Today’s Plan:
- Cover Letter Feedback
- Course Evaluations
- Homework
Today we are going to be setting up linkedin accounts. Many of you already have a gmail account with your professional/pen name. Good!
First, let’s skim two quick articles on linkedin. Then we will set up accounts.
My expectations for your web presence project:
- A graphic and engaging website that contains
- An “About Me” or personal description
- A resume
- A portfolio of at least four works with some level of textual splash/blurb/description
- Contact information, including links to professional social media
- Something else?
- A Linkedin account that contains
- Education
- Skills section
- Location
- Summary Statement / Elevator Pitch (40-50 words)
- I’ll also collect a final cover letter. Remember that the cover letter, resume, and portfolio should share some level of branding (especially the cover letter and resume).
Homework
On Friday I’ll provide details for handing in final versions of these materials. I also want to talk a bit about the second project–the personal learning project.
