LinkedIn Profile

The process of creating a LinkedIn Profile proved very useful. In fact, I added my LinkedIn profile URL onto my resume. Creating an online profile has allowed me to easily search current job opportunities in my industry. In addition, I have been trying to make connections with previous professors to inquire about research opportunities. Initially, I used my CV to fill out the various section of the profile, but I soon realized the potential to add more details and experiences on my CV and my profile. Therefore, this assignment prompted me to update my CV as well.

Report Proposal and Outline

Thinking of a problem/solution situation for the formal report was very challenging. At first, I thought that the formal report would be very similar to a research proposal. However, that was not the case. The goal of the analysis report is to identify a problem in our community and propose practical solutions. Another challenging aspect of the assignment was creating items for my primary research documents. Identifying the participants for the primary sources of data proved to be difficult as well. In fact, I had to change my proposal topic due to ethical concerns. After receiving the evaluation sheet for the proposal I re-read the chapters in the textbook to get a better understanding of what analysis report entailed and decided to do a feasibility analysis of a professional psychology career. I chose a topic where I possess the necessary qualifications to carry out the feasibility analysis. My goal was to be able to learn something from this report and apply the recommendations in my own career.

Peer Review and Self-Editing

While reading Beenish’s review of my proposal, I was able to reflect on the ethical issues regarding my complex topic. I was trying to choose a topic from my line of work as a behavioral interventionist, but I found the topic too challenging to carry out due time constraints and accessibility of participants. I learned that I had to choose a topic that was more applicable to the field I am interested in.

Through the peer reviewing process, I was able to identify the strengths and weaknesses of my own work. I was able to compare Beenish ’s page design and style details(use of bullet points) to my document’s organization and determine inconsistencies in my peer’s work. Now I am more critical and pay attention to details in my own work.
