Rise Self Review
Project: Mock Interview
I am in the process of moving and family has come to help. But since they are here they have not left a quiet spot in my house . I was not afforded the opportunity to record myself in a quiet environment for long so I only got out the interviewee side. I was practice interviewing for Nike in my interview since I did not mention it.
Week 3 Analysis: Virtual Interview Preparation
Exploration: Company Research
This activity is to make us look further into the places we want to work to see if it is just based on the PR of the company or the inner workings. A lot of companies can put on a good front to the public and then when you look deeper you see they treat employees bad, steal ideas, or worse. It is good to do the research first so you aren’t miserable doing something you once loved.
Project: Network Email
The last company I worked with made over $20 million in a year
Hello,
I’ve started my career as a graphic designer working for one of the fastest growing companies in Orlando and the college sports industry. I am looking to expand my knowledge and capabilities by helping another business grow. If you would, explain my abilities to your employers so that my skills may benefit us all. Check out some of my work at www.MyMacandIDesign.com and do not hesitate to ask me for more information at JonHurst0284@yahoo.com.
Thank you for your time,
Jon Hurst

Analysis: Build Your Target List
Exploration: Build Your Network
The purpose of this activity is to force you (me) to take a look at how present you actually are on the web. Since people tend to go for big names or people that have made themselves known (for good reason of course) it is important that I have a presence amongst my peers and potential employers.
Practice: Cover Letter
http://orlando.craigslist.org/med/5269578957.html
I chose a short cover letter because as a person that does the hiring you probably will get tons of resumes to sort through when you place an ad. With a longer cover letter the info may be skimmed over briefly and important information about me may be missed. With that in mind I kept mine short so it seemed a good size to be able to read without taking too much of the persons time.
Project: A Tailored Resumé
For my resume I chose to go with the artistic format. I chose this because I am looking for jobs as a graphic designer, which is an artistic position, so creativity is what they are looking for.
