Most employers check your LinkedIn profile before they offer you a job. 

Your LinkedIn profile is your living resume and business card so it speaks volumes about you when applying for a job, an internship, promoting your cause, applying for grad school, or being known as an expert in your field.  Additionally, LinkedIn is the best place to network, learn about an industry or company, and connect with like-minded industry professionals.

To help you on this journey, the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship is hosting the Level Up Your LinkedIn Challenge competition to transform your profile into a career magnet and possibly win you some prizes!!! Open to all!
