How to Build a Stand-Out LinkedIn Profile: A Webinar for Ph.D. Students

Image

One of the most important tools Ph.D.s can leverage in their job search is LinkedIn. LinkedIn can help you connect with key people and organizations during your job search, help you learn industry trends, and help you build a community of professionals in your new career field.

But to effectively leverage LinkedIn, you’ll need to have a strong LinkedIn profile that clearly communicates who you are as a professional. Your LinkedIn profile will be the first impression colleagues and employers have of you, so it’s important that your profile is well-written, impactful, and accurately portrays who you are and what you do.

This webinar is designed for doctoral students from all academic disciplines who are wondering

• Why is LinkedIn an important part of a nonacademic job search?
• How should I use LinkedIn strategically and effectively in my job search?
• What makes a good LinkedIn profile? How should I craft one as a Ph.D. exploring nonacademic careers?

Duke graduate students can attend this webinar for free, including access to replays of events when available, through The Graduate School's subscription to Beyond the Professoriate. Advance registration is required.
