Personal Digital Identity vs Professional Digital Identity

This blog topic has given me a lot of thought. Among the digital platforms I currently use to expand my professional network, LinkedIn stands out as the most useful. Other social media platforms are more for personal use; I don’t use them with a professional mindset, and my posts and daily sharing don’t seem to aim to project a professional image. I believe LinkedIn is a ready-made platform. Its unique existence allows users to showcase their professionalism, such as their resumes and past work experience, when registering an account.

When expanding my professional network, I think resumes, education, and work experience are all factors to consider. We can amplify past challenges and experiences to enhance our expertise in a particular area. I believe educational background, such as specific experiences in our major, is most useful for professional networking. Other potentially influential factors include hobbies and skills.

Regarding employers evaluating my digital identity, I think their reaction will likely be that I enjoy sharing life’s challenges and actively seeking solutions, and I’m willing to use the internet to learn new skills. I believe that in today’s world of advanced technology, not using the internet to learn new content and skills would be a waste of resources. And I’m also someone who loves life and is positive and proactive.
