What digital platforms are students currently using to develop their professional network?

There are many digital platforms that students can use to develop their personal professional network. For example, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. Especially LinkedIn is a very good platform where students can list their personal experiences and professional fields, which is very helpful to their careers. In addition, Quora is a platform I often browse. On this platform, you can ask any professional questions. People in related professional fields will be enthusiastic to answer your questions. At the same time, you can browse some familiar questions and answer to help others. This process helps students improve themselves. Professional skills and academic exchanges.

What can you (as a student) consider to expand your professional learning network?

As a computer science student, Github is a platform we often come into contact with. On this platform, in addition to saving your own personal programming, you can also share your own code, or access the code-shared by others, and even communicate technology with others. In addition, I want to start managing my LinkedIn account because I am graduating in this year. I need to improve my account information and share more of my professional related experience, which will benefit my employment in the near future.

In your network, how can you create a digital identity/reputation?

In Github, I’ve uploaded all the programming assignments during my university life. I upload these assignments to show others my professional knowledge as works, and at the same time, I can browse my works anytime and anywhere to review knowledge. Others can browse my work at any time, use my work, or find loopholes in my work, make suggestions, and improve the quality of the works.

Consider what a local employer would do if you applied for a job with them – can they search the content, is it of benefit to the career path, does it hinder the opportunity of employment?

As a computer student, running your own GitHub is necessary. On GitHub, you can not only show your own works but also exchange knowledge and improve technology with others. When IT companies recruit programmers, in addition to screening candidates through exam interviews, one of the most commonly used methods is work display. Employers will ask candidates to show the projects they have planned and the works they have done in order to evaluate the candidates’ professional ability and cooperation ability, etc.
