Blog II: Your Career

Welcome to the first blog for the summer of 2019.   This blog anticipates the resume and cover letter assignment next week.  For this blog, think about your future after college.  What profession are hoping to invest in for your future? What are your salary expectations and are there enough opportunities to keep you feeling fulfilled going to work each day.   So, for this first blog, answer these questions with a minimum of two detailed paragraphs.

1.  Discuss your career aspirations after college (Now, nothing is written in stone; you may end up doing something different than what your write here; however, it's a good idea to start thinking about your potential now)


2.  What education or certifications will you need for this job?  How many years of school do you need?


3.  What are your salary expectations for this career?  Will it be enough to satisfy your needs?


Again, this blog should be at least two fully developed paragraphs.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Fall: Blog Post I

For this blog, you are to write a short complaint letter about a faulty product.  The product is up to you.  I will be looking for the following things in this blog-letter:

1.  Two addresses written in the format discussed in class (Do not forget examples were provided in the Week I files in Canvas).

2.  A formal greeting ending with a colon.

3.  Two fully developed paragraphs where you discuss the problem and demand some recompense.

4.  A closing with your name appearing below.

I look forward to reading your complaint letters.

Summer: Blog III

Blog III: Spring 2019

For this blog, propose a website you would design, thinking about what we have learned designing websites in class.   As you propose a write-up of your website, please answer the following questions:

(1)What is your website about? What is its purpose?  Who are the different readers (primary, secondary, and tertiary).

(2) Does your website contain any of the social contexts----(PEPE).


(3) Summarize what your website would look like?  For example, you could talk about the home page or the content found on the other pages.

This should be at least two paragraphs.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Blog II: Cover Letter

For this blog, you will write a rough draft of your cover letter.   Think about a job you can get, and write a cover letter expressing your interest and qualifications for the job.   We will discuss cover-letter writing in class.   This blog should probably be one full page and be written as closely to the format described in class.

Your letter should include the following:

Your address
Employer's address
Letter containing your talents and acquired experience for the job.
At least three paragraphs.
