Workshop: Boost your business contacts with Linked In

Make professional contacts and give your career a boost with this business-oriented site

Social networking websites can provide far more than the latest gossip and news on your friends’ social lives.

The same principle of bringing people and groups together by common interest can boost your career, too.

Whether you’re in work, seeking a new path, in education or self-employed, social networking sites could well open doors for you.

In this short Workshop we’re going to guide you through the process of creating a profile on Linked In, a social networking site where people from all walks of life can make new contacts, seek new opportunities or catch up with former colleagues.

When we signed up, the site had more than 14 million registered users, spanning 150 industries.
