LinkedIn isn't just an online CV anymore - it's one of the best platforms for building your personal brand and creating opportunities.

This session was recorded at LinkedInMaxxing: The Career Growth Playbook, a hands-on workshop for students, grads, and early-career professionals at the Royal Society of Arts (RSA), hosted by Anna Nguyen on behalf of Tea Time Tips & Global Shapers London Hub I (part of the Global Shapers Community, a World Economic Forum initiative).
