Project 5

I thought project 5 was a great project because it wasn't a project that we would do, get a grade, and never look at it again. This online resume can be updated for many years to come. I am excited that i have a solid basis for a great resume. It is also something i have never thought of before, but it could be very convinient for a person to be able to pull up my resume online. It also shows a bit of my personality with the colors, layouts, and picture. As well as be able to put my resume to a face. Even though it was cool to get an online resume started, it was hard to make my resume specific to my genre. I dont have any experience so far with anything in the health science field. Which makes my resume look pretty blank, but then again, this project helped me realize that i need to start doing things that pertain to my major so i can have the best chance of getting a job i am applying for. I learned alot about genre in this class. The type of genre something is can make something completely different. Like our project 1 on citations, was more about research and actual fact, where as project 3, when writing a personal story, was not about whether or not it was true but more about making the details of the story come to life. I have learned that I have strengths and weaknesses in different types of writing. Now in the future I can remember that there are many options in writing a paper, and when writing for different classes or applying for different jobs, changing the format or content can make a piece more effective to what you are trying t achieve.

Online Resume

For my online resume I think i am going to use the website Weebly. I have never created a website  before so I am pretty intimidated by the thought of creating my own. I dont know how to make links or buttons to click so i hope the website gives you good instructions on how to do that. Medical lab science, my major, is in the health science field. So i was thinking i could incorporate something with that into my resume. Maybe i could use equipment you use in the lab as buttons to click to lead you to other parts of my resume.

Online Composition

Online composition is a site that a person can create all on their own and write pretty much whatever they want on it. It can be like a facebook page, myspace, twitter, xanga, or just a blog that you write about your everyday life. Websites and webpages are good for alot of things. One example is keeping in touch with old friends, or friends that you dont live close to. My friend from highschool was study in Africa for the semester, If someone wanted to get ahold of her the prices would be ridiculous to call/text. Even emailing it would be a hassle to write to every person the same story about your week, so she has a blog that she posts and all her friends and family can see what she has been up to. Sometimes blogging isnt so great because so many people can read it that sometimes it may be too personal or not personal enough for the person reading the blog when wanting to keep in touch with someone.
