DegreeForum LinkedIn Networking

[ashkir]

Suffice to say, at least in my industry LinkedIns do carry quite a bit of weight when it comes to being hired for a new role and or to be considered for promotion over a resume. Why? The reviews and recommendations. A strong LinkedIn profile can offer a huge foundation for keeping up to date. 

Take this opportunity for:

1. Update your LinkedIn with current and relevant information.
   
2. Add your education to it, even if it's not completed, add your school (ex: Thomas Edison State University expected to graduate 2022) etc! You can always edit it later. This shows recruiters that YOU are working on it.
   
3. Did you take a Coursera course or something that didn't give credit? Add your certificate! 
   
4. Ask your friends and family to join LinkedIn and give you "likes" and reviews.
   
5. Share your Link here (if you're comfortable with it) 
   
6. If someone here at DegreeForum you know is an expert in a topic, feel free to leave them a glowing recommendation/review! 
   

If you aren't comfortable sharing yours, please skip this topic  

Together we can create our own powerful DegreeForum Alumni Network! Who's with me?
