Optimizing Career Prospects with An Awesome LinkedIn Profile

LinkedIn Seminar
I conducted a one hour seminar on LinkedIn during the mid day hour break period in Discovery 1, SFU today. The title of the seminar was, "How to Optimize Your Career Prospects with An Awesome LinkedIn Profile". This seminar was scheduled sometime back in May but due to my tight schedule during the beginning of the semester, there were no promotions done for the seminar. In spite of that, the seminar managed to attract about twenty students.

Sharing Tips on LinkedIn
In the seminar, I shared some of the key points about LinkedIn and how to optimize on LinkedIn's high traffic by using specific keywords to build an awesome online resume. With over four hundred million account members, LinkedIn is the third most popular social network site in the world today. I have introduced this LinkedIn seminar to Fraser International College's international students about four semesters ago and have been receiving good responds and reviews for the seminar.

Another Section of Participants
This is an opportunity for the international students at FIC to learn and build their profile early. Learning to use the features and categories provided in the LinkedIn profile setup to build a resounding personal resume. Establishing the need for Canadian work experience, volunteer work, leadership skills, extracurricular activities, association with groups, networking, and academic accomplishments.
