LinkedIn Profile/Professional Social Media Network
I found this to be a helpful experience because I am nearing the end of my degree and interested in networking with other professionals. I found that the skills I learned here complimented the skills that I learned through science co-op very well. Using LinkedIn is becoming increasingly relevant and I have occasionally gotten recruitment messages from tech companies. I am hoping that the improvements made to my profile can help me get more recruitment messages from high caliber companies.
I also found that the peer reviewing someone else LinkedIn account gave me insights into how I might appear on social media. I think that being critical of someone else’s work can help you to improve your own. I hope that he takes my review into account because I think that it would make a real improvement to his profile.
Report Proposal & Outline
Report writing is an important skill in almost all professions. So I found that this proposal was a great experience. I have genuine interest in making computer science part of the elementary and high school curriculum because I wish that I had been exposed to it when I was younger. I think that giving kids more exposure to computer science will help increase the talent in the field and also help to increase diversity within the tech sector.
I also found that outlining my report was particularly useful. I am someone who struggles with organization so making this outline is a great resource for me to refer to during the report making process.
Peer reviewing Eric’s report proposal was an great experience. I feel like he chose something relatively achievable to enact change to. I do not know very much about badminton so I thought that it was an unique and interesting topic to make a report on.
