UWMadison affiliations
The social media landscape is vast and it is easy to miss important connections. For example, I just found out that UW-Madison is a member of “Beyond the Professoriate” (requires NetID login.) with 31 other Universities and Schools (*). The platform offers:
“AURORA is a professional development training platform for graduate students and PhDs that helps them successfully transition into academic or nonacademic career paths. […]”
The free AURORA webinar “Why every PhD should be on LinkedIn and 3 steps to get you started” listed in the UW calendar (today.wisc.edu, Wednesday, April 13, 2022, 11 a.m.-12 p.m., Free, Zoom) caught my attention:
DESCRIPTION: LinkedIn is one of the fastest growing social media platforms. It’s the number one place companies post jobs, and it’s where recruiters look for talent. You want to be on LinkedIn, confidently connecting with professionals, sharing resources, and connecting with recruiters. How can you make the most of your LinkedIn profile? In this webinar, the Beyond Prof team will share with you 3 action steps you can take today to build and maintain your LinkedIn profile.
