Professional Facebook Page

Today in my ALES 204 lab I learned how to create a professional Facebook page. I made this page because I believe it will be useful as an online resume. Having a professional Facebook page is different then just having a Facebook profile because in my page I am classified as a public figure. The information is more formal and less casual. It is a professional profile containing employment related information such as goals, skills, education, interests, and job experience. It also includes references. This can be a useful tool for potential employers to access my information.  Although for now my page is anonymous and some of the content is fabricated for the purpose of this assignment, I would like to develop a professional page that can be used for future employment.

The purpose of having a professional Facebook page is to showcase who I am as a professional. This goes beyond the basics of qualifications and standard resume formats. It is more personal than a resume because it goes beyond the standard information that a resume provides. It is more of a personal portfolio that can be updated and revised instantly. Because Facebook is a social networking site, having a professional page can increase potential job opportunities through social networking and "common interests" or friends who like your page.

These are some Professional Facebook pages of people who I find interesting:
