To reach even more people outside of your network, be sure to add the #StudentVoices hashtag in the body of your post. Once you’ve published, your most recent posts will appear at the top of your LinkedIn profile. You’ll also have a hyperlink to your posts that you can share or even put on your resume for potential employers to see. To access that hyperlink, just click “See more” from your profile and copy the link.
