LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional networking platform—and an essential tool for PhDs exploring careers beyond academia. If you’re new to LinkedIn or unsure how to use it effectively in an industry job search, this webinar is for you.

You’ll learn how to create a compelling profile that clearly communicates who you are, where you’re headed, and the value you bring to nonacademic employers. We’ll also walk through how to tailor your profile as you move through different stages of your career exploration and job search.

Register for this webinar with the Beyond Prof team to gain the tools and confidence to present yourself professionally on LinkedIn.

This virtual session is designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering:

● Why is LinkedIn important for my nonacademic job search?
● How do I write an effective “About” section that highlights my skills and goals?
● How should my LinkedIn profile evolve throughout the job search process?
