Creating the Complete LinkedIn Profile & Experience: Train the Trainer


This seminar explores how to teach clients or students how to use LinkedIn to find employment. It addresses the three major components of LinkedIn, namely creating a powerful profile, building a focused network, and engaging with one’s connections. It is hands-on, with short readings and videos to reinforce the lessons.

This seminar is interactive, e.g., participants revise their own profile, and observe a LinkedIn profile critique of one participant; actively connect with 10-15 LinkedIn members,  engage with people on LinkedIn. Participants are evaluated on their discussion and work they do on LinkedIn.

I just finished the Peak-Careers Advising Using Happenstance Seminar and found it to be both informative and thought provoking. It is a nice mix of discussions with other professionals, useful readings and exercises, and new insights. I finished the whole experience with a number of ideas that I am eager to integrate in my work with students.

Just finished a great online class, Transition Theory in Career Advising through Peak-Careers. Thanks Jim Peacock for the enlightening course and a reasonable way to keep my career development certification. Really was another good class (as was Happenstance last year) to help me help others better in my job at the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development. Kudos!

Jim’s seminars are unique and a great way to receive training (which includes interaction with other participants); without ever leaving your desk! Jim is knowledgeable, passionate about helping people with career related needs and his classes are well organized and very valuable. I have completed his Happenstance and Transition Theory seminars and both were very informative and convenient! With his seminars, you gain practical, useful information in a short period of time.
