My Leicester Awards for Employability Reflections! Part II

Reflections on the LA for Employability Course:

I have certainly expanded on my online skills and SM learning as reflected by my own blog here and various posts submitted lately, mostly over the last couple of months, since really starting the Leicester Awards course! 

It has been a great course to take following up on my master degree, it allowed me to reflect and analyse my own objectives and career goals for the future. Having the chance to record it all and putting it all in one place through my recent blog has been a major improvement in giving me further incentives to actually move on with my career and personal aspirations. 

It has certainly been an essential study journey for me to take, and I'm pleased I did say yes!

It has complemented my recent master degree and made my learning and studies so much more valuable in many different ways for sure!

It has actually helped me create my own personal vehicle to lift off, creating my own space, where I could include my own reflections, allowing my personality to surface and be able to crystallise my ideas into posts, images and videos I'm interested in:) 

My Leicester Awards for Employability Experience! Part I

Late May of this year, as I was in the middle of my academic research for my HRM & Training master degree dissertation, I received an email from the University of Leicester inviting me to participate in the Leicester Awards for Employability course being conducted for the university graduates over the three months summer break (June-Aug 2013).

Although I was very much overwhelmed with my existing study research and work load, I was extremely honoured to be invited and really welcomed the chance to take part with other fellow students as professionals of different background and disciplines, coming together from across the globe to learn, interact and work on our SM capabilities.

I too was very pleased to be given the opportunity to hone on my newly found knack for Social Media!

The Online Networking course is one of numerous Leicester Awards courses available to the University of Leicester graduate students helping them better improve on their business management skills, along networking and communication capabilities. These courses have been ideally devised with the students future career move in mind to highly assist them in their employability search after graduation.

The Importance of the Internet, Social Media & The Need to Being Connected Online!

The virtual world of the online www. has been a wonderful way to explore the world, understand a multitude of perspectives, and be in touch with the realities of life the way it is lived elsewhere; by one's friends & family away; or by how life goes on in different countries for different people. 

It's just AMAZING to be able to have at your fingertips a window to different worlds, some are new and  bewildering; some we know, are familiar with and great to revisit whenever one fancies:)

Others are less pleasant and happy... Many places are quite shocking indeed! Frightening realities for many, lived in horrid ways for millions of people living in poverty and total neglect; deprived and destitute, going through life in total misery...
