2. LinkedIn
I previously did not have a LinkedIn profile so I had no status on the
site.
After creating my account I hope to make many connections in various
fields that can hopefully benefit me when I am ready to pursue my
career.
From making the account I learned how important it is to understand as
an individual the strengths and weaknesses you hold and what you have
that will benefit a company.
I followed very closely to the 5 steps in order to build a successful
profile.
3. LinkedIn
While following through the steps I found it kind of challenging to
think of a headline and a background picture to describe myself,
hopefully with more time and more experience I can think of some
things that will represent me better.
I came to some stops while writing my summary and I am still working
on it and hoping to add more and more as I continue to brand myself.
While connecting all my social media sites together I found many
connections and connected with people who I thought would benefit
me.
I also had some trouble figuring out what exactly to post, I searched
through the site and found some companies I liked and articles that
interested me and I shared them to my page hoping to give me some
inspiration on my first post.

1. Optimize your LinkedIn Profile
*I am currently working on
developing a background that I think
describes me well as well as trying to
create a creative headline that will make
my profile stand out.
2. Make meaningful connections.
*I connected with people who I
thought would benefit me, and I am still
hoping to connect with many more.
3. Publish on LinkedIn
*I am working on a couple of
different things that I could publish.
4. Customize your feed by following
those that matter most.
*I customized my feed to fit my best
needs as of right now.
5. Create a LinkedIn slide share
account.
*I created a slide share account and
posted a PowerPoint on my social
identity. https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaylawalker9396
5. Facebook
I have had a Facebook account for quite some time but over
the years I tend to only use it to keep in touch with family
members.
With the added tips from Social Media Examiner I hope to be
able to use my Facebook as a platform for jobs as wells as to
keep connections with my family.
After reading a couple of articles from Social Media Examiner
on Facebook I decided to give my profile some changes.
6. Facebook
I changed my profile picture to
something more recent and
more professional.
I added some of my education
such as the college I attend and
the high school I graduated
from.
I also added more information
about my current job and my
duties as well.
I went through some of my
interests and updated them so
they were more fitting to me
currently because some things
have changed over the years.
With some work and overtime I
think I can get my page to be
where it should be in order to
help me find a job one day

7. Twitter
I use to be very active on Twitter, but now I find that I use
the site to keep up to date with what's currently happening
rather than posting my own tweets.
I read a couple of articles on the social media examiner
which gave me tips to make my profile more professional.
I hope with the help of the tips I could use Twitter for more
than just a site to read tweets, but something to help me in
my professional career.
8. Twitter
One of the first things I
did was change my
profile picture to the
same picture I have on
all my other accounts.
I went through some of
the things I retweeted,
tweeted, and liked
throughout the years and
deleted some things that
I did not think were
necessary to have
anymore.
Hopefully with more
time I can find people to
follow that I have
common interests with
pertaining to my future
career.
