In this last Module Discussion "Professional Development and Mentorship".  Read both parts of the question carefully before composing a response and then post it into the forum. 

Question:

Part 1

Your LinkedIn profile is likely to be one of the first things that any prospective employer will look at.  How do you think that you could improve your current LinkedIn profile to ensure that you will ‘stand out from the crowd’?  Be as specific as you can.  This is an exercise in improving your current profile and not a general discussion on or about ‘LinkedIn’.  No theory and no generic guides here please.  Give us your best ideas with specific references to how you will improve your current profile.

Part 2

Now that you have assessed professional skills using mySFIA, you should be able to assess the skills that you have used and demonstrated in your internship.  Select the top 3 skills that you have now applied in your work and describe these using SFIA terminology.  How could you incorporate these into your LinkedIn profile ‘Summary’ section and relate these to your internship and current experience using specific SFIA professional skills and the ‘STAR technique’ to describe examples?
