About this Event

Week -2 Digital Clean up & LinkedIn Lab


Bring: Laptop + charger (essential)



What you’ll learn (and actually use)
  • Professional digital footprint: audit Google results, fix privacy settings, and remove/redesign posts that undercut credibility.
  • Recruiter reality check: what hiring managers actually scan (photo, headline, About, top 3 experiences, skills, activity).
  • LinkedIn that works: headline formula, punchy “About,” quantified bullets with STAR proof, clean URL, contact settings.
  • Social media alignment: tighten Instagram/TikTok/X bios, highlights, and privacy so your platforms don’t contradict your CV.
  • Email signature + contact hygiene: consistent identity across LinkedIn, CV, and email.

Why it matters

You’re searched before you’re shortlisted. A messy online presence quietly disqualifies strong candidates.

Week 2 gives you a clean, credible digital profile that supports interviews, internships, and referrals.


You’ll leave with
  • Polished LinkedIn profile: refreshed photo/banner, sharp headline, focused About, STAR bullets, skills, and a custom URL.
  • Recruiter-ready settings: correct visibility, contact options, and “Open to Work.”
  • 30-minute Social Media Clean-Up Plan: privacy checks, bio refresh, and highlights/pins for Instagram/TikTok/X.
  • Professional email signature: copy-paste template with role, links, and conventions.
  • Personal brand tagline: one-line value statement aligned to target roles.
  • Metrics to prove impact: quantified results added to two key experiences.
  • Coach notes: one priority upgrade + a one-week action list to lock in gains.

What to bring
  • Laptop + charger (non-negotiable).
  • Notebook/pen (we’ll also provide a checklist).
  • Smart-casual—comfortable for working.

Who this is for
  • Students with good content, weak online framing.
  • People who worry past posts could cost opportunities.
  • Society leaders/volunteers who want their impact to show credibly online.
  • Career-switchers or international students needing UK-norm signals.
