If you’re already thinking about the quality of your LinkedIn profile as a student (beyond just checking the “I have a LinkedIn profile” box), congrats, you are ahead of the curve! Your LinkedIn profile is a powerful tool to access new opportunities that you will rely on *for the rest of your career*, so it’s worth approaching intentionally. Here’s why it matters: @Canva ‘s New Year New Job report revealed that 94% of hiring managers find it valuable when job seekers have an established social media presence related to their careers. When you’re early in your career without full-time experience, your LinkedIn profile is your chance to show you’re smart, adaptable, motivated, and eager to learn (and to be honest, prove that you won’t double your manager’s workload by needing constant hand-holding in your first “real” job). Here’s how to get your LinkedIn to work for you (so landing that first job gets a lil bit easier)
