Th Jobs Shed

As new research from LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional community, finds that 62 per cent of UK employees feel a renewed sense of optimism about opportunities post-lockdown, and 42 per cent are looking to make a new job a priority now that lockdown is over, the two-day event has been designed to help get their professional lives back on track after a challenging year.

Planted on a stunning rooftop in central London, the free, socially-distanced, two-day event will help people ready for a career change and those looking to cultivate their current one.

As well as complimentary refreshments and goody bags, attendees will have the chance to speak with career experts, LinkedIn advisors and a host of big brands who are currently hiring. The Jobs Shed activities include:

Tools of the trade - receive advice from LinkedIn career experts, who will also be on hand to help build LinkedIn profiles which stand out to employers and recruiters.

Seeds of change - meet recruiters and hiring managers from companies, such as Patch Plants, with live job opportunities. Discuss skills and experience, find out more about the company and its roles, and potentially land an on-the-spot interview.

Roots to success - listen to a talk from Sarah Ellis, one of the authors of The Sunday Times Bestseller The Squiggly Career, who will share her job history, tips on building a professional community and answer questions from attendees.

Photo-synthesis - get a free professional head-shot taken by our on-site photographer (and then update your LinkedIn profile picture).

Grow bags - leave with a £50 Patch Plant gift voucher, your own copy of The Squiggly Career book and LinkedIn’s Job Search Guide.
