Social media has certainly changed the way people communicate both to family and friends and in professional settings. Social networking can be an integral part of your job search or career building - if you use it correctly.

This month's Young Professionals workshop, we invite Christian Rose-Day, GREAT Marketing Manager for APAC at Department for International Trade, and Alexandra Pao, Managing Director at Edelman Public Relations to talk about how to use the power of social media to develop your career.

In this session, you will learn how to build up your LinkedIn portfolio and use social media to network and to boost your career. You'll also find tips on what you shouldn't do when it comes to social media and your career - and that's just as important as what you should do.

GREAT Marketing Manager for APAC at Department for International Trade

Alexandra Pao

Managing Director of Edelman Public Relations Worldwide Ltd.

Christian Rose-Day and digital marketing have been good friends for more than 15 years, and he has been a content editor, a digital project manager, and a head of digital content along the way. At present, Christian works at the British High Commission in Singapore as the GREAT Marketing Manager for APAC at the UK Government's Department for International Trade (DIT). This regional role stretches as far south as New Zealand, as far north as Japan, and includes all the ASEAN countries, Taiwan, South Korea, and Australia. It also encompasses a wide array of sectors in which the UK is particularly strong, such as Tech, Healthcare and Renewable Energy.

One of the key projects Christian has been working on in recent months is to help DIT's Trade Commissioner, sector leads and country directors optimise their LinkedIn presence with the intention of creating a broader network that creates more promising leads. Before moving to southeast Asia two years ago, Christian was an integral part of the marketing department at London & Partners, London's official promotional agency, managing digital projects for websites such as visitlondon.com and business.london.
