Description
Whether you are a freelancer looking for translation jobs and networking opporutnites (aren't we all? ;), a new translator starting in the industry, or looking for an employed job (whether in a translation agency or in a whole other industry), you can't ignore LinkedIn (anymore).

But how to make sure you're doing the best use of this very powerful tool without spending too much time on it? Join us in this webinar where you'll learn about LinkedIn good practices, etiquette and some powerful strategies and tips that will get you to the next LinkedIn level.
