Social Media for Making Connections

NewSpecial

Are you looking to make virtual professional connections using LinkedIn, networking with the Cambridge research community?

Social media is an increasingly popular way to connect and network with peers. It can be valuable in meeting people who you may not normally interact with, providing an extra way to integrate into Cambridge life and make career-long connections in an inter-disciplinary environment.

During this session, you will:

• understand your goals for professional networking at Cambridge
• be guided to make the most of social media, specifically LinkedIn, to connect with the Cambridge research community
• reflect on the impact of making connections
• gain tips and best practice for professional use of LinkedIn
• have an opportunity to begin making connections.

Please note that bookings for this event will close at 9am on Friday 13 September.
