How to Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile for Job Searching

LinkedIn is the leading professional networking social media platform. With so many people already on the platform, you must make the most of it and make your profile stand out from the crowd. 

Writing a Targeted Resume

Cookie-cutter resumes are a thing of the past. To stand out from the crowd, it’s important your resume answers the recruiter’s major question; 'How will I benefit from employing this person?'

Digital Equity for All Ages

At least 19% of the population who are aged 60 years or older don’t have access to or aren’t confident using technology such as computers or smart phones.
