  1. Why is LinkedIn so important and how will we use it

  2. Selecting your photos for LinkedIn

  3. Fine tuning your professional branding in LinkedIn

  4. Filling out the experience section and other key sections of your profile

  5. Building your network on LinkedIn

Important Technical Note: This Squarespace platform was giving us some issues with the video hosting, so this week’s videos are embedded here via unlisted YouTube videos.

Watching them here in the platform should be a seamless experience for you, but I just wanted to provide an update on that :)
