Introduction to LinkedIn 💼

Many of you might have already heard of LinkedIn and have a profile, but I wasn’t even aware of it up until around 3 months ago - so I thought I’d just make this short introductory post.👩🏻‍💻

With LinkedIn, you’re able to showcase your academic and career achievements, advertise your experience, and actively search for jobs and career opportunities. 💡

I think it’s a great platform, because nowadays when you apply for a job, many recruiters and employers check to see if you have a LinkedIn account, just to get a sense of who you are as a person - your CV can only contain so much information! 📄

I have been using LinkedIn for around 6 months, and although I haven’t been actively looking for employment during this time, I’ve managed to connect with quite a few people and message people, asking for advice and information about their career. It really is a great resource! You can access courses and see events happening near you. You can also turn on job search notifications, and there are opportunities to see posts from other organisations and companies - some job advertisements are only placed on LinkedIn, so you get exclusive opportunities! 🙌🏻🤩  

Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn, just leave a comment or email me, and I’ll send a link over 😊
