This video is from a session I delivered in November 2019 about LinkedIn. (Video resolution gets better from 0:48 onward apologies for the quality of the first half a minute or so. ). The audience was University colleagues. Mainly administrators and a few academics and PhD students. I hope some of the content may be of use to other colleagues who are late adopters of LinkedIn. I find it a useful platform, but as with every digital tool, you need to find the right balance and consider a long term strategy and time investment (its a marathon not a sprint). In this video, I explain some of the basics, for example, it is hard to trust and connect with someone who is not using a picture for their profile. This may be counterintuitive in some countries or some professions. For example, in the UK, the norm is to ensure that there is no photo in your CV (whilst in most European countries recruiters advice to include your photo in the CV).
