Thing 3

Week 2 of the 23 things and we are on Thing number three. My online profile. I wasn't actually expecting to find anything at all, as so far i haven't been making a conscious effort to have an online presence. So i was surprised to find four career related results to my search and no personal results. One is a piece i did for the cilips careers gateway, one is my contact details on the Fife Council website, another is a newspaper article relating to a previous job and the fourth is in relation to an online forum that i took part in. I can see that this is a worthwhile excersize to do once in a while to see what is out there about yourself, after all no one wants to find anything derogatory about themselves, particularly as the whole world can see it!

Although there isn't much about me out there, i find i am pleased with what is there, the information is acurate and there is nothing to be ashamed of!

I think if anything the lack of information put out there by myself means that although what is there is acurate there is no personality about it, nothing that says anything about who i am as a person, my aims or goals. Perhaps a lack of information is worse than no information or too much.

If anyone would like to have a look and tell me what they think i'd appreciate the feedback!

23 Things

I am taking part in 23 Things for professional development. Initially i decided it would be a great idea to take part for two reasons, one it is free to participate and free is not to be sniffed at! Two, i am currently working towards my library charter and i can see how something like this could be really helpful. Having looked a little deeper into what was on offer i found that i was interested to learn more about blogging, something that i have never really done before and also see this as a great way to connect with other professionals. I enjoy trying new things and am very interested in finding out about different ways to use online resources.
