Unit 2 included working on memorandums to peers and instructor, I think that I have improved in this area. I have been able to summarize the information as it pertains to my work in a memo. Writing these professional memos has helped me develop the skills necessary when communicating with other professionals in throughout this course. I have also been able to review my peers memos and these have prompted me to review their work during the course.
In this unit I have followed the steps necessary in the creation of a LinkedIn profile. The research on methods and best practices for creating a LinkedIn profile was extremely helpful, since I didn’t have an account on LinkedIn. I found this process to be easy to follow, I have learned about the benefits of having a LinkedIn account. I now understand how beneficial this networking platform can be in employment search, and to connect with other professionals. The peer review process for this unit was helpful, I appreciated having my peer’s, Adrienne Yap, feedback on my LinkedIn profile. The peer review offered me the points that I needed to improve my profile page on LinkedIn.
In this unit I really enjoyed working on my formal report proposal, before commencing, I had no idea of what I could research for this assignment. Along the way, I found that the topic that I chose is important for the work that I do and it will greatly benefit my team in the long run. I have recently worked on the outline for my report, I am excited to move forward with the research. I have never worked on report proposals, so this is a great learning method on professional report proposal writing. It was great to receive feedback from my peer, Usman Zahoor, on my report proposal. Usman provided areas that I could improve on while putting together the proposal, and I was able to use his peer review of my work to improve my proposal. I have revised my report proposal, this is a great baseline to draw from in order to work on the report.
