The importance of networking

and building an online profile

Sue Beckingham | @suebecks | Sheffield Hallam University

Keynote Speaker at the Stemettes #MonsterConfidence Sheffield Event

There are opportunities to network, connect and learn

from and with others whenever and where ever you are

Social media can open up new opportunities to build networks. How do you use these spaces?

What does your online presence look like?

What would others find if they 'googled' you?

Why is it important to have

a professional photo and bio?

"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement.

Nothing can be done without hope and confidence"

Helen Keller

But first of all you need to...

Find your purpose

Build connections with other students and professionals

across the world
