Join the MBS American Marketing Club for a LinkedIn workshop with human resources professional Hannah Koeller, owner of Hello Marigold. Hannah is passionate about guiding individuals in career development and connections.

Do you already have a LinkedIn profile but aren’t sure about best practices around using it? Don’t have a LinkedIn profile but know you want to create one? Hannah will share tips and advice from an HR/recruiter perspective that will benefit anyone, regardless of their expertise, on this social media platform.

Here are 10 reasons why it’s beneficial for MBS students to have a presence on LinkedIn:

  • Professional Networking:
    LinkedIn allows students to connect with professionals in their field of interest, including alumni, professors, recruiters, and industry leaders. These connections can open doors to mentorships, internships, and job opportunities.
  • Personal Branding:
    Students can showcase their skills, achievements, and experiences to potential employers, helping them stand out in a competitive job market. A well-crafted LinkedIn profile acts as a dynamic resume.
  • Access to Opportunities:
    Companies frequently post internships, entry-level jobs, and project opportunities on LinkedIn. Students can also receive job recommendations tailored to their profile.
  • Skill Development:
    LinkedIn Learning provides access to courses that help students develop technical, interpersonal, and leadership skills, enhancing their resumes and employability.
  • Industry Insights:
    Following companies, joining LinkedIn groups, and reading posts from industry leaders help students stay informed about trends and best practices in their desired fields.
  • Showcasing Involvement:
    Students can highlight their involvement in school projects, clubs, internships, and certifications, helping to build credibility and demonstrate their commitment to professional growth.
  • Connection to Alumni:
    Through the LinkedIn Alumni Tool, students can explore the career paths of alumni from their business school, reach out for advice, and potentially secure referrals.
  • Preparation for Networking Events:
    LinkedIn enables students to research attendees, companies, and speakers ahead of events, allowing them to approach networking with confidence and strategy.
  • Recruiter Visibility:
    Many recruiters actively use LinkedIn to search for candidates. A strong profile increases the likelihood of being noticed for internships or job openings.
  • Proof of Professionalism:
    Having a LinkedIn profile demonstrates that a student is serious about their career and understands the importance of professional networking in today’s job market.
