Get Started with LinkedIn

Here are four reasons to create a LinkedIn Profile:

1) Grow a professional network

A professional network can be a significant asset, providing access to opportunities and supporting career development. Connecting with peers, lecturers, colleagues, and industry professionals helps maintain relationships built throughout a dual career.

2) Showcase skills and achievements

Share experiences, achievements, and key updates on LinkedIn as this can strengthen personal branding, demonstrate capability, and increase visibility among potential collaborators or employers.

3) Search for job and internship opportunities

Use LinkedIn’s job board to search for jobs and internships and set alerts to receive email updates when opportunities are available. Network connections may also share openings at their workplaces, providing another way to learn about new opportunities.

4) Stay up to date with organisations and industry trends

Follow companies and professional groups aligned with interest areas, values, and career goals to stay informed of latest updates, including new projects, job opening, and emerging trends.
