Before this class, I had created a LinkedIn account but never took it seriously. By this I mean, I knew it was a very professional work platform and originally thought it would be more difficult to find jobs. After customizing my profile, I really like how it displays your resume and I will definitely be using LinkedIn for further future job seeking. I enjoy how it can be a more interactive and personalized to who you are and what you are looking for. I was able to find many classmates, groups and organizations on here that were very helpful. As far as my thoughts on social media, I am way more aware of the things I am reading and paying attention to. I always take into consideration the possibility of a fake post. I also recently made my Instagram a business account and I love the insights and analytics it gives you. If Im going to be spending a good time of my day on social media, I would like to also understand the back part of it. Social media is very complex and I do believe there are more pros than cons. Although, anyone can take advantage and choose to cyberbully or post inappropriate things, I believe that is in our hands. Social media itself is not a problem. Keeping my future career goals in mind, I definitely see myself using social media for professional purposes to help build an audience and market my work.
