Session 1: Networking Essentials
Speaker: Michele Bush, Co-Owner of Meglyn Consulting and Co-Founder of ElevatingHR
The idea of networking can be intimidating for some and energizing for others. In either case, it is an essential competency that we all need to develop. Networking comes in many forms, but at its core, it’s simply about making genuine human connections. This session provides practical ways to expand your network, increase access to employment opportunities, and reduce the hesitation & anxiety often associated with the concept of networking.

Session 2: Creating DYNAMIC LinkedIn Profiles
Speaker: Ross Macpherson, President of Career Quest
98% of recruiters and hiring professionals look for talent like yours on LinkedIn every single day…and yet recruiters tell us that most LinkedIn profiles they see are AWFUL. If you want to attract the best opportunities and properly launch your career, your profile must be well constructed and take advantage of every key section. But no one has told you how to do this correctly…until now. In this dynamic session, Ross Macpherson shows you exactly how to build your own great LinkedIn profile, section by section. Prepare to take notes…this is NOT your average LinkedIn session!
