CURRENT WEB PRESENCE ANALYSIS Executive Summary

When I graduate I would like pursue a career in healthy lifestyle coaching. My degree is health sciences and I would like to work with people and helping them the best I can. I would like to be a health promoter/wellness coach. After researching I noticed that I still have a lot to learn about my major but I still feel like its the right one for me. My resources and the LinkedIn profiles showed me that there are many different job opportunities I can do with my future degree. So I decided to look and see what the difference might be between the jobs and too see what I have to start doing in order to be able to get the job like those in five years. I would be analyzing three job advertisements that relates to health promoter. I will be looking at profiles and talking about them and what the skills they need to work in this profession or the skills they have. I am intrigued to Google myself and see what appears. I am not scared at all to search myself because there shouldnt be anything bad online. I barley have accounts, and most of them are school related. I still feel like I should have accounts that are more based towards my degree and future career. They should be like the LinkedIn website or any other job based sources. The professional identities helped me see that there are many different types of jobs you can get with the degree of health sciences. Experience is really important and having good skills. I will be volunteering from now on and trying to get the experience I need.

CURRENT WEB PRESENCE ANALYSIS The Future Professional Me

When I graduate from Arizona State University in 2014 I will be receiving a bachelor in Health Science. I hope to go and work for a clinic or hospital in coaching others to be healthy. I feel like there are many different things I can do with this degree and as long as I help others I dont mind exactly what type coach or promoter I am. I would like to be assisting others and helping them to be healthy because I really want to make a difference and not let people fall into diseases. I would like to be a health promotion wellness coach; this career looks like it would be beneficial to me and all those people I talk to. I would be talking to others and helping them maintain the healthy lifestyle they have always wanted. When hiring I believe they look for dedication. I think I personally have to be engaged in a healthy lifestyle in order to give good advice. Also to work in this position you need to be able to have good people skills. You need to be interested in helping and have some experience.

As I was researching for health promoter/wellness coach jobs, I kept my eyes opened to see what type of jobs came up. The first one is called WELLNESS SPECIALIST. The company is Nelnet, it is located in Greater Denver Area and was posted on April 4th 2012. Nelnet is one of the leading education and finance companies in the United States. I would like to apply for this job in a couple of years because their mission is to develop and implement strategies for healthy and safe lifestyle.

This job also needs at least 3-5 years experiences in either health coaching, health promotion, clinical nutrition. I feel like this job has a lot to offer as well but I need to get started with looking for my experience in the health care field.

The third job is WELLNESS PROGRAM MANAGER and the company is Allergan in Irvine, California. Allergan is a global, technology-driven multi-specialty health care company. This job is more of a challenge because this is more for research and development or sales, but it also helps patients to live life to their fullest potential. This job is asking for a bachelors degree in a health care field or 8 years of professional experience in working in health promotion. It also wants outstanding project management, excellent communication and presentation skills, and also effective writing skills.

She had a lot of past experience that leads to success. The skill she has and is needed is to have experience with wellness coach, personal trainer, health consultant. She also has many certifications of being a fitness coach, college instructor, first aid, CPR, facilitator, trainer, etc. She is really professional and has a lot of experience and background information which is really good.

She is also the president and principal coach at Zoie Coaching and has been there for four years. Diana attended University of Pennsylvania and The George Washington University. Another experience she had was being the manager at Take Care Health System and a Health Coach at Whole Health Management. These are very different jobs from the ones I choose but there are many things you can do with the degree of health sciences, and I would like to do any.

For a position in the health field the five criteria I would use to evaluate would be experience, communication skills, and presentation skills, writing skills, and working independently. I would look for experience because it is very important that they know what they are doing when giving advice. To give the advice they have to have good communication skills

CURRENT WEB PRESENCE ANALYSIS

and presentation skills so they are able to give their information easier and better to understand. So you need good writing skills as well to give out the information in way that you and others understand. Another thing is that you need to be able to work independently when talking to others and you giving the advice. So to work in this profession which is health science you need various types of criteria that works with the exact type of work they are going to do.

CURRENT WEB PRESENCE ANALYSIS The Current Me

After searching myself on Google yahoo and Bing I noticed that about the same results appeared. On Google I found more of my information like my work for my TWC class and my facebook account. The online identities I have would be my facebook, yahoo mail, wordpress, and diigo. After looking at that I think I have nothing to worry about, mainly school stuff appears and that is good because it shows what I have done. It shows that Im not having a lot of accounts and that I keep my work professional. My facebook is just a place for me to communicate with my relatives and close friends, Im not sure if Im suppose to worry about that or not. Im responsible and there are no other things besides school.

Online Identities:

1. Facebook 2. Yahoo 3. Wordpress 4. Diigo See URLs in Appendix C I see that I have no online presence and that may be a problem when applying for a job. I may need to get more involved with my major and get more connections. The criteria I chose earlier is shown in some parts because I am getting experience from school work, communication skills is also expressed and more importantly presentation skills, writing skills and working independently are all shown because of the college experience.

CURRENT WEB PRESENCE ANALYSIS Bridging the Gap

One of my strengths would be that I like to help others in changing and improving their lives. I will be working with people that want to make a change in their lives and I am going to be there to help him the best way I can. I have always tried to give the best advice I can to help others. I am glad to have chosen a career of guiding others because I feel like its something I will be good at. As I continue to work and expand my knowledge I will continue to build on my strength.

My next strength would be that I am a people person. I love talking to people and I am bilingual which helps me a lot. Communication is something big that is required in this field because you have to talk to many people and be able to guide them. I will always be talking to people and that only makes me better at dealing with others and helping them. I will continue to build on this in my college life as well as my future jobs.

One of my weaknesses would be lack of experience. I really need to work on getting either an internship or volunteer work before I graduate. I need to be able to know exactly what Im going for and need to work hard to get there. Most of the jobs I searched for, said you need to have experience, so to change that I need to get productive and start looking for a place to volunteer.

The next weaknesses would be lack of motivation to change my healthy ways. I feel like if I cant motivate myself most of the time then it will be hard to motivate others. I plan to change that by motivating myself and giving it 100% so it is much easier to motivate others.
