  • 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. I thought this was important especially because we are googling ourselves as part of our HW for Deadline #11.

    This is my favorite of the three articles I picked because it hits on an interesting observation that "People don't learn from information; they learn from other people." And it's more about how people use technical writing to communicate with other people.

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#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.

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.

    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!
