If You Do Not Choose Your Professional Identity….Life Will.Have you heard the story of life just happened?It goes something like this;You come across a person who is happy with their professional situation but can’t make a change Because they have responsibilities (bills to pay, kids to feed, a house they need to take of etc)You asked them how they got in the situation in the first place? And they respond“Life just happened”…Think through your professional identity and life will happen for you; not at you
What if you do not the knowledge and/or work experience yet?How do you connect the pieces to your career?
You can go anywhere you want to and be anything you want toYou have more tools available today than any other time; you are in the right place to make it happen, you have time
Your Professional Identity is a key component to your success.It is one thing you have complete control; You can change it any time
What do you have in common with Oprah?She is a content expert. She finds really interesting things, mostly by reading, and shares them with the rest of the world.How is that different from being a student? You have to read interesting things (that hopefully you like) and you too can be a content expert in a certain niche.Teach what you are studying in school, it is a great way to learn
Social Media is a great way to share your expertise
As future psychologists (and professionals), we have an ethical duty to the people we serveIf you use social media appropriately, it is an opportunity to like no other
If you are a business student, you are not required to follow these guidelines; but it does not mean you should act unethically.In my experience, actually following these guidelines will help you in your business life

It is your fiduciary responsibility to protect your client’s informationBe very careful with social media on what information you shareMake sure that you use your privacy settings on the social media platform that you are using

Maintain Confidentiality - addresses risk of using social media
So now that I have scared you on what not to do with social media, let me tell you why it is so great
Let’s think of social media as a wardrobeToo many choices and it’s a mess
This is how we would like our social media efforts to be
The exact person may not be on linkedin that you are looking for, but the organization is most likely on the platform; if you find someone in your target organization that you are one step closer to contacting the decision maker; this avenue was not available five years ago
It is not put your profile up and they will come; you have to contact people.You can’t just show up to a party and say I am here, now everyone one come talk to me and offer me opportunities
Too many people only start building their network when it is too late. Fired or Lose their Business. Desperation, people can sense it – desperation is not good for your brand.So start building your network before you actually need it. You can then interact normally with the networking attitude of sharing without expecting anything immediately in return.
Shifting from an industrial world to a knowledge based worldIn an agrarian society, many people could do the same job – not so much any moreOur skill sets are becoming more and more specializedJust look at how education has changes – 1997 when I started college majoring in Internet Technologies was brand new concept and a riskYou are unique with your own education, experiences, values and talents…People will connect with you, especially when it makes sense
A New MindsetDon’t think someone is going to give me a job or clients, think I have to create an opportunityLinkedIn will work and payoff – economic model is already showing that – it would not be growing as quickly nor would have so much investment money(it is beating the expectations of wall street – they are focused on money)You (as student) can totally leverage this now; one of the best uses of your time now when networking for your future careerYou are good enough to start connecting with others now, The question is, How?
Embrace it, Embrace it well
Work on your professional identityBuild credibilityGet to know people in the industry or fieldFind a job in that area
To Build Your Professional Network – Start with Your Professional Identity
Saying Birds of Feather Flock Together…so true
