LinkedIn Working Sessions

These sessions are being delivered as a collaboration between the Graduate Business Studies Office and RGSAAB (Rohrer Graduate Student and Alumni Advisory Board).

LinkedIn is a valuable tool for developing and maintaining a professional network that can help you remain current in industry trends. The LinkedIn platform can also be leveraged to complement and even expand your career opportunities.

The primary key to fully utilizing LinkedIn is to have a strong profile. This doesn’t necessarily mean you need to develop a detailed profile, and listing your full resume isn’t ideal, either.

What does your LinkedIn profile say about you? What are some quick fixes that you could make to improve how you are perceived on the LinkedIn platform? How should your LinkedIn profile vary from your resume? What is an easy way to build relationships and make connections with other MBA, MSF, and COGS students at Rowan that also want to leverage LinkedIn?

We will be offering multiple Virtual LinkedIn Sessions, each 1-hour long, all in small group settings (max 10 students). Sessions will provide students with the opportunity to develop their LinkedIn profiles, further advance their profiles through constructive criticism, and improve your LinkedIn engagement skills. 

Sessions include:

  • Getting Started with LinkedIn
  • LinkedIn Engagement & Activity Strategies
  • Military-Affiliated Focus

See below to review dates, times, details and how to RSVP.

Each 1-hour session will include a 5-minute facilitated review of each participant’s LinkedIn profile, and provide you with an immediate boost in connections and action items to improve your profile.

All participants will be required to spend approximately 30 minutes in advance of each session completing some preparation tasks. Details noted below for each session.
