February Education Program - New Year: New You! Kick of The Year Right with a LinkedIn Refresh
When was the last time you touched your LinkedIn profile? Have you been staying up to date with all of the new features this platform has been adding? This is your opportunity to gain tips and insights on key functions and critical components of having a LinkedIn profile. The most successful networkers on this platform are super users and can harness LinkedIn into finding new jobs, new clients, or new business partners. MPI’s career management speaker Dawn Rasmussen, CMP, will lead this session and provide meaty, hands-on tips. Make sure to bring your mobile device so you can implement these changes right there, and you’ll be glad you did!
Learning outcomes:
- Learn about the newest functionality and features that LinkedIn has added; the more you know, the more you can get out of this important site.
- Gain understanding of how to “X-Ray” through LinkedIn to get contact information on people that you want to meet.
- Find out what to include (and what you shouldn’t) on your profile to make yourself “findable” by clients and hiring managers / recruiters alike.
Speaker:
Dawn Rasmussen, a certified résumé writer, is the president of Portland, Ore.-based Pathfinder Writing and Career Services and author of “Forget Job Security: Build Your Marketability” which is the first-ever book that provides a complete roadmap on how manage your career.
What makes Dawn “tick”? A relentless and tireless desire to help everyone understand the importance of actively managing their career every minute of every day.
She helps clients and conference attendees think about their careers differently by pushing their envelope (in a good way), which is the first step in the journey where job seekers and employees begin to actively manage their career destinies.
When she isn’t busy working with résumé clients, speaking to conference groups internationally and nationally, writing articles / blogs, or teaching, Dawn is hiking in Oregon’s spectacular outdoors, kayaking, or plotting her next adventure.
And you should know that her most recent adventure during the COVID-19 pandemic has been acting as a stand-in mama raising an abandoned fawn, Thor, who was found on her property. Yet another thing to put on Dawn’s own resume: Deer Mama!
