Career coaching session

With great excitement we are organizing a mentoring programme together with LinkedIn. During this programme you will be matched to a LinkedIn employee, who will coach you during the programme. There are only a few spots available, so sign up quickly for the LinkedIn mentoring programme!

Also check out our interview with Marcel Molenaar and Nadie Snijders about LinkedIn and our partnership (In Dutch).

What does the mentoring programme involve?

Over the course of 4 months, you'll receive support from a mentor at LinkedIn. During  this programme you will talk with your mentor biweekly and during these conversations, you will work on your professional development, expanding your professional network and work on your LinkedIn presence. Hence, you will discover what LinkedIn is all about and why you should use it in the first place. What makes a strong LinkedIn profile? What is your personal brand? How can you showcase that on LinkedIn? How do you find the 'right' connections and how can you build your network? Last but not least, how can LinkedIn help you in landing your dream job?

Please note: the mentor programme doesn't guarantee a job at LinkedIn and instead it does increase your chances of success in the Dutch job market by improving your network, skills, and knowledge.
