Lunch and Learn: Building a LinkedIn Profile

This program is not currently scheduled.

However, any resources like slides and recordings from this event would be listed under Materials at the bottom of this page. Announcements about when this program is offered next will be emailed from "UCSF Office of Career and Professional Development."

Overview

Have you heard that you should create a LinkedIn profile, and wondered why? Do you have a half-finished profile hanging around? Does the prospect of creating a profile from scratch sound daunting (but maybe a little less daunting if there's free food)? If any of the above sound familiar, this event is for you!

Tools like LinkedIn are incredibly useful for expanding your network and landing career opportunities. You can benefit from these tools with a simple profile that requires a minimum of time and effort.

We will provide tips for setting up a profile, and be on hand to support you as you actually work on your own. Bring a charged laptop, come enjoy lunch, and leave with a complete profile!

Learning Goals

By the end of this session, you'll know how to:

  • Describe the purpose of having a LinkedIn profile
  • Identify the true profile "must-haves"
