The session began with an introduction to LinkedIn as a powerful tool for networking, job hunting, and career advancement. Ms. Vijayashanthi highlighted how LinkedIn has evolved into an essential platform for professional branding. She emphasized the need for a strong online presence to stand out to recruiters, employers, and industry peers.
Both Ms. Vijayashanthi and Ms. Jeeva stressed the importance of building a strong network on LinkedIn and provided an insight into the LinkedIn Premium Account.
