Staff Development Series
Topic: Communicating Effectively using (LinkedIn) Technology
RSVP link http://augsburg.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_b2gIAJpSOXPNjoN
April 16th, 2013
8-9:30am
SVE 201
In this hands-on session, attendees will learn what LinkedIn is and what it is used for. You'll learn how to use LinkedIn for your own professional development and networking, and have time in the computer lab to create or enhance your profile and understand what considerations to take into account when deciding what information to include on your profile. Attendees will explore how to use LinkedIn to support Augsburg College students indirectly through joining groups and sharing expertise, and directly by connecting, endorsing and writing recommendations. The group also will explore best practices and social media etiquette, how recruiters (like Augsburg!) are using LinkedIn to search for qualified applicants, and how your overall social media and digital footprint is viewed by others.
About the facilitators: Steff Weiss is a social media practioner who works in Marketing and Communication, and Ana Eliason helps students with tools such as LinkedIn in her work at the Strommen Center.
