Project 3: Design your professional presence
In this project, you will create a professional presence on LinkedIn, a professional social media network that is widely used by professionals and employers in most industries. You will submit a Word document with the same sections as a live LinkedIn profile to see how your professional attributes, goals, and objectives align with the industry, helping you to assess your position and make any adjustment to your professional “game plan”. You will also create a “branding statement” using what you have learned about your industry (System Administrator) and yourself to create a professional profile. Your branding statement could become the summary statement in your LinkedIn profile.
