Testimonials

"Thanks for this LinkedIn training -- I loved it!"


"I love this challenge! The challenge not only helps me to further understand what LinkedIn could be used for, it also explains the various adjustments that could be made in order for me to produce a better or more professional LinkedIn Profile Page!"


"Jennifer's training really really opened my eyes to what can be done with LinkedIn. She shifted my mindset that LinkedIn is a pure job search engine to the idea that LinkedIn can be used to reach out to your science community. I especially liked that the course was so tailored to my interest as a professor."


"This challenge was exactly what I needed to make my LinkedIn profile. As a professor, I didn't know how I could use LinkedIn. Now I have a great profile that shows up in Google."


"I'm going into my last year of the PhD. This was just what I needed to prepare for my next steps. Jennifer's videos were friendly and informative. If you're in grad school - take this challenge!"

Hi, I'm Jennifer (@HigherEdPR)! I'm happy you found my LinkedIn profile course. I love working with professors to build an amazing online presence that shares their research, teaching, and values with the world. But you don't have to work with me 1-on-1. You can 100% do this yourself.

I have free resources to help you on The Social Academic blog. A LinkedIn profile is well worth the effort wherever you are in your academic career.

I created this pre-recorded training to empower you to build your LinkedIn profile yourself. Whether you've had your profile for years, or you're just joining now, LinkedIn is my top recommendation for academics who want a strong online presence beyond their university.

Let's to it together with these pre-recorded lessons I made to help you along the way. And, if you finish it and find you want support from me, my private scheduling link is inside for a 1-on-1 consultation.

There's no risk when you sign up for this training. You get a 14-day money back guarantee with your course purchase.

Not sure if the course is a good fit for you? Think you need 1-on-1 support like my LinkedIn VIP Day where we build your profile together? Let's talk on a no pressure Zoom call.
