Careers Event | Professional Networking Platforms – Workshop and Photoshoot

Workshop

There is no possibility in the digital era we live in and the globally connected world of recruiters and candidates to present yourself successfully to a potential employer without a professional online networking profile.

Platforms such as LinkedIn, XING, Behance, Dribbble or GitHub have millions of registered accounts each. Whether you study a business degree, an IT one or you are a student on a creative course, you cannot really afford not to have a profile on one of these portals.

This practical workshop will show you how to set up a new account or enhance an existing one on LinkedIn, the largest of the existing networking platforms. 

Following our experience with hundreds of accounts which have led its owners to internship or graduate position offers, we will offer you ten quick tips & tricks on how to make your LinkedIn page a success.  

Excellent profiles from other BSBI students and graduates, as examples to follow, will also be showcased.

Photoshoot

An integral part of every good LinkedIn presence is a professional profile picture. As part of the workshop, you will have the opportunity to have a personal image taken by BSBI Photo and Video Production team on the following day (28.11) and use it on your newly revamped LinkedIn. 

An individual photoshoot lasts only about 15 minutes and you will be able to choose your slot for the 28th November. Only students who attend the workshop part on the 27th will be allowed to have their photo taken the following day. 

Speakers: 

MA PgCert Michael Ferenc, Careers Service Manager, BSBI

BA Soheil Moradianboroujen, Director of Photo & Video Production, BSBI

Students who join the waiting list will be able to take part in the workshop remotely as it will be delivered in a hybrid mode.

Due to the restricted photo-taking schedule on Wednesday, places on this workshop are strictly limited and unregistered entry will not be allowed.
