Is it time to dust🧹off your LinkedIn profile? Have you joined BU Connects, but don’t quite know what to do with it?

Whether you're an aspiring business owner, entrepreneur, or corporate executive, LinkedIn is the ultimate platform for generating broader visibility for your brand. But do you know how to truly harness its power? There are some features on LinkedIn that we like to say are hidden in plain sight.

Adding BU Connects to your toolkit to work hand-in-hand with LinkedIn is the most powerful way to showcase your skills and build your network within our global BU community.

Our 1-hour LinkedIn & BU Connects seminar for alumni and students will help you learn how to work (and network) smarter, not harder. We’ll highlight hidden features and best practices that will skyrocket your profile views and help you find opportunities, qualified leads, and talented Terriers who have volunteered their time and expertise to help you on your career journey.

Join us online on Tuesday, December 5th, 2023, at Noon EST as Angela Pitter (ENG'86, MET'93), Founder and CEO of LiveWire Collaborative, and Michael Ouellette (Wheelock’08), Assistant Director, BU Alumni Career Engagement, will cover the following key points:

• Create Visuals to stop the scroll - Learn how to use your profiles to position yourself as a thought leader.
  

• Craft a Compelling Headline - Discover the key elements of an award-winning headline that compels others to click on your profile. 

• Learn how to make smarter connections using search to locate alumni, past colleagues, new prospects, and those who have made it clear how they are willing to help and mentor you.
