Through the eyes of a geologist

I've recently been introduced to Weebly - where you are able to create your own online CV. I'd been inspired from a few (links below) and thought I'd give a go at my own attempt. My inspiration: http://kristin.fm/sm/index.html http://ulrikeschulz.weebly.com/index.html Let me know what you think of mine: Jo Miles Online Résumé

"Having searched Google, I didn't find myself. I thought I would have a digital footprint, as being a regular Facebook and Twitter user. After searching on www.123people.com, there are obviously other Jo Miles's in the world that have a greater presence online than me as I couldn't find myself on this website either. Although what did surprise me was that two of my best friends were in the 'Related People' section. Whether Jo Miles is a common name or not, I'd like to think I have an active presence online, but from this exercise I can see that I need to take advantage of social media to heighten my digital footprint further and actually be found when searched for by employers.” I wrote this at the beginning of the course and initially I was hoping to have a digital footprint by the end of the course.

I am a first year Geology undergraduate at the University of Leicester, with a particular interest in applied Geology such as mining and oil/gas exploration. My goal of this networking Leicester Award is to understand the importance of making a personal brand online, effectively showing my talent and potential as a future employee as I progress on to my second year at the university.

My audience: you; will be potential employers as well as peers who enjoy a similar amount of enthusiasm for Geology. I believe it is important to not only be enthusiastic, but passionate about your subject area. The aim of the next three reflective blogs will hopefully give you an insight into being a Geology undergraduate in a very challenging and competitive market, which may create awareness of the issues undergraduates face. I hope to port...

Welcome to my first ever blog as an undergraduate student. I dream big, aim high and even though I may be disappointment along the journey, I never give up. I love to learn and never want to stop. I’ve had some set-backs this year, having applied for Aggregate Industries bursary, G-Base work experience, putting myself forward to be elected member of the PCSB Geology Society and numerously applying for part time employment and being unsuccessful in them all, my eyes have been opened as to just how competitive university life really is. So as I begin this blogging adventure, I plan to share with you my current experiences as an undergraduate Geologist within a very competitive world. I plan to take advantage of blogging using the internet and hopefully will be able to define to you my very own personal brand. Having read through Clare Whitmell’s blog post, titled ‘Why a traditional CV isn’t always enough’ on the Guardian’s website, it emphasizes how an online presence is ...
