LinkedIn has become one of the major social media in seeking a job and other professional fields. When I researched best LinkedIn practices, I started to think about my own experience in social media. Like other social media, we can put anything about ourselves on LinkedIn, such as our hobbies, education, and previous jobs. Putting various information about us on LinkedIn helps others know us without seeing us in the real world. We connected based on the information we provided. However, some strategies may be helpful to delivering information that we emphasized to our readers. These strategies help us look professional in our areas.
Preparing the proposal and outline helps me understand the procedure to advise formally. The process of counselling and making changes is an art. We have to use limited words to let our readers know how urgent action needs to take. We should state the background and point out the issues and also deeply analyze the problems. We should give a feasible solution and investigation strategies to qualify the possible solution. Without organizing well, we may write a long and confusing report for our readers. In addition, we should always consider who our readers are and think from readers’ perspectives. When I posted my proposal, I made a mistake in clarifying who my reader is. I took Dr. Erika’s advice and researched the internet to figure out who I should write for. In this process, I learnt that targeting my readers is also a critical aspect of stating issues.
In the peer review, I paired with my team member, Cathy Liu. She pointed out that I could rewrite some sentences to improve conciseness, and her advice is helpful since redundant words discourage readers. I also advised her to change her inquiring questions. Instead of stating the general questions about how to solve the problem, questioning the feasibility of her solution will help her get more insight when analyzing her data.
