LinkedIn Career Services Webinar Slides - December 2013

Editor's Notes

  1. It is my pleasure and privilege to welcome you on behalf of LinkedIn. I am your presenter Lindsey Pollak coming to you live from New York City. Kevin Grub of Villanova University is our moderator. Welcome! We are thrilled that you have joined us. Welcome and thank you for spending this next hour with us!
  2. I’d like to begin with one of my favorite stories about the power of LinkedIn. It comes from a small community college where a student walked in to the career center one day and told the career counselor that he wanted to be an ophthalmologist. The community college had no classes related to this, but the student was so passionate and eager, she really wanted to encourage his career plans, knowing it would be a long road ahead. So she went into LinkedIn and typed in to the search box the name of the community college and the word “ophthalmologist.” Up popped one single name of a man who had graduated from the college and gone on to that career. The counselor helped the student write an introductory email and the alum responded right away. He was thrilled to help this student and became on ongoing mentor. That is just one story of many I’m excited to share with you today about how LinkedIn can help you and your students in valuable, meaningful ways.
  3. Our goal in this one-hour webinar is to twofold: 1) to help you do your job better as a career services professional and 2) to help your students and alumni help themselves to find jobs and advance in their careers more effectively. I will share several live demos so you can see LinkedIn in action and also share many examples from career centers around the world.
  4. If you miss anything or want to review any of the content, this webinar will be archived so you can listen and watch again if you’d like and we will be offering this webinar live every month if you’d like to attend again or recommend to your colleagues.Here is where the video is archived, where you can download the slides and where you can find other resources for your career center, such as downloadable worksheets.
  5. Of course, the advantage to listening to this webinar LIVE is that you can ask your questions. Simply type your question in the “Q&A” area on your screen and they will be answered on your screen during the webinar and our moderator will feed me some questions at the end. If you have any technical problems during the webinar you can type those in as well.
  6. I’d like to introduce myself so you know whose voice you are listening to. The best way to get to know me is, of course, through my LinkedIn profile and I invite you to connect with me on LinkedIn. To give a brief intro, I am career expert and the author of the book “Getting from College to Career.” I am also a Spokesperson for LinkedIn.
  7. We are going to begin with a brief overview of LinkedIn today.
  8. Here are newly updated statistics about LinkedIn. The main takeaway from this slide is that there are a whole lot of incredibly diverse people on LinkedIn – all together in one place -- Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, arts organizations, government agencies, small businesses, recruiters, active job seekers and passive job seekers. No matter what profession, position or locations your students want to work in, they’ll find related people and opportunities on LinkedIn. So let’s look at the many ways you and your career center can use this huge network to achieve your goals and help your students.
  9. Now let’s talk about how LinkedIn can help you and your career center. Many of these tactics and benefits we’ll cover in this section will apply to your students as well. But our goal here is to make sure you are comfortable with the site first. As flight attendants say, “Put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others.”
  10. These FOUR recommendations, which we’ll go through in detail, are the result of research and conversations with your colleagues to determine the specific ways that LinkedIn can benefit college career services professionals.
  11. Our first topic is how LinkedIn can build and enhance your brand as a career services professional.It’s a fact nowadays that very important people are Googling you. Employers considering recruiting at your school, parents, students, alumni, colleagues, academic faculty, the media, conference planners and many others. Joseph Du Pont, Director of the Hiatt Career Center at Brandeis University, has given us permission to look in-depth at his Google rankings, which provide a strong example of excellent professional presence and credibility. The first listing for Joe is his LinkedIn profile at #3 on a Google search for his name. The second listing is just a few months later after Joe became more active updating his LinkedIn profile and interacting with his LinkedIn connections. Today, because he took control of his professional online presence, Joe’s LinkedIn profile is now the first thing that appears when you Google his name. That has tremendous value for his personal brand and the reputation of his career center.
  12. Now I’m going to go live to the LinkedIn website and we’ll look in depth at an example of a strong career services professional’s profile…
  13. A quick tip to mention: add your LinkedIn URL to your email signature line as you see in this example. This shows anyone you email with that you are active in social media and eager to connect on LinkedIn.
  14. Onto our second way LinkedIn can help you and your career center: by enhancing your career center’s brand and services. There is a reality of how many people you can reach one-on-one. LinkedIn allows you to help thousands of students and alumni and create a community in which they can help and support each other. The main place you can accomplish this is by building a LinkedIn Group.
  15. What happens in a LinkedIn group? There are areas for discussion, job postings, news postings and more. Remember that a LinkedIn Group is a terrific SUPPLEMENT (not a replacement) to your website and other community-building and branding efforts. It is a place where students, alumni and career center staff can interact , build community and help one another. The benefits of a group – as you’ll see in more detail in a moment – include [CLICK]Enhancing your career center or alumni association’s brand online Increasing communication with students and alumni, like promoting events and surveys. Connecting students and alumni And list management – essentially, having a LinkedIn group is like having a database of the career paths and current contact information of thousands of your alumni. Many schools are already using their LinkedIn groups as a supplement to their existing databases because people are more likely to update their LinkedIn profiles than to send new contact or employer information to their universities.Now I’d like to take you inside a group and show you some of the new features.
  16. The first best practice is to actively manage your LinkedIn group.Regularly post and respond to discussion questions.EXAMPLES
  17. Here is another group best practice.One of the things you can do as a Group Manager is set up a template email that people will receive when they join your group. This is a great way to share some information about your career center and show that you are actively engaged in the group they just joined.Here is a nice example from Villanova University, providing some advice on how to engage in the group and the correct etiquette to use when reaching out to fellow group members.
  18. Now we’ll look at another major role of career centers – to attract more organizations to recruit your students and alumni. Mark Presnell is a frequent user of LinkedIn to help with Johns Hopkins’ efforts to attract more recruiters. He says… Let’s take a look at exactly how Mark does this…LIVE DEMO Advanced Search on “Johns Hopkins” and “Procter & Gamble” Nick Nikolides Contact preferences Sending messages
  19. Finally, Topic #4, LinkedIn is a great place to network and share resources and information with colleagues in the career services, alumni relations and recruiting professions.We’ve already looked at Groups you can create for your career center. I also recommend that you join groups related to the profession of career services for networking, discussions, job listings and more. On your screen you can see the very active NACE LinkedIn group.
  20. In addition to the NACE group, here are a few recommendations of groups on LinkedIn that are valuable for career services professionals…Personally, I find groups to join by checking out the profiles of people I admire and seeing what groups THEY belong to. I encourage you to reach out to your networks to ask what groups they find to be the most beneficial.
  21. I’d also like to invite you to join the official LinkedIn group for Career Services Professionals, where we discuss best practices for career centers using LinkedIn. I am the moderator and many LinkedIn staff members participate in this group as well.Use this group to share ideas, discussions and best practices with LinkedIn and with each other.
  22. Conduct student profile reviews Upload a professional but friendly profile photo — users w photos are 7x more likely to be viewed. Consider setting up a 'photo booth' in your officeCheck for completeness, including special sections just for students Look for an accurate but aspirational professional summaryUse keywords recruiters search for depending on the student's job targetComplete a description, again using important keywords
  23. Finally, we’ve created a whole collection of free materials for you to download and customize to help you teach LinkedIn to your students. You can access these on our website at http://university.linkedin.com.There are PowerPoint slides, videos and handouts.
  24. For the second half of the webinar, we’re going to look at the ways you can teach your students and alumni to use LinkedIn to help themselves in the job hunt and as their careers progress. Many students are not aware of LinkedIn and, in many cases, they are not familiar with the overall value of networking. As you’ll see in this section, part of educating students about how LinkedIn can help them find jobs is educating them about the process and etiquette of professional networking overall.
  25. We’re going to talk about five ways to help your students help themselves on LinkedIn. In each of these examples, LinkedIn is always a SUPPLEMENT, not a replacement, to what your Career Center offers.
  26. It’s no secret that many students don’t have – ahem – the most professional online presence on Facebook and YouTube. I know that you are more than aware of this, and I know that you are in the business of turning college students into mature professionals. LinkedIn is here to help you with that effort. Because LinkedIn is 100% professional, it provides that professional online branding and appropriate visibility that student need to project to recruiters, alumni and other professionals and grad school admissions officers. When students learn about LinkedIn they are incredibly excited to have a place online to promote a professional image.
  27. Recruiters agree…
  28. Here you can see I’ve taken the 5 golden rules of LinkedIn profiles and adapted them to student profiles.[CLICK THROUGH EACH TIP] Many career centers are beginning to teach LinkedIn profiles when they teach resume workshops and providing handouts or website articles about LinkedIn profile writing and other elements of the website. That is a terrific best practice.
  29. Onto our next topic. As you talk to your students about building a professional network on LinkedIn, you’re likely to hear this comment: “But I don’t know anyone!”This is the biggest resistance careers professionals told us they hear from students. Students join Facebook and immediately connect to 600 people. LinkedIn takes more patience and professional savvy. It also requires an understanding of who is actually in your network. LinkedIn provides a great opportunity to help students understand who is in their network and to connect with these important contacts. Networking doesn’t mean cold-calling dozens of people. It means connecting with the people you already know and building your network from there.
  30. If you haven’t done this already, or did it a long time ago, be sure to upload your existing address book of contacts – from Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook or elsewhere – and connect on LinkedIn to the people you already know.
  31. Slide 40: Insert a couple screenshots of alumni tool in case not doing live demo
  32. It’s important to remind students that it matters how they communicate and connect with people on LinkedIn, especially those they haven’t spoken to in a while or people they haven’t met. Remind them to be careful with “How do you know” question. They need to be honest if they don’t know the person. People get very irritated when you say you’re a friend and you’re not. On your screen is the generic LinkedIn connection request, but I advise students against sending this. As a student, they need to show they are a young person who is willing to go the extra mile.
  33. This is what I recommend: Write a brief, customized, polite note to explain your connection and why you want to connect. It’s also a good idea to thoroughly read the person’s LinkedIn profile and mention something that stood out to you or something you have in common. It is not appropriate to directly ask for a job in a connection request. As you can see in the example on your screen, I recommend using the request to build rapport and establish contact, then once the person accepts you can ask for advice or for the person to keep you in mind if he or she hears of any job opportunities that might be a good fit for you. Remember to use proper grammar and spelling – this is a professional communication that is contributing to your reputation. Remember that HOW you build your network is just as important as why you build it. Always be authentic, polite and positive. People will remember that when they hear about job openings.
  34. As students begin to build more and more connections, there is a new LinkedIn feature that will make it easier for them to find ways to interact with those connections.LinkedIn recently launched a new notifications feature, which keeps you notified in real-time when someone likes what you’ve shared on LinkedIn, views your profile, accepts your invitation or comments on a group discussion.You’ll see a notification flag at the top of your homepage and a new Inbox envelope icon. A red circle appears when you have something new, such as comments or likes on your shares, an accepted connection request, new inMails and more. So when students logs into LinkedIn, they can see a quick overview of what’s happening with the people they are connected to. This prompts opportunities, like being able to comment on someone’s status update or noticing that a recruiter has posted a new job.
  35. Social media is certainly a communication and networking tool for students. It is also a valuable research tool. This is the third way that LinkedIn can help your students find jobs and internships. When students comes to you with interest in a specific company, show them how to research using LinkedIn company pages. They will simultaneous learn valuable information about the company AND find networking connections into that company. LinkedIn Company pages feature a wealth of incredibly valuable information for student job seekers.
  36. LIVE DEMO TO LINKEDIN COMPANY PAGE: PwCHere you can research:What that company doesJob titles of anyone on LinkedIn who works there or has worked thereThe career paths people pursued before working at that company and after. This is great if you have a company or two in mind and you want to expand your list of potential employers. Remember that even if you find the seemingly “perfect” employer, it’s never a good idea to put all of your eggs in one basket and only apply to one companyYou can see where that company has all of its offices, which is great if you’re thinking about relocating to a new city or country. You can find the profiles of people who will be interviewing you – great tip for job interview prep!And, of course, you can see if that company has available jobs.

  38. Another brand new feature of LinkedIn is the Student Jobs Portal at www.linkedin.com/studentjobs.In a nutshell:
• LinkedIn has built a job portal for students and recent grads
• It provides quick access to entry-level jobs and internships on LinkedIn from the best companies in the world, including jobs in non-profit and government agencies Based on a student’s education and interests, LinkedIn will recommend jobs specifically targeted to that student – right on his or her home page or with optional email alerts. The student job portal is free.
  39. What if a student comes doesn’t know what company or industry he or she wants to work for and isn’t ready to look for jobs in the Student Jobs Portal? One of my favorite uses of LinkedIn is for students with nontraditional interests or students who are undecided. Encourage these students to use LinkedIn‘s Advanced Search as a starting point in their career research. Students can type in almost anything that interests them and discover how that interest might become a career option. For instance, let’s say a student think sit would be cool to work in baseball. But he’s not sure what kinds of jobs exist, where they are and what kind of experience you need to get those jobs. Just type the word “baseball” into LinkedIn’s Advanced Search tool and you’ll see the profiles of anyone on LinkedIn who has the word “baseball” in his or her LinkedIn profile. Essentially, LinkedIn is a database of the career paths of over 175 million people.
  40. In contrast, if you type the word “baseball” into Google, you get all sorts of information that has nothing to do with baseball career paths.
  41. When you type baseball into LinkedIn’s advanced search, all you get is career information.Here you can see almost 275,000 people on LinkedIn who mention baseball in their profiles. On this first search results page alone there are people working for Major League Baseball, local baseball programs, nonprofit baseball foundation and more.Of course, as you can see from the numbers next to each name, you can also see if you are personally connected to any of these people through your network or if you belong to the same LinkedIn group as any of them.
  42. Finally, now that your students are building their online brands and connecting professionally, you want to make sure they are networking appropriately. The Brandeis Career Center, run by Joe Du Pont, whose profile we saw at the beginning of this webinar, requires students to go through some steps before being accepted into their LinkedIn group.
  43. Ultimately, teaching students how to use LinkedIn is about helping young people make the transition from student to professional – from smiley faces and emoticons in their communications to professional networking correspondence like the one shown on LinkedIn. We have the privilege of helping to guide young people into their livelihoods, and skills they learn through their career centers and on LinkedIn – personal branding, networking, research and professional etiquette – will help set them on a lifelong path of success.
  44. Let’s wrap up with another round of questions. Moderator?[CLICK TO NEXT SLIDE: INSTRUCTIONS]
