Professional Identity

    Ms. Dakota Webber from ASU’s Career and Professional Development Services presented to us on making a good LinkedIn profile and networking. My understanding of a professional identity is how you appear in a professional setting online and in person. 
    The professional identity needed to successfully pursue a career in STEM is networking and an updated profile. I saw the importance of networking but never really actually tried to network. I was always shy and just didn't know what I was doing. Now that I learned LinkedIn makes networking easier, I'll definitely use it more often. Some ways that networking is made easier is that you could request to follow people in your fields of interest and even people in organizations that interest you as well. It never hurts to shoot them a message if you want information or opportunities.
