BrandYourself: After having BrandYourself review my social media sites, I learned that I have a high online privacy risk. I need to learn to not put out my information online as much as it may become a problem for me in the future. The scan found no posts on my social media accounts that are potentially threatening to my future opportunities which is a relief.
My tech/business skills that I have learned since joining IADT: Since joining IADT in 2018, I have become very interested in improving my my skills in the world of technology as I felt that it would definitely help me in the future as it is an integral part of the modern workplace. Being capable of using modern technology is so important nowadays, so I was extremely excited to start modules such as Internet Applications because I knew that it would teach me many valuable skills that I would use for the rest of my life.
My favourite part of Internet Applications was definitely learning to code and to design websites. I found it difficult at first, but eventually I got the hang of it and started to really enjoy being able to create any kind of website that I wanted. Before joining IADT, I had no idea how to create my own website, so I think that goes to show my hunger to learn as I learned how to create my own websites.
I think that I have learnt a lot regarding my business skills since joining IADT. I love how practical my course is, instead of doing a lot of theory work, we are pushed to actually do what we have learnt. For example, the Christmas Stalls in 1st year. Everyone was required to choose a small business idea to play out during the day and it was a great success. I think that actually doing what we are learning is a great way to learn quicker and more efficiently as it gives us more real experience in that position.
