PM Insights Sunnyvale
The PM's LinkedIn Success
LinkedIn is a powerful tool for growing your professional brand. There are hundreds of thousands of project and program managers looking for the next great opportunity. Do you know how to differentiate yourself and take advantage of this valuable tool? Are you seen as an employer/manager of choice? LinkedIn is supposed to be easy, and project managers are smart people, but networking and social media are not skills that most technical professionals have a chance to study.
Is LinkedIn an online resume? An expanded business card? Should you share personal information? Does it matter how many connections you have? Is anyone even looking? Once you have that great profile set up, will employers be lined up at the door to hire you?
This practical and informative workshop will demonstrate how to use the world’s largest business network to powerfully represent yourself both passively if someone you meet looks at your profile and actively to gain attention from recruiters and employers. You will see how LinkedIn can help you enhance your personal brand and promote your expertise as a professional. And you will find out how to dominate searches and establish a powerful online identity.
This session will be beneficial for both people who are relatively new to using LinkedIn and those who’ve had a profile for years, but want to amp up their visibility and use it more effectively.
Key Takeaways
- Learn how to create an inviting profile that effectively promotes yourself as a project or program manager
- Find out how to choose proper keywords and place them effectively to show up in searches
- Learn how to use LinkedIn to build a network of meaningful relationships that will help you throughout your career
