Workshop on Creating Awesome LinkedIn Profile

A section of the workshop participants

Fraser International College through the Instructor Advising Program organized a LinkedIn Profile Workshop entitled, "How To Build An Awesome LinkedIn Profile" in Discovery 1 at the main Simon Fraser University campus. I was the workshop facilitator and had the opportunity to speak with a full classroom of eager to learn students. In the workshop, I shared the twenty one key points about building the best resume with the available multimedia tools and sections provided on the online social career profile building platform.

Facilitating the workshop

The LinkedIn Platform is practically used by ninety five percent of today's prospecting employers in their job search process. Some potential employers used the online social platform to find suitable candidates to fill vacant positions and some uses the platform to advertise vacancies. While others may use the platform to verify or evaluate shortlisted candidates. Which brings us to the point of the importance of this social media platform. Especially, for students to learn the finer points of building an awesome career focused profile on LinkedIn.

Although, the workshop was only an hour, I fully utilized the time to answer as many queries. And on top of that, provided the opportunity for the participants to have their professional photos taken. I have earlier made prior arrangements with the photography club to extend this service to the students. This LinkedIn workshop is only available once per semester and the next of such workshop will probably be available again in the Spring 2017 semester.
