Pick up a new language

Utilize LinkedIn
LinkedIn is heavily used by organizations to post job opportunities, grow visibility of their organization, network and share industry trends. Because businesses so heavily use LinkedIn, it is almost expected that will have an up-to-date and professional profile. Plus, if you’re thinking of starting your own venture, consider using LinkedIn as a way to market yourself and your business.
Grow your network
Business relies on successful partnerships and fostering relationships with clients, colleagues and community members. Attend networking events in your city to make new professional connections and build upon your communication skills.
