Writing your first LinkedIn post. Pretty exciting, right? 😅
Well, we’re all doing it right here, right now! At Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam), during our LinkedIn Masterclass on how to land your next internship or job.
Because your personal brand doesn’t start when you graduate. It starts while you’re still a student!
And here’s the challenge: how do you get your CV to the top of a recruiter’s list?
Hundreds of people apply for the same positions. Recruiters use automated screening tools, and sometimes you don’t even get the chance to show who you really are.
So don’t just wait to be discovered. Take the initiative!
Just do two things:
- Start connecting. Reach out to recruiters, hiring managers and professionals at the companies you’d love to work for. Don’t wait until a vacancy appears. Start building relationships today.
- Start posting. Share what you’re learning, your interests, your expertise and your ambitions. Show people who you are and what you can bring to the table.
If recruiters have already seen your name, expertise and initiative a few times before you even apply, you’re already one step ahead of many other candidates.
That’s how you stand out!
And this is our very first video from today’s Masterclass. Who else dares to make one? We’ll see! 🤣
One thing is certain: we’re going to see plenty of first LinkedIn posts today!
Let’s go! 🚀
Thanks to all the students and Tamar Pagrach for bringing that amazing energy once again!
