Does your LinkedIn profile give readers a good picture of who you are, or is it the same old thing, simply a list of what you have done? Don’t be ordinary, become extraordinary! If it does not tell a compelling story, we invite you to LinkedIn for Job Seekers - the Perfect Profile Workshop. We want to help job seekers, the under employed, or the currently employed to find better jobs to attend this dynamic session to really learn how to use LinkedIn. “You don't know what you don’t know about LinkedIn until we show you what you need to know!”
