I will have my PSA to be set up so it looks like a website. The first thing the reader will see is the introduction and then my projects will appear in the order I originally made them. After the projects, I will post my two revisions along with the reflections following each one. I want each page to look like a book page so that it is flowing from one page to the other. When my readers read my portfolio they will be able to navigate through my portfolio with great ease. I will probably just have a traditional paper to introduce my portfolio.

This is my last blog posting. As I now go down memory lane, I realize that blogs and I had many adventures. Actually not really adventures, but blogs have helped me a great deal this semester. Since I used blogs every day to reflect on assignments and literacies, I now percieve blogs to be a great prewriting tool. Blogs have help me think more about my assignments and I also learned new things from other student’s blogs and thier ideas of how to write assignments. After this semester, I can definitely see myself using blogs in future classes and even on my free time. Actually, sometimes comment on blogs posted on cavs.com for fun. This type of literacy has absolutely proved to me that it can be a valuable tool when communicating to others.

How effective are the methods used?
Are their any grammar or spelling errors?
Is there any more pages I could add?
Do you think I should provide any more information?
Is there any formating problems to my web site?

I think reseeing or reimaging a literacy can be very beneficial becuase it enables me to imrove in areas that I may have want to improved last time but didn’t get a chance too. For instance, since I am redoing my resume and cover letter by putting it onto a web page, I get to fix the mistakes that I made on it. This is very similar to revising and editing it, but this project separates it from a revision because I’m taking the old project and putting it in a new direction as web page. Since it will be a web page, this will have new elements to it and top of making changes to the mistakes I made in the resume and cover letter project.

Option 3 Focus
1. Are you going to use the resume that you created for class or a modified version? Why? (remember, if you wrote your resume as though you had completed your course-work at BGSU you must change your resume)
I will use my resume that I used for the last assignment because I want to spend more on time on the website than modifying or changing my resume.
2. How will you re-present your resume (i.e., Power Point, video, audio, web page, etc)? Why did you select this format over the others?
I decided to re-present my resume by doing a web page over the other options because it was different from what we’ve done from the rest of the assignment. Also, I’ve only made a web page once for my CS 100 class and I would like to make sure that I’m still capable of making a good website.
3. What information (specifically) will you include in your project? Why?
The information that will be included is all of my credentials that I used for my resume.
4. If you are doing a visual presentation (website, video, PowerPoint, etc), use an additional sheet of paper to sketch out what you want the project to look like. If you are doing an audio project (or a video) spend some time outlining what you want to say.
5. How will this re-presentation demonstrate your literacies?
This re-presentation should demonstrate my literacies by showing that I’m capable of understanding how different litteracies work. By making a web page, I will be demonstrating that I know of different literacies and I can mesh attributes from different literacies into a cohesive piece.
6. What questions do you have about creating this presentation?
As of now, I do not have any questions about this presentation but when I start my web page, I’m sure I might run into some problems because it has been a while since I last made one.
7. Create a chronological list of the steps you will need to take to complete this project. Then, set a time-line of when each step will be completed. This will be a tentative contract between you and me to assure you’re making progress on this project.

After doing the variety of assignments, I have a new found view on literacies. I now think that literacies can be in various forms, whether it be visual, literate, informal or formal professional literacies. Another literacy I feel I have improved was blogging. Before this class, I never made a blog before. Now I do four blogs a week and I feel that I have become efficent at expressing my ideas through blogging. I think that learning how to do different literacies makes one well rounded writer and person.

After today’s workshop, I am going to specifically change the format so it is correct and add a few more relative experiences that will make me a stronger candidate for the position. Some of the things I learned today and remembered was listing vollenteer experiences and accomplishments. I failed to remember to include these experiences which could most definitely help my resume. Overall, my peer reviewers said I had done a decent job. By looking at the other resumes and cover letters that students made, I was able to come up with more ideas for my resume because they did few things differently.

So far I have just begun this assignment but I know I will have a little difficulty in making up experience for this position becuase as of right now I have not the experience that this job is looking for. This is because I am only a sophmore and I have not gotten the opportunnity yet to take on internships and other opportunities. However I have been planning on getting into those opportunities soon within the next year. I also stated in my other blog, that because of the requirements that this job entails, I’m sure that I will be able to come up with ideas to put in my resume and cover letter that will make more qualified for the position.

By looking at the job ad, I saw that it demanded some one who was very responsible, organized, and had good experience. The ad I found was for RBC Capital Markets, and I was looking at the Human Resource Manager position. This organization is a bank corporation and from reading their descriptions and their mission statement, they focus on making their clients first. There are many requirements for this position. They’re especially looking for some one who worked in a human resource managing position before. Now I know that where I am at now, I would be no where nearly qualified for this job but because of the many job description requirements, I have a better idea of what these positions are looking for. Also I know of more avenues I need to take after college so that one day I would be able to qualify for a position like this.

I think a resume is a list of one’s experience with working and education, and it it also clarifies a person’s credentials so an employer decide if that person is qualified. A good resume should have important information that will impress the future employer so they will want to hire you.
