LinkedIn masterclass returns to VU

Together with SBE Career Services, students learn to stand out online and take charge of their career path.

“Your online presence is now just as important as your CV.”

Back at the VU! After the successful LinkedIn Masterclass in 2023 with Enno Masurel, we’re back to work with students from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam — and I’m truly excited about it.

Together with SBE Career Services and Norbert Broekman, I’m helping students from the School of Business and Economics strengthen their LinkedIn presence. In a time when your online visibility is nearly as important as your CV, this is far from a luxury.

The focus? Visibility, personal branding, and smart networking. Everything you need as a student to take the leap toward an internship, entry-level job, or your own business.

Even the National Education Guide wrote about it (see article in the comments):
“With the workshop by entrepreneur and LinkedIn expert Michiel Verstraten, the VU aims to better position students for recruiters and employers.”
Norbert Broekman: “We see that LinkedIn and networking are becoming increasingly important for that first step toward the job market.”

Thanks to the VU for the trust. I’m looking forward to once again guiding young professionals in building their future.

Show me the magic in real life 🪄
