To complete this assessment, you are going to
1. Create a professional profile for use on digital platforms
2. Create a short video of your professional pitch
3. Reflect on how you can use your professional digital profile and pitch to promote your employability to future employers.
Things that must inform your reflection and discussion:
What is the professional image you want and/or need to convey to others?
Is there an expected standard or ‘type’ within your field and if so, how might this influence you?
- What are the values you want others to understand about you and the work you do or hope to do in the future?
- Are there things you would not do; clients or partnerships you would not take on; for reasons of values, ethics, or business practices? Could this be problematic? How might you address this?
- What elements of a professional network do you already have?
- What elements of a professional network will be beneficial for you to develop and how can you go about doing this?
- What can you offer to others in your professional network?
Important: You should write this as a coherent piece of text with properly constructed sentences and paragraphs, and it should have a logical flow through the different points of discussion.
