On Thursday, I attended a Rose Scholar event where I learned about professionalism and had my headshot taken. While waiting to have my photo taken, I participated in a discussion with Sabrina and other Rose Scholars about what it meant to be professional online. Sabrina showed us her LinkedIn account, and how to appeal to employers specific to your field of interest. She showed us how the bio is your chance to hook a prospective employer and express your interests and skill set. Based on the field that you’re interested in, the biography can differ in level of formality and personality. It is useful to look at other profiles in your field to get a feel for what your profile should include. I had started to create a LinkedIn account before this, but I didn’t have a headshot or any bio information. This session definitely helped give me the momentum to finish the profile and improve my presence in online networking. Thank you to Sabrina and Shiv!
