Journal Prompts
Having a strong personal brand on LinkedIn is crucial in today\\\’s professional landscape. A well-crafted LinkedIn profile serves as a digital business card where you can showcase your skills, experiences, and achievements to potential employers, and professional networks. A robust LinkedIn presence is not just about being found; it\\\’s about making a memorable impression and building a lasting professional reputation.
Make at least one change in your LinkedIn profile to improve it. Then write a journal and respond to the following:
- Describe one downfall of having a weak profile
- Describe one way you can improve your brand in your LinkedIn profile
- Reflect on how you improved your profile, referring to at least one suggestion discussed in the Building a Personal Brand on LinkedIn interactive.
- Include a screenshot of “before” and “after” of your profile (of only the part that you improved; you don’t need to show the entire profile)
Keywords
Use these suggested keywords, or similar ones of your own, to create headings for your post and identify important sections in your submission. Please note that including headers is mandatory.
- Downfall of having a weak profile
- Improving my LinkedIn profile
Guidelines
Journal entries are reflective documents that provide personal, thoughtful analyses. Personal reflection and self-appraisal are part of the concept of journaling and will help you articulate what you learn in class and how and why you take in messages the way you do. This is deep learning because it comes from self-analysis. This thoughtful introspection helps you understand the material and your key learnings from it.
Your journal should be 1–2 pages. Integrate course concepts and provide examples from your experiences that reflect the focus of this week’s journal assignment. Remember to include a screenshot of your LinkedIn profile. Make sure you are using the course resources and citing appropriately in APA. While you are not required to cite your work in reflective journals, please be mindful of giving credit to your sources and provide appropriate APA Style
