Hey the second discussion is in regards to marketing myself and skillsets for health education profession. Once again thank you for helping me. It is not due until 4/13/2024; so no rush.
I am only aware of what I believe are assets to a company regarding my profession. I am really not sure what others see professionally from me. I believe I have great analytical skills with figuring out what clients may need. I know I can definitely branch out more but, I do believe when it comes to the professional side I communicate effectively. I believe I have good interpersonal skills and can speak with anyone regarding anything because I am a good listener and pay attention to the details in conversations. I try to get out of my shell at meeting and events and start to branch out and see what others do.
Marketing myself I am unsure about. I know I can revamp my resume because a lot hast changed as far as what some companies are looking for on a resume. My resume is generic from Indeed and I know it could be more professional. I have a LinkedIn account as well and I feel like if I pay attention to it more I can get some marketing and networking through there as well. In office I am not sure how to network besides talking with someone who may know a little bit more about community health related work in the field. Besides all sites and region meetings it is an opportunity to network but, it is also mainly a teambuilding time and I am unaware of others jobs. I can also try and find a Facebook group or other options that may be offered online. Honestly speaking that is all I have lol.
