For this weeks blog, we have been asked to reflect on the things that we have done so far, like the quiz, and resume, and other little things in class. So far, I think I have learned a lot from these assignments. I think its always great to get a refresher on the formatting items for various parts of business writing. I learned about these in my computer applications class in high school, but haven't really done much with them since that time. I know soon, once I make it out into the real world, I will be using them quite often though! I really have been meaning to update my resume, and the fact that we had to turn them in forced me to do this. I think the last time I had updated my resume was before I came to college, because I hadnt had to use it since then. Now, I have finding many things I can use my resume for, like applying for study abroad scholarships and other various opportunities. I was glad we had to email the client, b/c it was good to set up a line of communication with them. I was suprised that she emailed us back so quickly! I hope she wanst offended that we didnt say Anderson Sunsine House, but I am grateful for the fact that she pointed it out and now we know for sure how to refer to the Sunshine HOuse.
I do feel prepared do to the portfolio now; I think the word portfolio is intimidating, but once we were shown how to do them, they dont seem hard at all. I think I might need to attend the workshop that Angie is going to have to figure out how to do the sharing and editing and stuff, but we will see! I think that by the time we get to the third portfolio, it will be a really good asset of mine to have! I think I will be ready for the presenation after this weekend, I just have to really make myself do it, especially b/c my dad is coming down for the basketball game until Monday afternoon, so i have to make sure to get all my work done! I think the notes Angie went over were really helpful, and should make me have a great PPT presentation. I am excited for the interview, and nervous, because I think that it will be a GREAT learning opportunity. I have never really had a real interview like this before, so I hope it goes well. I think my group is ready to start doing some seriousl work on the project...maybe. I think we dont really know in which direction to go, but I really like it will come to us once we start getting into it. I am not that worried about it all, especially becuase I know a lot of help is available to us if we need it! I dont think that i have any questions about any of the topics!
