Presentation:
“LinkedIn Changes”
LinkedIn is recognized as a primary source for networking, including job search. Keeping up with the changes, which occur regularly and without much notice, can be challenging. Through my presentation I’ll be letting you know not only what’s changed, but how you can take advantages of those changes especially as they relate to using LinkedIn mobile – which is already using just as often as the desktop version
About the speaker:
Ken Lang
Kenneth Lang, founder of KML Consultants, was an early adopter of LinkedIn. Starting in 2008 he began sharing his LinkedIn expertise at networking events attended by job seekers, business professionals, career coaches and other decision makers. He was invited to LinkedIn to learn about future changes to the platform which he shares at events like these and by posting regularly on their platform. He’s currently consulting at AMC Networks in New York as an Agile Business Analyst
Kenneth belongs to and facilitates several networking groups in NJ where he sees a need for better and relevant LinkedIn knowledge. Volunteering and ‘paying it forward’ are important as part of his personal mission. He’s part of the Rutgers New Start Career Network which provides older (ages 45+) long-term unemployed New Jersey job seekers with access to free, personalized career services, including web-based information resources and in-person and virtual career coaching- https://www.newstartcareernetwork.org. He’s also a mentor at the William Paterson University Pesce Institute, which helps prepare students for their careers or graduate education. The institute matches students with a mentor who can offer them career advice and guidance. Next month Ken will be launching a Linkedin Local event in northern New Jersey.
He and his wife live in Wayne, N.J. They have two sons (26 and 19) and a daughter-in-law.
