike. The session ends with a Q&A round and free flow networking, giving you the opportunity to pick our founder’s mind and perhaps share some of your interesting insights with us.
