LinkedIn is more than just a Social Network
The PVCC Career Services offers a photo booth to take a business photo to upload to a social network called LinkedIn, which offers students a chance to network with other people or even make a connection for future employment.
Job & Internship Coordinator Gigi Davis said LinkedIn is a good way for students to connect with a future employer. She listed the advantages of using LinkedIn, such as obtaining the newest information, narrowing the list of employers and building a network of contacts and connections. Davis wants the students to be successful in finding a job and makes sure they have every advantage of obtaining employment.
Davis also said a few of the students didn’t think they be on LinkedIn because they weren’t professionals, but she stated, “You are professionals.” She also mentioned that the students need to sell their abilities and experiences, and what better way than networking on LinkedIn?
Therefore, Davis set up Drop-In Job-Win/LinkedIn Photo Booth to help any student find their future employer. When a student takes their photo with career services, they will also review the student’s resume.
Career Services holds this event from 4:30-6:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of the month in the Bolick Student Center.
Even if the student decides not to take their photo to upload to LinkedIn, they can still make use of career services because they offer a variety of career and job search resources.
Students can make an appointment with Andre Luck, career services manager or Gigi Davis, job & internship coordinator at careers@pvcc.edu or call 434-961-5336.
