This about me section begins with a Visitor/Resident Map which examines the social media platforms that I currently utilize and where they fit into the four different categories (personal, visitors, residents, professional). These categories represent the purpose for my use of the social network and are placed accordingly. Then follows a social media audit which breaks down what is was like for my peers to explore my personal social media pages. This page then ends with a button to view my LinkedIn profile.
1. Visitor/Resident Map
2. Social Media Audit
I exchanged Instagram handle names with my partners Casey and Ashleigh. Upon them locating me online they both tended to have the same perception of my online presence. They pointed out my use of professional quality photos, stated that I did not look like a college student but rather an established artist who already made it to the top. Both ladies even located some of my creative works which they also complimented. Doing this activity immediately made me think about not only how my peers view me but what future employers have access to seeing via my social media and how what I post can determine my next steps in life. As far as the map, I wish I took part in more social media platforms to really be able to fill the map up, I only utilize a few but it definitely shed light on my usage abilities for the most part. Going back to future employers, this social media audit definitely makes me more cautious about what I'm posting because anybody can see what you have online and form an opinion on you that might hinder you in the future. My current online brand is to promote my music and videography skills and they are very consistent to my "in person" personality upon getting to know me but I think intially my online brand is not transparent.
