A strong LinkedIn profile
LinkedIn has millions of accounts in the Netherlands alone. So there is a good chance that the person you would like to meet has a LinkedIn profile. But with LinkedIn you can more than just adding connections: you can use the medium to profile yourself, to get or stay in touch with people, to immerse yourself in the labor market, to keep abreast of developments in your field of work and also as a search engine. How can you use LinkedIn strategically? What should you do to optimize your profile?
Answers to these questions can be found in the LinkedIn handout. Do you want to get started with LinkedIn? Then look at the offer below.
