Review this LinkedIn article in CareerQuest and access the related links.

Watch this 45 minute presentation by LinkedIn representatives on the Learn From the Experts

Create an account on LinkedIn and complete your profile (*If there are professional or personal reasons why you cannot complete a LinkedIn profile, complete a CareerQuest profile, and set it to private. You may delete this profile as soon as your faculty member has graded it.) Make sure your profile is at least 90% complete. Include a professional-looking headshot, a succinct headline that describes you, your work history going back 10 to 15 years at least, your education including your current degree program at University of Maryland University College, and your skills. Connect with other members of the class, colleagues from work, and other professionals that you know. As you connect, start endorsing your connections for their skills with which you are familiar. Soon they will endorse you for your skills. Identify at least five potential employers that you would like to follow and at least one professional association.

Theme 2:

Staying abreast of issues, trends, and research in healthcare is important to the success of the healthcare professional and the community at large. For this activity, you will:

Locate a current article related to healthcare and specific to the healthcare sector that you are most interested in. Ensure that the article comes from a credible source of information.

After reading the article in detail, write 1-2 paragraphs that will serve as a summary of the information contained in the article and your analysis of that information. This should demonstrate an understanding of the material, independent analysis, and critical thinking skills.

Spend some time locating a group on LinkedIn that is specific to your area of interest or the sector of healthcare that you are wanting to work in. Join that group.

Share the article, along with your 1-2 paragraph analysis, on LinkedIn to the group you joined. You should have a LinkedIn profile already set up but if not, you will need to do this (Theme 1).

Finally, share a direct link to the LinkedIn group within your post that includes your article and the summary.

NOTE: The faculty and the students should be able to see what you posted on the LinkedIn group/LinkedIn profile. The faculty will grade the summary of the article you made and the accomplished activity in developing a LinkedIn profile, and joining a group. Your Peers will comment on the article and your Linkedin Profile.
