In the pandemic, a crisis of skilled people in the job sector has been experienced. It is high time to be skilled in order to achieve the dream job. To prepare the university students for the job sector and to make them skilled, Bangladesh Open Source Network (BdOSN) has organized Hands on Job Preparation Workshop on LinkedIn for Career Development. This online workshop was conducted on Zoom, held on December 31, 2021.

This workshop was conducted by Farhana Akter Khan, Business Analyst at eGeneration Ltd.

The content was designed in a way so that the participants (university students) understand why they should be on LinkedIn. The session started with the basic etiquettes of LinkedIn, followed by selecting the formal pictures for the profile. Ms. Farhana also described every aspect of a LinkedIn profile and how to modify them. One of the core features of the platform, connecting and interacting with someone in a formal way was explained with examples. Also, a LinkedIn profile was demonstrated for practical learning.

The session concluded with a note “Be so positive, whether in your real life or in LinkedIn, so that negative people don’t want to be near you!”. Lots of participants asked their queries to the resource person in this session.
