    Thank you for sharing the insights from the LinkedIn workshop! The emphasis on personal branding and crafting a professional profile is so important, especially for students looking to make a strong first impression in their careers. The distinction between a LinkedIn profile and a resume is particularly useful—LinkedIn provides a dynamic platform to tell your story in your own words, while also showcasing your education, skills, and accomplishments. The tips on headlines and profile photos serve as a great reminder of the professional image we need to project. Overall, it’s clear that utilizing LinkedIn effectively can open doors to meaningful professional connections. Grateful for the takeaways! the commenter
