What digital platforms are students currently using to develop their professional network?
The most common professional network used by is LinkedIN to build their professional network by connecting with others. It is the most common because of its large user base. However, depending on the line of profession different users use different platforms like Instagram for models, photographers, video editors, actors, and to promote their products. Although this is the case, Instagram is mostly used by people for personal and resident purposes.
In your network how can you create a digital identity/ reputation?
To properly create a digital identity/reputation on a network would require a lot of filtering on the type of posts made, or information shown to others. To have a reputation and identity online say Twitter about stock trading, a user would create Twitter account and follow only those who also are interested in stock trading. To continue from there, the posts made on the account would only be directly related to stock trading. The final touch required would be to only comment on others post about stock trading as well instead of other content say cars, food, travel.
Consider in your blog submission how an employer would respond if you applied for a job with them and assessed your social media presence via your digital identity.
I would think they would respond in saying that I love to travel a lot. However, I do not express my emotions and thoughts online too much so that would be the upside. I do find it extremely important to filter what you post online because everyone has if not unlimited some kind of access to it.
