This element demonstrates the elements of P.R.I.C.E, which are:

• Professionalism: My LinkedIn profile is professional in appearance and content. I have used a professional headshot and have avoided using any slang or inappropriate language.
• Relevancy: My profile is relevant to my field. I have included keywords that are relevant to my industry and have shared content that is of interest to professionals in my field.
• Impact: My profile has the potential to impact my job search. It has helped me to connect with people in my field and has given me a platform to share my work.
• Credibility: My profile is credible. I have included links to my work and have received endorsements from other professionals.
• Engagement: My profile is engaging. I have shared relevant content and have responded to comments and messages.

Another element of my social media presence that I can use to support my brand is my Twitter account. I use Twitter to share articles, blog posts, and other content that is relevant to my field. I also use Twitter to connect with other professionals in my field and to participate in industry discussions.

This element demonstrates the soft skill of communication. I am able to communicate effectively on Twitter, both in terms of my writing and my interactions with others. I am able to share my thoughts and ideas clearly and concisely, and I am able to build relationships with other professionals.

One element of my social media presence that could negatively affect the impression potential employers have of me is my personal Facebook profile. I have shared some posts on my personal Facebook profile that are not professional in nature. For example, I have shared posts about my personal life, my political views, and my religious beliefs.

This element could impair my goal to present myself as a professional. Potential employers may see these posts and question my judgment or my ability to be professional in the workplace.

Two tasks I can perform to strengthen and/or improve my brand using social media are:

1. Create a separate professional social media account. This account would be used exclusively for professional purposes. I would share content that is relevant to my field and that would showcase my skills and experience. I would also use this account to connect with other professionals in my field and to participate in industry discussions.
2. Be more mindful of the content I share on my personal social media accounts. I would avoid sharing posts that are not professional in nature. I would also be more mindful of the way I interact with others online. I would avoid using slang or inappropriate language, and I would be respectful of others’ opinions.

Completing these tasks would help me in my job search activities in the following ways:

• Creating a separate professional social media account would allow me to showcase my skills and experience to potential employers. It would also allow me to connect with other professionals in my field and to participate in industry discussions.
• Being more mindful of the content I share on my personal social media accounts would help me to present myself as a professional. It would also help me to avoid any potential problems with potential employers.

I anticipate the following barriers while completing these tasks:

• Creating a separate professional social media account would take time and effort. I would need to create a new account and then populate it with content that is relevant to my field.
• Being more mindful of the content I share on my personal social media accounts would require me to be more self-aware. I would need to be aware of the potential impact of my posts on potential employers.

Despite these barriers, I believe that these tasks would be worth the effort. They would help me to strengthen my brand and to improve my chances of finding a job.
