Did you know that what recruiters saw when your profile appeared in their searches wasn’t what you might have expected? And did you know that most professionals - including MBA graduates and business school alumni - overlooked the most critical sections of their LinkedIn profiles, making them less likely to stand out in a highly competitive job market?
This insightful AMBA & BGA webinar, hosted by The CV & Interview Advisors - career development experts featured in Authority Magazine, the BBC, The Telegraph, and The Guardian - equipped attendees with the tools to optimise their LinkedIn presence for maximum recruiter visibility and impact. Drawing on over 20 years of industry experience, the session provided clear, practical strategies tailored to the needs of business school students, graduates, and professionals across higher education and management education.
During this dynamic 45-minute session, participants:
Viewed actual screenshots from LinkedIn Recruiter to understand how hiring managers and talent teams viewed their profiles
Learned why commonly overlooked sections were often the most important - and how to fix them
Received a blueprint for structuring key areas like the Headline, About section, and Experience section
Discovered how to position themselves strategically using case studies, projects, and value statements
Uncovered the "dark art" of thought leadership and how it could elevate their personal brand
Gained actionable tips on networking with decision-makers and building visibility within their target industries
The session was especially valuable for business school graduates seeking career progression, teaching faculty supporting employability outcomes, and educational institutions aiming to equip their alumni with competitive job search skills in an evolving employment landscape.
