Thing 3: Your Professional Brand
LinkedIn is a site that has huge potential for professionals of pretty much any career. I am still in the process of familiarising myself with the layout and am learning as I go. My profile could possibly still do with improving and hopefully I'll optimise it as I become more comfortable with the layout. I also work occasionally as a Sound Engineer. In terms of a "brand" having both Sound Engineer and Library Assistant may not be the clearest. A brand needs to be simple, recognisable, instantly represent something and, well, sell-able. I'm not sure if I've done the right thing. However with libraries publishing so much content online the addition of sound engineering skills fused with graphic design could prove to be a valuable asset. When it comes to online (or otherwise) instructional videos getting the sound right is a very important and sometimes overlooked aspect. Even a very simple video would benefit with precise, clear audio recorded to a professional standard. That's my justification for leaving Sound Engineering in ;-) This is a blog post so childish emoticons are appropriate :-) https://ie.linkedin.com/in/colmpriestley Colm Priestley

Thankfully it's on cassette and I have no way to play it! It's cringe worthy to say the least! Fun times, though. Leave a Reply. |
