Brock sets up free headshot booth for students and staff
Brock University is helping Niagara students prepare for the workforce by offering free headshots.
A permanent booth has been set up in the Career Zone space for students who need a professional photo to use online during their job search.
Cara Krezik with Brock tells CKTB a good-looking headshot is very important.
She says LinkedIn, an online job connecting source, is still the number one way to find employees and jobs.
The site allows users to add a profile picture.
All students, staff and alumni are able to use the booth for free.
