Join Maryland HIMSS for an interactive LinkedIn workshop and Panel Discussion from Hiring Mangers

Our April event features a workshop led by Colleen McKenna where participants will gain a better understanding of LinkedIn and how job hunters can use it to their advantage, followed by a panel discussion from hiring managers offering tips and tricks for how to ace your interview! 


During the workshop, led by Colleen McKenna from Intero Advisory, participants will be left with a deeper understanding of LinkedIn features, branding, networking and engagement. This highly interactive presentation will challenge you to think differently about LinkedIn and how you use it. You will gain clarity, insight and actionable next steps including how to elevate your presence, generate referrals and new business opportunities.

Participants will learn:

• The importance of a well-crafted LinkedIn profile

• How to nurture and expand your network

• The importance of engaging strategically on LinkedIn

• The value of Sales Navigator and LinkedIn Recruiter

Following the workshop will be a short panel discussion on Insights during the Hiring Process. Panelists include Colleen McKenna, Founder and CEO of Intero Advisory, Theresa Mazzaro, RN, CHCR, Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist at Johns Hopkins Suburban Hospital, as well as MDHIMSS Board Members Jackie Rice, CIO of Frederick Health and Henry Archibong, Associate Vice President of Innovation at Inovalon. This discussion will include a review of resume and interviewing experiences from the panel that will provide insight into how a resume nuance or interview answer could potentially keep you from landing the job.
