Review LinkedIn Profile

February Challenge: Students, reach out to your mentor and ask him or her to review your LinkedIn profile and provide feedback on how to improve it. This could be done over the phone, in person, via email or on Skype. Mentors, your candid advice will help your student gain confidence in utilizing LinkedIn for their professional growth. 
 
For guidance and resources: Congratulations to Jasmine Wong Exp. '20 for completing last month's mock interview challenge and winning the UCLA giveaway!

Spotlight: Linda Havard, MBA '82, and Talia Aranha

When Talia was looking for a mentor, she wanted someone who shared her interests and enjoyed empowering women. “Linda, with her amazing work experience and clear passion for helping young women succeed in finance, was the perfect mentor for me!”

With a special place in her heart for ambitious women leaders, having founded a women’s leadership organization in California, Linda was thrilled to serve as Talia’s alumni mentor. “Talia exemplifies this with her extra-curricular activities, drive for excellence and maturity.”
