When you hear "Career Prep", where do you think you need to start?
I need to update my resume...
I should probably call around for possible work connections...
I need to practice my interviewing skills...
I don't know where to start at all. If you're like most people, you'll probably think something around this ballpark. Want to know the best place to start? The answer may surprise you but it's actually LinkedIn.
So that's where we're going to start. We'll share why this is a vital first step in the career prep process and provide the tools and guidance you'll need along the way so you can build a professional LinkedIn profile and land that stepping-stone opportunity.
