Career Tools Webinar Series: Leveraging LinkedIn and AI

LinkedIn can be your one-stop shop for marketing your professional brand, building and maintaining your network, and applying for jobs as part of your career next steps. AI plays a role in many of LinkedIn’s features, and increasingly in many aspects of the job search process. Knowing how and when to use these tools is an important part of your career development strategy. This fast-paced session will 1) cover the basics of an effective LinkedIn profile, 2) explore networking strategies for both introverts and extroverts, and 3) encourage the strategic use of AI to streamline your job search. Join us to make LinkedIn and AI work for your professional next steps.
