What should we put on LinkedIn for Education Team Leads #36

What should we use for Linked In as Education Team Leads? What area should we enter information into, what skills/information should we use to describe what we do?

I vote add it as a job, and then mention at the bottom it is a volunteer position somewhere in the description. I added it like this! https://www.linkedin.com/in/kgibilterra

@emmagras and I did play with it for a while. I also have it as a volunteer organization...but I think I'm going to take that off.

If you have it as a job, you can use it when you connect to new people. So that solves the "how do you know X person?" problem. It doesn't solve it for our members (I would only expect members to be a part of the WWC group, not listing it directly to their experience) - but it's a start!

Which while we're at it, join the group! https://www.linkedin.com/grp/home?gid=7401503&goback=%2Enppvan_kgibilterra They don't have a lot of content, but maybe someday they will.

Oh I like adding "Volunteer Position" at the end, I've always had it as a job, but mentioning volunteer makes sense. By the way @kgibilterra I stole your description. (oops)

:+1: I know I've seen the beer emoji on github, but I'm not sure what it is now
