What does a private school, non-profit organization, and a construction company have in common? They were all participants of the Baton Rouge LinkedIn Lunch & Learn hosted by creative nerds at Chatterkick. In this workshop, partakers discovered the real benefits of creating an irresistible LinkedIn profile, who they should be connecting with, how to stand out, and even the opportunity to receive a new professional headshot. LinkedIn is often overlooked as a useful social media platform – you know you need to have it, you just may not know why you need to. That’s where Chatterkick came in – clarifying that facts from fiction, and to get the group on the right page.

LinkedIn is a robust platform that can be used to connect with current colleagues, job hunt, or get into another industry. It summarizes your professional experience, while managing your career identity and enhancing your personal brand. The platform allows members to easily access knowledge and opportunities within their industry, as well as connecting with fellow talent. LinkedIn is a professional’s best friend.
