Hi, I'm Tiffany and

I lead teams focused on building AI responsibly here at google.

I've served in the United States Army, worked as a consultant and

have worked as a program manager in privacy and machine learning fairness.

Data and

having a rich understanding of data has always been an important part of my job.

Today, we have more data available to us than ever before and it's important to be

able to derive insights to help decision makers make the best possible decisions.

I'm so glad you're here and I really hope this program is to give

you all kinds of new possibilities to think about.

You've already learned so much.

We've covered the basics of data driven fields and looked at career roles.

How data professionals are being used by different industries and

how those in the field can make a valuable contribution.

You're gaining a vast range of knowledge and skills which is going to be extremely

valuable as you prepare to join us in the amazing field of data driven careers.

At this point in the program, I encourage you to take some time to reflect on

how your experiences so far are setting you up for a great career.

And one way to do that is by enhancing your current online presence.

In the google data analytics certificate, we covered numerous job related materials,

including how to create an effective resume and LinkedIn profile.

This video is about improving your existing career assets.

Those of us who were involved in the google data analysis certificate,

always love receiving learner feedback,

especially when it has to do with someone else's professional success.

I remember one person who took the initiative to refine her linkedin profile

as soon as she began the program.

She noted that she was currently working through her program and

she added to her profile many of the technologies she had become familiar with.

Well not long after she saw an advertisement for her dream job,

even though she was early on in her DA education, she decided to apply for

it and she got it.

The hiring manager told her that the fact that she had familiarity with those data

tools, really set her apart from other candidates.

There are tons of stories just like this one that proved the value of having

a compelling and professional linkedin presence.

So let's get into that now.

A professional online presence enables you to better connect with others in

the field.

You can share ideas, ask questions or

provide links to a useful website or an interesting article in the news.

These are great ways to meet other people who are passionate about data

focused jobs.

Even if you're already part of the community,

strengthening your network makes it even more dynamic.

LinkedIn is an amazing way to follow industry trends.

Learn from thought leaders and stay engaged with the global data analytics

community and of course it has job boards and recruiters who are actively looking

for data professionals for all sorts of organizations and industries.

So it's a good idea to always keep your profile up to date and

to be sure to include a professional photo.

Beyond that, consider including a link to some of the relevant projects you've done

in data analytics,

such as the portfolio project you'll work on during this program.

As you continue expanding your online presence to represent the work

you're doing in data analytics, the connections you make

will be an important part of having a truly fulfilling networking experience.

Plus, there are also many rewarding in person networking opportunities which

will explore soon.

See you then.
