LinkedIn for Academics

This free webinar will help you cut through the LinkedIn confusion so that you can get visible online without adding another overwhelming task to your day.

If you already attended the webinar, and you'd like to leave feedback, you can use this form.

You know you "should" be on LinkedIn. Your head of department mentions it. Colleagues share articles. Job applications ask for your profile link.

But every time you log in, you feel overwhelmed. What should your headline say? How do you write about your research without sounding like a CV? Which posts actually matter?

You're already juggling teaching, research, and admin. The last thing you need is another platform demanding your attention without clear purpose or strategy.

This event will help you navigate LinkedIn without the overwhelm so that you can build your academic profile efficiently instead of wasting hours figuring it out alone.

This 60-minute session helps you build a LinkedIn presence that works for your specific academic goals - not a generic networking strategy that wastes your time.
