mY Facebook Page

We are asked to create a new Facebook page as a business card. Actually, Facebook page is useful. Facebook page also can be very professional; this page just likes a copy of my resume. Once I created the new page, everyone can see what is on there. The Facebook page is a free way to advertising me.

This is my page, so I can write anything I want. The purpose of the page is for my potential employers. So in my page info, I added my academic history, work experience, skills, volunteers and personal information. Through the information provided, people can know me more, the professional side of me.

Facebook page is very important for communication. When we created the page, the page is there forever, unless you delete it. Also, everyone can find you on Facebook. Honestly, before this course, I did not know the social media tools like Facebook can be used professional, which means the professional people can communicate globally. The people in all over the world can see my resume.

Social media such an interesting tool, we can share the latest news, articles and events.

Introductory post

That is a picture of my parent, my younger brother and me, took by my uncle. We were in Expo Shanghai 2010, before my flight to Canada.

 My name is Qiyun Liang, but I prefer my English name Yvonne, then you guys can remember my name. I am from a city near Hong Kong, small but very pretty. Now is the first term of my second year in the University of Alberta, I am major in Nutrition and food. I hope I can transfer to Nutrition Major next semester.

I really miss the summer in my hometown. Study abroad is not easy, away from family and friends; study a new language and an entirely new culture in a new country. Communication is very important between me and my family, friends due to the distance. Because my parent does not know how to call me, so I have to call them regularly, like once a week. Sometime I am very busy with assignment or exam, I forgot to call them, they would leave me bundle of message on QQ, something like MSN. Once my father told me, because I forgot to call them, my mother just couldn’t sleep all night. She was wondering whether something bad happened to me. Since that time, I call my mother every week, no matter how busy I am.

Professionally, as an international student, I have a hard time to understand the information are available to me, also, I don’t know what other information are available. Until this term, I went to meet my faculty‘s international advisor, Pamela Minty, she totally understands my situation. According to her advices, I apply to become a Campus Sustainability volunteer, and join Nutrition and Food Sciences Students Association (NuFSSA). This is my second year in Canada, my life finally moving to the right track.
