CFA Society Perth, CFA Society Sydney and CFA Society Melbourne have collaborated to bring you the following webinar:

Positioning Yourself Professionally Online - Building Presence Across LinkedIn

Your digital profile has never been as important as it is today in our new world of working remotely, online meetings and virtual networking. Developing your professional presence online has become a key ingredient to success for today’s investment professional.

LinkedIn is one of the first places that clients, colleagues and potential employers will go to find out who you are…what does your online presence currently ‘say’ about you?

In this workshop, you will learn how to:

• build your personal brand across LinkedIn
• better engage with and build your network
• understand the LinkedIn algorithm so you can increase the probability of appearing in candidate searches
• build engagement through becoming a CFA brand ambassador

Why should you attend this workshop?

Over 50% of employment opportunities are not advertised through traditional channels: recruiters, HR professionals and hiring managers use LinkedIn as their hunting ground. You may not be looking for your next job, but once your online profile is polished then the head hunters will come looking for you.

Details on the event and a link to apply for tickets are below. Please note that you will be required to create an account with the CFA Institute in order to register for this event.
