In this week's episode, we shine a light on How to Get Noticed with Elizabeth Morgan. Liz was awarded the title "Top Graduating HR Student" at her college for her leadership and passion for the field. After she spent hundreds of hours networking on her LinkedIn, she was sourced by a fast growing start up, then asked to join Google's recruiting team and after 3 awesome years as a Googler, was sourced to join iCIMS and help them build out their online brand!! She has never applied for a company she's worked at, as all her opportunities have come to her through a LinkedIn outreach.

She's using her free time to share her branding strategies with you, talk about her experience in corporate America, and start conversations about owning and maintaining a "side gig". When she's not on Linkedin sharing professional insight, she's in her home office making lightweight clay earrings, expanding her knowledge of Content Marketing, or watering her plants. :)
