This past Monday morning, I hosted a workshop titled &#8220;<strong>LinkedIn \u2013 The Best Social Media to Find a Job<\/strong>&#8220;. And like every time, the experience left me energised, inspired, and deeply grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n        .libutton {\n          display: flex;\n          flex-direction: column;\n          justify-content: center;\n          padding: 7px;\n          text-align: center;\n          outline: none;\n          text-decoration: none !important;\n          color: #ffffff !important;\n          width: 200px;\n          height: 32px;\n          border-radius: 16px;\n          background-color: #0A66C2;\n          font-family: \"SF Pro Text\", Helvetica, sans-serif;\n        }\n      <\/style>\n<a class=\"libutton\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/comm\/mynetwork\/discovery-see-all?usecase=PEOPLE_FOLLOWS&#038;followMember=aswinlutchanah\" target=\"_blank\">Follow on LinkedIn<\/a>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But first, a small confession. I realise I haven&#8217;t always had the chance to share all the behind-the-scenes stories recently. Sometimes, life moves fast, and I find myself already living the next moment before I can properly tell the last one. But here I am, taking a moment to dive into this one with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The workshop brought together a new group of students, all curious and open to learning how LinkedIn can help them land their next opportunity.&nbsp;We started with the basics, focusing on what makes LinkedIn such a powerful platform&nbsp;in today\u2019s job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, we explored:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How to search and filter jobs effectively<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What makes a LinkedIn profile stand out<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The importance of a clear headline and strong summary<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to start building a professional network, even as a student<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why LinkedIn is more than just an online CV<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the session, I shared a mix of practical tips and personal stories, the kind that spark real conversations. There were questions, smiles, and a lot of note-taking. Most of all, there was a shared sense of purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also briefly touched on a concept that will take centre stage in our next workshop:&nbsp;<strong>E-reputation<\/strong>. I offered a small teaser about the power of managing your online image and how a strong, positive digital presence can help jobs find you, not just the other way around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we wrapped up, we took our traditional group photo with the students who were happy to be part of it. It is always a lovely moment of connection and celebration. Thank you to each student who participated, brought their energy, and made the session meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And of course, my heartfelt thanks to&nbsp;Romain Raux&nbsp;from the Career Centre. Your support and collaboration are what make these workshops possible semester after semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To anyone reading this who is exploring their professional path: LinkedIn can be a powerful ally. Start where you are. Show up authentically. Keep building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>? A Moment to Remember<\/strong><br>Here\u2019s a glimpse of the group that brought such great energy to the room.<br>Thank you again to the students who took part and to those who joined the photo. Your presence truly made it special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Want to see more from the session?<\/strong><br>?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:activity:7391562546232590336\/\">Check out the full post on LinkedIn<\/a><br>?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DQpa_vVjMES\/\">See the moment on Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Smile.
