SWOT Analysis Strengths   My digital media blog has strengths such as showing off all the work that I've completed during and outside of the time of my Digital Media extended certificate. It showcases the things that I'm good at and what I enjoy doing (e.g. videography and editing images) with many examples of these things - my blog also shows my attempts, fails and successes, of creating different things which shows the progression as improvements are made on key elements that can be changed for the better. Blogs can also be commented with feedback or criticism which can be improved and touched upon.  Weaknesses   However, some of the work completed may not currently be up to the best of its standard but as there is a lot of work completed, sometimes is it difficult to go back to exact pieces of work and to reflect on them.  Opportunities The opportunities of a digital media blog would be that possible future employer could possibly see the online digital media blogs, enjoy/ l

A social media profile relates to having a Facebook, Instagram etc. profile, which in this context relates to personal and social content, with no reference to employment purposes.  A digital portfolio is online , or even a portfolio of work on a DVD.

What are the benefits of having a media profile?
