LinkedIn Workshop - For Regional Professionals

LinkedIn Workshop - For Regional Professionals. 

LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional networking platform with over 1 billion members in over 200 countries. But how does a professional in a regional area of Australia utilise its power? Can you gain better access to both local, regional and international markets by tweaking your activity?

Do you know how to use it for your purpose? Can you backup your profile, update the most important settings and track relevant statistics? What is essential to add to your LinkedIn Profile and once done, how do you attract opportunities, network and gain referrals? If you have a broader message you want to share with the world, how can you get it out there?

Join this interactive and practical event to hear from Independent LinkedIn Specialist Sue Ellson (based in Melbourne but a regular visitor to Bendigo).

A comprehensive digital handout will be provided to all registrants as well as a digital copy of Sue’s book, ‘LinkedIn for me and my career or business.’

Please bring your mobile phone with the LinkedIn App installed and be signed in. If you would like to bring your fully charged laptop as well, you can complete some LinkedIn updates in the session.
