Get Connected: Unleashing the Power of LinkedIn at The Boston Public Library | Boston

About this event

This fall the Boston Public Library will open its doors to General Assembly on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. We will host some of our most popular classes on marketing at the Central Library’s Commonwealth Salon to give you the practical, hands-on training you need to pursue work you love.

With 332+ million users and a reported 95% of recruiters using it to actively search for candidates, LinkedIn is the ultimate job search tool. However, too many job seekers and career changers fall for the allure of The Sleeping Beauty Myth: create a profile, do nothing, and let the jobs magically come to you. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to be proactive on LinkedIn and create your own fairy tale ending.
