  • CareerBuilder, Jobster, and MyWorkster, have a section of your profile where you can include video.
  • Dress professionally in business attire, just as if you were going to an in-person interview. Keep your video resume short: one - three minutes. Look at the camera not at the desk or table below you. Don't speak too fast. Make sure there isn't any background noise and that the wall behind you isn't too busy. Practice what you're going to say ahead of time. Start by mentioning your name (first and last). Focus on your professional endeavors, not your personal ones. Discuss why you would be a good employee and what you can do for the company that hires you. Thank the viewer for considering you for employment.

    Great tips on video resumes. How to make them as well as why they help.
  •  
    Video resumes are different than a Typical resume because you're actually the one in front of the camera and speaking about who you are and what you do. This is a lot different and I would say harder then writing your information on a piece of paper. But the advantages of this are they can see you for who you really are and not what's written on a piece of paper. A disadvantage of this is that you have to make sure you pin point your audience is and that can be difficult at times. When writing something on a paper it's easy to address certain people but when you are actually in front of someone or in front of a camera you have to work a little harder to present yourself in the right way.

  •  
    This website provides useful information about video resumes. I liked that it provided tips that will help us prepare when making a video resume. The tip I thought was important was making sure to keep the video short. It also provided a list of "don't"s. I like that it mentioned not to mix one's personal life with the professional one.

D#1, HW#13-Design Website-Architectural Design - 0 views

  •  
    D#1, HW#13 I really enjoyed this website for a couple different reasons. First of all, the design process is similar to that in the book, but yet it has a different approach because it is for an architectural piece, instead of a web site or banner for example. I also enjoyed it because it is not only a list of the concepts for the designer process, but it is also the steps that this particular architectural design teams uses and wants to share with their customers. This shows those customers that they have a structured plan and as a customer you can know where you are in the time line of your design and build process. Although the design process is not exactly the same as the book, it uses the same concepts from beginning with a blank page and sketching out ideas, to ending with details helping to make the project personal to the audience.

D#2, HW#2-Chapter 2 Website - 1 views

  •  
    D#2, HW#2 I thought that this was the best website that demonstrated Chapter 2 in my opinion. The website talks about the same kind of elements as in the chapter including size, color, weight, and style. I also enjoyed it because the writer explained, like the book, the reason for each of these techniques and why they help the reader get the information that is being shown to them.

D#6, HW#1-Design Basics: Repetition To Create Visual Themes | Van SEO Design - 0 views

  •  
    This website goes over and adds to some important concepts already covered in chapter 6 of the text. Added to some ideas about repetition different ways to use it and how to create it in text and images. Repetition is key to creating unity and consistency in design which is important when trying to grasp a readers attention.
  •  
    D#6, HW#1-- I liked this website because I have also used it a previous time for balance, so it helps when they continue one from where you were left off. It gives you the chance to see the document being used go through a complete transformation with all of the design elements. They discuss repeating colors and fonts, and then discuss about repeating aesthetics.

    How To Write Instructions
  •  
    D#2, HW#8 I think this website about how to write instructions because of the examples it give of different kinds of instructions you may come across. Also, it tells you what not to say... not just what you should say so that you can see both sides of the situation. This will help with Project #1 because it shows you what you shouldnt put so that your reader doesnt get confused!

D#5, HW#1-All About Presentations: Design Basics Part 3: The Alignment Principle - 0 views

  •  
    D#5, HW#1- I enjoyed this website for multiple reasons. First of all, I enjoy websites that start off defining the design element. In this case, alignment. Then, it continues on with examples of documents and even different real life examples including the benefits of the alignment changes. It compares before images with the after images just like the book does also.

D#7 HW#6 Respecting Copyright - 0 views

  • Briefly review subjects covered in last lesson: plagiarism, proper citation and paraphrasing, honesty and trustworthiness in school research and writing.
  • “Who owns copyrighted materials such as movies, music, and web pages?” Tell students that the copyright owner is the person who created the work, e.g. author, musician, artist, computer program/game creator, scientist-inventor, business person, etc.
  • Next ask the class if they are familiar with the Happy Birthday song. Inform them that this song is protected by copyright
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Copyright is a form of legal protection given to the authors of books, music, movies, etc. Users of the books may not make copies without permission from the authors except in limited occurrences for school and personal use where there is no profit involved. This limited use is known as Fair Use which we will talk about shortly.
  • The digital aspect of the web allows for wonderful innovations such as MP3 players but ethical personal use must be employed to avoid legal punishment.
  • The RIAA, the professional organization which represents the recording companies, (Recording Industry Association of America), has reacted with copyright infringement legal actions against schools and college students. Have you noticed the warnings posted on music CDs or movie DVDs?
  • Now there are more legal ways for music customers to purchase their music online with services such as iTunes, Rhapsody, amazon.com, etc. There are even some legitimate free music download examples. For example, some unknown bands may provide free previews online. While other more popular bands or singers may post a sample tune for fans to hear for free.
  • Copyright and Fair Use, inform the students that the expert speaker is an attorney that helps students and professors at a university to learn about the ethics and Fair Use guidelines of copying digital information such as music, movies, or web content for school.
  •  
    This is a good example of how copyright is explained.  The comic shown in this article is very cute and original, gives us an idea of how we can copyright without knowing.
