LinkedIn Review Appointments

LinkedIn is a key global professional networking site and is an invaluable tool for students to network with alumni and recruiters. Employers also use LinkedIn as a recruitment tool.

LinkedIn is useful for:

  • Developing a professional online profile to complement your CV.
  • Making contacts with people working in your chosen sector.
  • Searching for organisations to target by your location of preference, or industry sector.
  • Researching jobs and different types of job and career paths.
  • Connecting with alumni around the globe for insight and guidance.

Writing a LinkedIn profile overlaps with writing a CV, but there are some differences you need to be aware of.

Use our LinkedIn Academic Toolkit

Our LinkedIn Academy Toolkit: create a professional profile will help you get started writing your profile.
