More than 29 million people in the UK have a profile on LinkedIn. It is the norm, but it’s usefulness to you is far more than that if you use it well.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll:

• Be up to speed with the latest tools and developments
• Understand how LinkedIn can help you identify roles and opportunities before they come up
• Know how to successfully connect with people you’d like to build into your network
• Know how to better target your actions and time towards things that will serve your needs most.
• Get a ‘LinkedIn’ homework sheet of key actions to take away and do

The workshop will be limited to 8 people to allow for dialogue and for us to tailor some of the content around you and your needs. Most people in the group will be professionals in the age range of 45-65 so you’ll have many questions in common.  This will also be a good opportunity to meet other members and network with each other.
