Johari Window
This tool was helpful at getting me to start really thinking about how people perceive me and how I can make other people see what is in the hidden area. Knowing how I come across is crucial when it comes to my career opportunities, especially when I'm in rooms networking with other professionals.
Alumni Night
Alumni Night was very useful in exploring what life after graduation can look like for different people. I liked being able to talk with the alumni about how they still feel uncertain about what their careers might look like, both short-term and long-term. Even though I have an idea of what my career might look like, it's reassuring to be reminded that I still have a lot more to learn about myself. Meeting alumni who were recent grads was especially helpful because they remember what it was like to be in my position while also having the real-world experience to talk about what excited them and what disappointed them about their career field.
VIPS
By exploring my Values, Interests, Personality, and Skills, I was able to learn more about myself and what I want out of my future career in order to feel fulfilled.
Expanding my Network
Professional Practice Assignment
Using LinkedIn will help me with networking throughout the different areas of my life as a student and then as a working professional. I think adding my job at the library looks good, and I look forward to adding more to my resume with my job at Easterseals this summer. Some people I've connected with is my interpreting teacher and other students in current and previous classes. This profile will be a good record of my past and serve as a roadmap to how I arrived to where I am currently.
