List of activities: M ODULE 1: E LEVATOR P ITCH D ISCUSSION P OST V IDEO Ensure you have uploaded your elevator pitch in the discussion post section of module 1 and provided feedback to at least two of your peers. The elevator pitch should be between 45-60 seconds in length. M ODULES 1-2: R EFLECTION QUESTIONS In the first and second module, we reviewed Lois Sarah Marshall’s (2022) definition of career: “A career is a fluid process, not stagnant or simply a job. It is a process that must be nurtured - constantly grown and managed” (p. 7) . Now that you’ve had a chance to consider this definition of career, it’s time for you to put some thought into your definition of Career Management. Think about what key factors will be important as you manage your career over your lifetime? Write down two of the factors you considered and explain briefly why each will be important when managing your career long-term. Key Factors Why is this important when managing my career long-term? 1 Continuous Learning I am able to keep up with developments and trends in the field thanks to my constant studying. It aids in my ability to stay current and competitive in my field. Gaining new abilities increases one's prospects for development and success. It helps me successfully adjust to shifting job demands and market expectations. 2. Adaptability I can handle unplanned changes in my job path since I'm adaptable. It assists me in making pivots when needed, such as changing professional paths or taking on new tasks. I can overcome obstacles and succeed in a variety of job contexts because I am adaptive. It enhances my ability to accept change as a chance for personal progress.

M ODULE 3: M Y V ALUE P ROPOSITION , A SSETS & A CCOMPLISHMENT S TATEMENTS In module 3, we explored the importance of delivering a concise, consistent, and compelling message to the potential employer. This message is your value proposition . Your value proposition should answer the employer’s question of “why should we hire you instead of the other candidates ?”. If you do not know the answer to this question, it cannot be communicated throughout the job search process. Using the example in module 3 to guide you, identify the key elements for your value proposition by completing the table. My Value Proposition Context I am pursuing my post-graduation degree in Cloud Data Management from Conestoga College, which will be completed in April 2024. Buying Motivators Nowadays, everything is migrating towards cloud-based technologies, so it is very crucial for me to understand how these technologies work so I can handle all the data. Furthermore, I am good at solving problems, especially in hard times when they are complicated. In order to be prepared for whatever comes my way, I also make it a point to keep up with the most recent developments and trends in my industry. Supporting Qualifications My four years of practical Python expertise boosted my ability to provide useful solutions in cloud data management and align with my academic concentration. Added Value Having a strong background in Python programming, I bring value to cloud data management projects by bringing my programming knowledge to bear smoothly and optimizing workflows. With my mastery of well-known Python libraries and frameworks like NumPy, Pandas, and TensorFlow, I can contribute my expertise in data processing, analysis, and machine learning model creation. I ensure efficient code development and teamwork in cloud data management projects by using version control systems like Git and integrated development environments (IDEs) like PyCharm and Jupyter Notebook. Why should an employer hire you? Hiring me would benefit employers as I bring four years of real-world Python programming experience in addition to my exceptional academic background in cloud data management. My proactive approach to staying updated on industry trends and my problem-solving skills make me an asset in addressing complex challenges and driving innovation in cloud data management projects.
My Assets (education, training) When applying for positions, it is essential to match your assets to the requirements of the job.

In module 4, brand statements and social media were discussed. We know that developing your personal brand is a comprehensive process that takes time. For this activity, you will review LinkedIn to better identify the features and benefits of this platform. You will also indicate what key components of your brand you would want to highlight on this platform. Social Media Platform: LinkedIn Features and benefits of using this social media platform (research required here). With its numerous networking options, LinkedIn acts as a platform for job seekers and resume writers to interact, exchange ideas, and access career information. It provides a forum to demonstrate one's professional experience, talents, and education, encouraging contacts with future employers and industry experts. LinkedIn also provides professional growth and content exchange tools, enabling users to become thought leaders and advance their abilities using resources and courses. What specific components of my own brand will I highlight on my LinkedIn profile? I would emphasize my training, work history, and skills on my LinkedIn page to show my industry knowledge. I would also highlight any relevant degrees or certificates and provide a brief synopsis of my personal brand that highlights my professional goals and distinctive value proposition. I would also publish interesting material to build trust and demonstrate my industry knowledge among my professional networks. Potential risks I may encounter and need to manage when using this social media platform to manage my brand. Even though LinkedIn has a lot to offer, there could be some drawbacks. Protecting one's personal and professional privacy requires careful monitoring of privacy settings and shared information. Being professional is always crucial to making sure that my personal brand is positively reflected in all of my interactions and content. Keeping a professional network and exercising discernment is also necessary for managing connections. Time management is essential to successfully juggling LinkedIn activities with other obligations, and negative feedback needs to be addressed properly.
