D #6 HW #6 How To Improve Your Blog - 0 views

  •  
    This site offers 110 suggestions made by actual bloggers on how to improve a blog! While a number of them cannot be applied to my course blog (I'm not collaborating with anyone else, for example), there was still plenty of relevant advice. Even though I am given the topics to cover, I can still let my own personality come through. This relates to the course outcome of performance; a blog needs to feel like it was written by a human being and not by a robot.  I could also start adding videos that contribute to my audience's understanding. I know that the sample rhetoric on the town assignment included a video of the advertisement the student had analyzed. Another good suggestion is to break up the paragraphs, which I try to do, or use bullet points. Another blogger suggests using subheads.

My List: A Collection on "Definitions of Rhetoric or Rhetorical" (TWC,301,RHETORIC) | D... - 1 views

  •  
    All three websites both describe rhetoric as a persuasive and effective form of speech. The use of rhetoric is when you want a favorable outcome in your favor. Through logos, pathos, and ethos rhetorical persuasion is possible. One website goes into more depth than the other two about what logos, pathos, and ethos is. Logos is the use of induction, pathos is creating an emotional link, and ethos is being viewed as trustworthy. This website explains how it is better to be open minded and create shared opinions, because then both sides can have something to agree on if they both have different views on the main topic. The Webster definition describes how this style of communication is ancient and dates back to the 14th century. Rhetoric can be performed with both speaking and writing persuasively. Free dictionary explains how rhetoric is more about the end result and not so much the process getting there.

D#8 HW# 1.1: Conflict Management - 0 views

    • Alex Portela
       
      The difference between destructive and constructive conflict as discussed in our text for Team Writing on pages 51-54. Healthy conflict is good to bring to light more views and better understanding of a subject.
  • Destructive and Constructive Conflict
  • Destructive conflict. Behaviors that escalate a conflict until it seems to have a life of its own are dysfunctional and destructive.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Destructive conflicts may degenerate sufficiently so the conflict parties forget the substantive issues and transform their purposes to getting even, retaliating or hurting the other person.
  • Constructive conflict. Behaviors that are adaptive to the situation, person and issues of the moment are functional and constructive.
  • Constructive conflicts appropriately balance the interests of both parties to maximize the opportunities for mutual gains.
  • Focusing on the process, not just the outcome one person desires, is key to productive conflict management.

  • 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.

    The what, where,how, who, why?
  •  
    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.

    Tips about viedo resumes and how they do and dont help get you an interview
  •  
    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.
