You may be familiar with LinkedIn as a job-search and networking tool, but you may not be using it fully.  In addition to reviewing some LinkedIn basics, this workshop will provide important insights into how you can use this online tool to your advantage.  The workshop will cover creating an impressive profile and building a strong network.  It will also guide you through some of the trickier aspects of using LinkedIn such as the most effective, appropriate ways to reach out to second- and third-degree connections and the best ways to approach LinkedIn contacts.  This workshop will include an online demonstration and plenty of time for Q & A.
