Digital Identity Plan: Wilma Jonsson

by WILMA JONSSONDI by studentsPosted on No Comments

My improved and final Digital Identity Plan is composed by the following parts in the order of how they appear in my visualization of the DIP.

  • Objectives: the career goals I aspire to meet in a near future
  • Target groups: people important for me to reach in order to accomplish my goals
  • Value proposition: my main characteristics and strengths that distinguish me from the others. What I have to offer the target groups
  • Key activities: Actions required to reach the objectives
  • Key resources: Key tools such as platforms and people which can aid me in the key activities
  • Collaborators: People I interact with in my professional life
  • Channels: platforms or social medias on which I will present myself and reach out to target groups and collaborators
  • Costs: what I will have to pay in order to accomplish my key activities
  • Contents: keywords

By creating this Digital Identity Plan I have a roadmap to follow which can help me achieve my goals and create a strong presence in the digital space.

MOOC reflection

by WILMA JONSSONMOOC CoursesPosted on No Comments

The MOOC course “Introduction to Personal Branding” has made me understand why it is important to create a personal branding for myself. Both to create my foundation in order to know myself and what I want in life but also to manage expectations from other people around me such as colleagues, collaborators and managers. 

The course gave hands-on tips on how to manage the personal branding and I found the personality test very informative and eye-opening. This made me really understand what I am looking for in a company and what my goals in my personal life are. Also the 3 words and the mission statement helped me with this. 

The tips regarding a professional photo also made me aware of how important it is to show who you are in other ways as well. For example the use of linkedIn to expand my network and the importance of having a good photo that represents me and makes me recognizable. 

Some parts of the course were not really relevant to me such as the leadership approach to personal branding as well as the in-depth explanation of Twitter/X. However, some parts were still applicable in other contexts, for example in other platforms or when collaborating with other people.

The course also made me realize the importance of continuous learning and how a MOOC course can expand my knowledge outside my field of study in the classroom. Therefore I added Coursera as a tool in my personal learning environment since I can see the great benefits of taking more courses like this.

I attach here the course certificate that shows that I have completed the course!

My Personal Learning Environment

by WILMA JONSSONContributions to PLE by students.Posted on No Comments

My current learning environment looks like the following.  The tools I would recommend trying out are overleaf for writing more complex documents with many equations and figures and office lens for scanning documents. The rest I believe to be well-known for most people. The comments I received from teachers and classmates were regarding the tools that I used and some tips on how to improve the way I am currently working. 

My improved learning environment has been extended with some more tools and digital platforms that I would like to incorporate more into my personal learning environment. The additions made are LinkedIn to expand my network and introduce me to the professional environment, Canva for more visual contents and presentations, Mendeley as a reference management tool that will aid me during my writing process. There is also an inclusion of ted talks and coursera for expanding my knowledge outside of the classroom and the school environment by using learning tools such as mooc and inspirational/educational speeches.

After the addition of tools I feel that it will help my learning and improve my knowledge both within my field but also aid me to gain other important skills that can make me stand out amongst other people. The introduction of LinkedIn will be the biggest improvement to help me become part of the professional work environment and my professional growth and development.

Personal reflection on the professional future

by WILMA JONSSONStudents presentationsPosted on No Comments

Over time, the traditional approach to work has typically followed a familiar pattern: discover an interest, pursue education, enter the workforce, and remain in that field until retirement. However, with technological advancements and revolutions ahead there is a potential threat of AI replacing jobs leading to people having to consider multiple career shifts throughout their lives.

This signifies a shift where past job-specific skills might not be as critical in the future if you are forced to give up a career path to pursue something else. Instead, emphasis may shift towards cultivating soft skills like adaptability, continuous learning, and maintaining mental agility, to easier overcome the challenges of transitioning careers more frequently. As our professional lives are expected to extend due to us living longer, the ability to learn and adapt becomes very important.

Reflecting on such insights shared by influential author Yuval Noah Harari, I’ve contemplated my own career path. While I might optimistically (naively) believe it won’t significantly affect me, I acknowledge this might come from me not fully understanding the extent of AI’s potential implications. However, since the field of sustainability is still on its rise in society, I believe that the importance of such jobs will only increase in the future. Personally, I am looking forward to being challenged at my future workplace and I will hopefully have the possibility to evolve in many different fields and have the opportunity to constantly learn more and deepen my knowledge day by day. Therefore I think that will give me an edge against the possibility of being replaced by AI or automation processes. 

This realization has deepened my understanding of the significance of continuous learning. I’m committed to maintaining an open mind and challenging myself in many ways to be prepared to improvise, adapt and overcome future challenges if the need for a career shift should arise.

Hello! My name is Wilma Jonsson and I am 24 years old. I am from Sweden and I am currently studying Environmental Engineering at Lund University. I am currently in my fourth year and this autumn and winter I am in Madrid doing my Erasmus exchange at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. My courses are part of a master program called Circular Economy and the focus is mainly on recycling, sustainability in construction and demolition, industries and energy but also on valuable skills such as personal development and sustainable entrepreneurship.

So far I am really happy with my decision to go abroad on an exchange since I love exploring new cities and cultures. The opportunity to go to Spain has also allowed me to further improve my Spanish and hopefully I will feel more confident in Spanish after my time here.

My decision to go into a field of sustainability comes from my love for nature, animals and the environment. I would hope to be able to have a career at a company that has a positive impact on the environment and that is one of the reasons why I chose Environmental Engineering. In the future I hope to work with sustainable cities in some way. Connect with me on LinkedIn if you want to keep in touch!
