How can you best use social media to your advantage? Come along to an information session focussing on LinkedIn, on Thursday 17 July 2014, 12-1 pm, with Q&A for AMREP based postgraduate students and early-mid career researchers, presented by Monash University's Senior Social Media Strategist, Samantha Blair (pictured) and CCS's Communications and Marketing Manager, Julia Veitch.

This session is best suited to first time LinkedIn users or those who may have set up an account but not yet engaged.
