During our discussions with the GRF’s, I realized LinkedIn is a social network, so be social! You’re allowed to let some of your personality show. It’s fine to connect with someone you’ve never met, especially alumni. They actually wouldn’t mind a cold email or message. They’re happy to talk and connect with you. And I also learned that for business casual it can be anything from dresses, skirts, pants. It’s usually the blazer that transitions from business casual to business professional.
The professional headshot will especially be helpful for getting visibility on the site!
It’s really cool how the GRFs were able to provide free headshots for people using LinkedIn or any professional job platform. This sounded like a great event!
