Workshops
How LinkedIn works, what makes a profile get found, how to write posts and message people, and how the job market on LinkedIn really operates.
University of Leeds · Student society
A student-run society that teaches every Leeds student how to build a personal brand, grow a real network and find opportunities on LinkedIn.

Careers services cover CVs and interviews well. LinkedIn sits in between, and right now students learn it alone, late, or not at all.

About
A clear headline and a story that explains what I care about and where I'm heading.
Found for internships and graduate roles
Drag to compare
Who it is for
Personal branding is not a business school skill, it is a career skill, and international students in particular need a way to build a UK network from zero.
Undergraduates
Start early and graduate with a network, not just a degree.
Postgraduates
Turn a one-year course into lasting industry connections.
International students
Build a UK network from zero, with people who get it.
All faculties
Engineers, artists, medics: every career runs on people.
Aspiring founders
Use LinkedIn to find customers, collaborators and investors.
Job seekers
Be found by recruiters instead of chasing job boards.
Not just personal branding: profile building, content, networking and outreach, job search, industry research, and using LinkedIn to grow a business or freelance work.
What we run
Profile building sessions
Hands-on clinics where members rebuild their profile live: headline, about section, experience, featured work. Students leave with a finished profile, not a to-do list.
Guest speakers
Recruiters, alumni, founders and LinkedIn creators sharing how they hire, network and build on the platform, with open Q&A for members.
Posting challenges
10-day and 30-day commitments where members post consistently, support each other and build the habit of showing up. Consistency is what makes a profile grow.

client retention
Nisha and Ankit ran The Brand Salt, a LinkedIn personal branding agency, before moving to Leeds for their master's degrees. They built profiles, content and networks for founders, coaches and senior professionals. The society gives that experience to students for free.

What we bring to Leeds
For students
A real, usable skill with a visible result: a profile and network that keep working after graduation.
For the university
More visible, better-connected graduates, and a student-led answer to a gap the current societies do not cover.
For the community
A network of Leeds students and alumni who support each other's posts, connect each other to opportunities and stay in touch.
