Directions:

1. Evaluate your partner’s (a person from your partners’ group) social media professional presence by evaluating their LinkedIn site. If your partner doesn’t have a LinkedIn profile, he/she should create one so you can provide feedback. Look for examples of good profiles to get you started.

Evaluate the social media profile according to this checklist

(refer to the principles found in the following Shwom Summary ).

2. Add up the score on the checklist, provide feedback and make constructive recommendations for improvement for your partner.

3. In a 750 word essay, reflect on your evaluation of your partner’s profile, what you learned from your partner about your own LinkedIn profile, and your plans for improving your social media professional presence.

4. Please use proper citations and references if you used any sources.
