Ice Breaker! – Speed Interviews
Go around to audience members and let them know
four things about you:
1.Your Name
2. Your Major
3. Your Career Passion
4. Something interesting about yourself.
After 4 minutes I will call time and ask a random select
group of people to tell me what they’ve learned about
the person they “speed-interviewed”. If you can recall
all four things, you’ll get a chocolate bar!

Importance of LinkedIn
• LinkedIn is an awesome networking tool for
professionals in any field.
• Once you start creating connections, your odds
of connecting with potential employers, and
business partners can be increased
exponentially.

Creating a Personal url
• Helps people more easily navigate to your profile.
• Great to put on business cards.

Brand Yourself!
• I became friends with a lady that graduated
from a University in Hawaii over Instagram:
Sydney Diamond
• She was able to create some personal
starters for branding myself on my
social networks.
