This will be a joint event with IMD Alumni Club of Canada on how to build a great linkedin profile & social media brand for your career success.

In today’s market, if you are looking to build your professional brand or connect with the right people or make a career move, you need to have a compelling social media presence, especially on LinkedIn. How you present yourself needs to be well strategized and well-constructed. The problem is recruiters will tell you that most social media profiles are awful. Why? Because no one has told you how…until now.

Please see the events page for further information and tickets.

Our colleagues at the Canadian Friends of the LSE have invited the Oxbridge Alumni to two upcoming events.

The first (in conjunction with the London Goodenough Association of Canada (LGAC))is a wine tasting experience by Rogers and Company Chateau, Villa, and Estate Wines who will guide you, starting with the new world hot spots of New Zealand and California as well as the grape’s ancestral home in France.

The second is an expert panel discussion with three views of the future of Canada’s relationship with Europe: hear from Mel Cappe (former Clerk of the Privy Council and Ambassador to the UK) who will share his experience of being Canada’s top representative in the UK; Stefania Szabo, Consul General of Hungary, Toronto, Ontario, Canada will give a European view on how Canada can work with Europe; Mark Warner, an expert on international trade law, will give the perspective of Canada’s business relationship with Europe now that CETA has been signed.

Our monthly pub night is on the last Tuesday of the month from 6pm at the Oxley pub in Yorkville. The next meet up is on Tuesday 25th of October. Come and enjoy the relaxed pub atmosphere and catch up with friends.

It was great to see a number of new faces at last month’s pub night and we hope to see even more this month. We always have alumni from a variety of backgrounds, ages, interests and experiences at these events and we hope that will continue.
