Editor's Notes
So, what is this presentation about?Firstly, I will be talking about How I used social media before I started this programme and how I use it now as a result of the programme.
Mainly facebook and only for personal use.Since facebook is already used mainly for personal reasons then I do not wish to suddenly change it. Neither do I wish to create a new Facebook site with the sole purpose of it being professional – at least not for the moment. However, I do realise that in the future I might resort to creating a professional Facebook page.
Am I projecting the image that I want employers to see?To increase y Online presence in a positive mannerTo endure that my CV became appropriate and up to date
Defined unique personal brand : good start in defining your personal brand; outlined what your skills and what you would like to get out of the brand but think about what you want to project to others and what you want others to get out of your brand. Think about linking it to your career and future plans. Final development plan . . In terms of volunteering, you might want to research positions online or talk to the careers services Investigated personality, motivations and interestsYou might want to have a look further into what your personality type means and how it links into your work and career plans.
How have my personal development and career plans grown through the ONE programme?
What have I learnt?Discuss how your online presence will help you to meet your goals and objectives. What will you do next to next to develop your online presence?I have realised that if I do not take steps to control what shows up on a Google search of my name, then in the future others will control how I appear online.In the future I plan on broadening my presence even more. I cannot emphasize enough how much this is only the beginning. I have future plans to open up at least one other blog and possibly more. When I start practising medicine I plan on writing more about what I come across regularly and ways in which health service can improve. Of course, I plan on doing this without breaching confidentiality. I expect it to do the following:- Foster a robust professional presenceExpress my personal viewsFoster relatiohnships
