Discover what an employer would find based on your V+R Map if you applied for a job with them?
As an individual online, I love the experiment when sharing my ideas or lifestyle with others. The employer will see I am socially active on social media; Furthermore, I post pictures of my cooking and outfit. If I want to apply for a job in a high-end restaurant, they will see me as an experienced gourmet who has experience in multiple fine dining as a visitor mode. On the other hand, I do share my cooking experience on Instagram and WeChat. With a slightly decent plating, they will be able to see my potential skills in the culinary world.
What digital platforms are students currently using to develop their professional network?
I am using Instagram and WeChat as my main digital platforms. I can find people that have the same interest in cooking, and I get to connect with them by visiting their pages.
What could the student consider in expanding their professional learning network?
Contents are crucial. People on the Internet seeking practical information. With that being said, students first need to think about “What contents should I be posting?”, “Is it useful to others?”. Eventually, people contribute their effective information will lead to an efficient searching experience.
Thread Discussion: How does data privacy and security limit and/or promote a PLN?
Being a part of the internet for so many years is making me numb about data privacy. I used to write down all my passwords from all the social media I used. But then I found it difficult to keep them, and I decided to save my passwords in the browsers. I find it comfortable now, but I think there are certainly some people who might think of this as a security limit. They will have concerns about whether their information will be stolen. This will definitely limit their pace promoting a PLN.
