On Thursday,
December 3 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Russell Library’s Jobs and Careers
Program will offer a free photo session for job seekers. The resulting photo
may be used for LinkedIn accounts and other professional sites. People are
asked to dress as they would for an interview.
A professional LinkedIn
profile can increase your visibility online and help you be located by a
potential employer. With a complete LinkedIn profile, your skills can be
validated by others with whom you network. It is a valuable tool in the search
for a job or career.
A photo will
help that potential employer recognize you, particularly if you’ve met them
before. It can also be used for introducing yourself to employers who may not
otherwise look at your profile. A professional image can be a statement of
welcome.
Russell
Library’s own Jason Neely has taken hundreds of great head shots, and
knows how to get a great photo. He is assisted by Bob Carlson, also on staff at
the library, who sets up the best lighting and background so that you can look
your best. The photos are accomplished within five to ten minutes. If you do
not understand how to upload them to your LinkedIn account, a librarian can
help you.
This program is
a drop-in program, and does not require registration. People are served on a
first-come, first-served basis.
