Resume Building

I am really looking forward to getting my own personal website up and running. I know that this is definitely going to be harder than I'm giving it credit for. Taking more time on it needs to be a top priority, because now I'm starting to see this as a career builder.

From the platform of a website, I can post all of my resume related information. I'm working with UP, so I look forward to being able to post information about events that I've planned and organized. Being a public relations major, being different is key.

If I can show an interviewer a website that I made, designed, and managed, then I can have a leg up on all the other people going for the same job. It's kind of exciting. Thinking about using this as a tool for future escapades.  I am excited!

Color

I just finished the "reading," and it was pretty danged sweet. I abhor the idea of having to sit for an hour reading a packet about stuff that I need for the class, but ultimately not learning anything because the person made the thing either boring or complicated.

When I first opened the website, I thought I was at the wrong place. I even closed out of it to try again, but alas I was in the right place. And it was fun. I was entertained y bthe movies about each color, and I liked being able to mess around with some games for a bit.

I am not a great learner when it comes to technical things. I can't really work with computers, let alone be confident enough to try building my own website. But a website like the one we looked at this week really gives me hope. It wasn't overly complicated. The characters were basically advanced stick figures. But it was still really engaging. I hope everyone else enjoyed it a little bit too!
