Program Description
When someone Googles you, what shows up on that first page of search results? Are they seeing the story (ePortfolio, profiles, images, experiences) that you want them to see? If not, what can you do to curate a digital presence that represents your key experiences, strengths, and skills and connects you to valuable and/or career-advancing opportunities and networks?
In today’s professional world, it is essential and advantageous to have a carefully curated personal digital brand story (a roadmap to how people will experience you) in multiple places online (LinkedIn, website, social media, etc.). This interactive series will guide you through the steps of the Digital Presence Framework developed by the Integrative Learning Portfolio Lab with Stanford graduate and undergraduate students since 2013. Over the course of three sessions, we will focus on:
- Session I: Tues., Oct. 15 - Your Professional Digital Presence: What, Why, & How | 4:30-6PM
- Session II: Tues., Oct. 22 - Prototyping Your Story and Evidence | 4:30-6PM
- Session III: Mon., Nov. 4 - Feedback from Peers and Professionals and Your 90-Day Action Plan | 4:30-6PM
