LinkedIn for Graduates and Education Leavers
Using LinkedIn to Build Your Future with Clarity and Purpose
LinkedIn is one of the most valuable tools you can use to explore career opportunities, build connections and stand out to employers. Whether you are a graduate, student or education leaver, using LinkedIn with intention can help you discover roles, make contacts and present yourself in a way that reflects your potential.
At Career Garage, we help you understand how to use LinkedIn to support your goals, from building your first profile to making your presence count.
Expand Your Professional Network
LinkedIn helps you connect with tutors, teachers, past employers and professionals across industries. We show you how to grow your network in a way that feels natural, not awkward. These connections can lead to advice, introductions or opportunities you might not find anywhere else.
Access the Hidden Job Market
Not all jobs are advertised. Many opportunities are shared privately through referrals or networks. We show you how to use LinkedIn to tap into these hidden opportunities by being visible, approachable and connected.
Showcase Your Personal Brand
Your profile is more than a digital CV. It is your chance to tell your story, who you are, what you care about and where you are going. We help you shape your summary, highlight your achievements and present your experience in a way that speaks to employers even if you are just starting out.
Stay Informed and Engaged
LinkedIn is also a place to learn. We show you how to follow the right companies, join industry groups and engage with useful content so you can stay updated on what matters in your field. Being part of the conversation builds confidence and credibility.
Research Employers and Tailor Your Approach
You can learn a lot about a company before you apply. LinkedIn gives you insight into culture, recent updates and employee experiences. We help you use this information to tailor your applications, prepare for interviews and understand whether a role is right for you.
Strengthen Your Applications
An optimised LinkedIn profile is a great way to complement your CV and cover letter. It gives employers a fuller picture of who you are. We help you make sure your profile is aligned, complete and makes a strong impression when recruiters click through.
