This unit was a bit more intense than the last. Unfortunately due to my grandfather passing away and exams coming up right after some of the deadlines for the assignments were not met. Overall I did complete each assignment and now I am back on track.

Creating the LinkedIn profile was an intricate process where I had to pull in information from a variety of sources but now I have created a spot for potential employers to look at and evaluate my skills. Overall, creating a social media presence for your professional profile is essential in this day and age. Networking has always been a key factor in an individual’s career success and available job opportunities. This networking has now extended to social media as the internet is becoming more predominant in individuals lives.

My progress on the formal report has been minimal due to the reasons stated above but I do not feel as if I am behind any more. I have a clear idea of what I want to research. Feedback from the professor has allowed me to modify my methods to be more appropriate for the class setting and the time allotted. By peer reviewing someone else’s report proposal i was able to view the piece of writing from an outside perspective. Reading it and giving suggestions for improvement also provided me with ideas and things i had missed in my own proposal. Being able to go back and change those things myself allowed me to have a better understanding of the viewpoint of my target audience.

My peer review was supposed to be done by Amy Young but she has not been active on the team forum. I have no peer review to base any changes on so I do not have a revised Report proposal. Please advise on any steps I should take to account for the missing of my peer review.
