Before this week’s assignment, I wasn’t fully aware of the potential networking abilities that the internet can have on a single individual. Personally, I find the vastness of the world wide web a bit intimidating. However, viewing it as a tool to progress my own personal “brand” shed light on its usefulness (other than plain old fooling around online, which should be kept separate and private from professional ventures.) Potential employees and even colleagues can learn a lot about you just from your online persona, so I tried to make my new one personable and trustworthy. I made sure to include not only work and school experience in my biographies but also intriguing yet respected hobbies (i.e. fitness, writing). Hopefully this new route of internet exploring will continue to blossom.
