In this Lab #3 we are going to have a group activity, where your peers review your 2-5 Headline candidates. Then you will do a final "refining" your LinkedIn "Headline" and publish it.

If you stick around, we are going to have you work with your peers. (if you are part of a class, your classmates) You will have a chance to have others review your 2-5 Headline candidates. You will have an opportunity to review theirs. From this activity, you will have a chance to refine and then publish your best Headline.
Post your best, refines Headline.
Celebrate, that was some hard work.

#1 - LEARNING Lab Activity - Peer Review Of Your Top 5:

We are going to have you work with your peers. (if you are part of a class, your classmates) You will have a chance to have others review your 2-5 Headline candidates. You will have an opportunity to review theirs.

Take 15-20 min to review each others Headline candidates. Give feedback and make some edits, "shake" down your 2-5 Headline candidates to your final version.

Don't worry, you will still use all the rest in your "About" section "story"

LAB Activity:

Get into your group (or connect with 2-3 others on LinkedIn or other friends) and review each others 2-5 Headline candidates. Spend some time to discuss why you did what you did.
Take and give constructive criticism.
Help each other make edits.

#2 - LEARNING Lab Activity - Make Final Edits Based On Peer Feedback

It's "Go" time. Time to finalize your Headline:

LAB Activity:

After you have come back from your group discussion, spend about 10 more minutes and come up with your final top 2 versions of your Headline.
Pick the best one. Maybe ask a Friend for their input on which one they think is best. But remember , this is your headline, so go with the one you like best.
Publish your best Headline.

What's Next?:

You have gotten this far... you might as well keep going. Next we are going to learn about the importance of a Professional Profile Picture.
