My presence online before I started the course

I did not appreciate the importance of having an active presence online because I was very concerned about privacy

I had a Linked-In account, but did not maintain my profile and dedicate time to analyse what was going on in this network

My presence online once I started the course

Started appreciating the power of social media and the fact

that I had to use this tool to promote myself online

Initial steps undertaken:

-Updated my academic background, skills, working experience and interests in my Linked-in profile

-Accessed this account daily

-Increase by connections from 30 to 120

My presence online once I started the course

I also comprehended the importance of communicating and being present online regularly and created a blog to share interests and experiences

I am very looking forward to a mutual learning experience

My presence online once I started the course

The course pushed me in analysing how employers perceive me through Linked-in

Connecting with people working in different industries will surely help me moving towards new boundaries and opportunities

Summary

In my currently position as a customer relations manager in a back office services organisation, my main objective is to create new strategies to expand my experience whilst enhancing my band and the band of the organisation

I am very happy with the way this course guided me to initiate a professional brand
