LinkedIn is a platform created with the intention of bridging the gap between casual and professional. Everyone knows that LinkedIn is meant to be used to assist your career growth and help you develop your professional career, but what exactly does that mean? LinkedIn is a great professional tool for those looking to develop themselves as professionals in their field, but it’s essential to know how to use the platform as a tool.

Listings are often posted by individuals within the hiring department, meaning users can connect with them before even submitting an application or attending an interview. This can be key in securing a position in a competitive field or position, so use those networking skills and opportunities to advance yourself! Professional Insights Since users are connected to a wide network of people, including users who have mutual connections, LinkedIn is a great way to stay up to date on news and information relevant to your field or position.

Staying knowledgeable can give you the edge in a competitive role! LinkedIn has so many features and tools to help users advance their careers.

In case you didn’t know, this is the month to acknowledge and celebrate nonprofit organizations! To be exact, August 17th is National Nonprofit Day! That’s why we thought it would be fitting to share the backstory of our nonprofit.  Now, the creation of Secret Miracles Inc began back in 2007. The event which brought about the inspiration was the continual lack of resources and knowledge to assist low income students in New Orleans, Louisiana. Many students beginning at middle school throughout high school, don’t receive proper guidance to assist them with their career planning, college preparation, or entrepreneurship. Secret Miracles Inc stemmed from a community desire to provide mentoring to students from diverse backgrounds. It came specifically from a group of passionate ladies from New Orleans who mentored students just from the desire within their hearts. By providing the students with college and career guidance this initiative evolved into a 501(c)(3) organization in 2015.    So, the essence reflects a journey of transformation and resilience for underrepresented students preparing to exit the high school system. Our core mission is to equip these students with the necessary resources and guidance required to successfully transition into the next generation of leaders.   As for the future of the nonprofit, it’s seen as prosperous, engaging, and a beacon of light for those students who apply themselves! Now, as always, your support would be much appreciated by giving us a follow on our LinkedIn and Facebook pages.
