Creating a Powerful LinkedIn Profile that Will Get You Hired!

Is Your LinkedIn Profile Helping You—or Holding You Back?

Your LinkedIn profile is often your first impression. Whether exploring new roles, building your network, or launching something new, it should reflect where you're headed, not just where you've been.

LinkedIn is the most essential tool for business professionals searching for their next job today. LinkedIn helps 4 million people get jobs through its "Jobs for You" feature, with over 14 million open jobs listed in 2024. Over 97 percent of HR and staffing professionals use LinkedIn in their recruiting efforts worldwide.

Creating a Great LinkedIn Profile

Here are some of the many things you will learn:

Making a Strong First Impression

• Write a headline that highlights your value, not just your title.
• Craft a summary that tells your story with clarity and confidence.
• Choose visuals (photo, banner) that support your personal brand.

Improving Visibility and Searchability

• Use keywords that align with your target roles or industries.
• Refine your job descriptions to focus on impact, not just duties.
• Leverage LinkedIn features like Skills, Featured Content, and Recommendations.

Position Yourself Strategically

• Align your profile with your career direction—whether you’re looking, open, or growing.
• Showcase results and achievements in a way that resonates with recruiters and hiring managers.
• Make your profile easy to skim, but rich in substance.

Now is the perfect time to refresh your presence before your next opportunity finds you.

The job market is a little wonky right now. Don’t wait until you need to “put something together." Instead, spend a few hours polishing off your profile to attract your next opportunity before you need it.

This 4-hour workshop is designed for busy professionals. It is short, actionable, and built to help you update your profile as you go. There will be several short breaks but no meal break, so have some food or a snack ready.
