Lock In with LinkedIn
As a volunteer for the LinkedIn Profile Event at San Jose State University, my goal was to support students and professionals in enhancing their career readiness by helping set up booths that reflected key components of a LinkedIn profile, such as About Me, Experience, Headshot, and LinkedIn Learning. I worked the Headshot booth for the entire event, where I guided attendees through a feedback survey before they received professional headshots. This helped students and job seekers improve their online presence. Through this role, I was able to network with recruiters, graduate students, and classmates, gaining insights into different career paths. I learned the value of clear communication, event coordination, and how small contributions can have a meaningful impact on others’ professional development.
