Michael Troquier’s prezi resume is a really unique idea, but the resume seemed too long. Micheal tried to make the resume fun and entertaining, but it was too long and time consuming. Adding a comic was a cool way to discuss the project, and helped better understand the project. The comic was very informative and helped draw the viewer's attention, but it did not see too professional. Overall, the resume was really informative and easy to read. John McCarty also used a prezi for his resume. The resume does not seem professional, mainly because of the color scheme and the comics. John did a good job of explaining his skills but the resume was very repetitive. It was too long, and most recruiters do not have the time to go through the whole
Many students who are enrolled in FFA are already heading in the right direction to a bright future. FFA has many career benefits within the program. Any of the career development events (CDE’s) have something that will tie to a career in agriculture or to a career of other sorts. According to the National FFA Organization, “FFA members embrace concepts taught in agricultural science classrooms nationwide, build valuable skills through hands-on experiential learning and each year demonstrate their proficiency in competitions based on real-world agricultural skills”(“Statistics”). There are so many careers that tie into FFA, and many of them have to do with agriculture. Not every career that has to do with agriculture is about farming. There are so many different aspects of the agriculture industry that many people never think twice about. Most people are not interested in agriculture because they think it is just about farming or
Have you ever felt stuck? Wherever you are, it’s the absolute last place you want to be. In the book Into the Wild, Chris McCandless feels stuck just like the average everyday person may feel. Chris finds his escape plan to the situation and feels he will free himself by going off to the wild. I agree with the author that Chris McCandless wasn’t a crazy person, a sociopath, or an outcast because he got along with many people very well, but he did seem somewhat incompetent, even though he survived for quite some time.
The Taco Bell and KFC “micro brand” known as ZAK Family Foods is successful for three important reasons: a concept of family, a passion for progress, and a dedication to social responsibility. These three elements have evolved organically from the brand’s very beginnings. In 1979, Jerry Zakaras, now CEO and Franchisee of ZAK Family Foods, began his journey to support his family as a Restaurant General Manager for a Pizza Hut in Plattsmouth, Nebraska. His cooperation with those working with him in the restaurant expressed itself in a way that was very familiar; it was the restaurant family. His value for family was what motivated him to explore the restaurant world, and it was what opened the doors to his business success.
The definition of grit is simple; it means being passionate about long term goals, and showing stamina to pursue them, but should students in public schools have a class dedicated to a grit-focused curriculum? This has become a major topic of discussion among teachers and mentors. Angela Duckworth, a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, claims grit is not a fixed quality but one that can be developed. Many disagree with her statement. Grit is something everyone all have within themselves, but some just do not utilize this characteristic as often or as well as others. Grit is a puzzling concept. Duckworth has had an obsession with grit for over a decade. Her obsession started when she visited West Point,

A resume is the first opportunity that potential employer has to get to know about you, therefore also the most important opportunity you have to show off your skills without sounding too arrogant and stand out in front of potentially hundreds of other applicants. A resume is basically a description of your background, skills, and accomplishments; it also tells who you are, what you want to do, and what you have to offer. To accomplish this goal you want to focus on the five main part of making a resume: employment objective, past experiences, skills, references, and format.
Every day, more and more attempts of banning books and taking away the rights of our First Amendment get violated. The challenging of a book is the attempt to remove or restrict materials, and the banning is the removal of these materials. I believe that books should not be banned for these reasons.
I really like this paragraph but don’t know where it should go, or if it belongs anywhere at all—I just don’t have the heart to cut it entirely: In the first hour of work today, I explained to a conductor why the requested new arrangement will not be available for rehearsal next week (“it’s not on the arrangers’ to-do list; according to your previous email, it was on the back burner”), advised a chorus member on what to prepare for a conducting audition (“I know it sounds unoriginal, but if you can get into and out of the men’s section of Battle Hymn, that shows you have skills”), and talked with an IP attorney about whether auditions via YouTube would be legal. Every half hour, Outlook reminds me to pay last quarter’s royalties for music downloaded from our website, and I hit snooze.
A piece of a resume may not have meaning to any ordinary person, but to the writer, a sheet of paper reflects a day and feeling that will not be forgotten. As the writer sits in class, a National Honor's Society paper is passed around inviting all the eligible students to have a chance to join the Excalibur Chapter. The writer is excited; she has wanted to be in National Honors Society since she was a freshman. She watched her absences, kept good behavior, and strived for good grades in hope of being inducted during her Junior year.
Creating this portfolio has been a blast. Although, there were certain parts to the portfolio that did not play to my strengths. For example, the very first piece you asked to be written was very challenging for me. It took me many rough drafts to be able to indirectly characterize a psychological trait of a character. My first couple of drafts for this piece were describing different traits of the character. I was easily frustrated with the end results of all the pieces, so I scrapped the idea of physical trait and shifted my focus to a physiological trait. It was also challenging for me to describe my first trip to Disney World as negative experience, especially since that trip was the first thing I vividly remember and having an amazing
Chronological and functional resumes are the most commonly used resumes but there is a slight difference in the format (Cardon, P 2013).
I do think that the other pieces of my portfolio are quality because I did spend time and effort on those and I do feel very good about the rest of it. I have never liked English throughout my school career, so basically my attitude has been bad about it. This year has been
Portfolios serve the purpose of an extensive record of a student’s best work and skills. As the student progresses through life, record keeping and reflection becomes an expectation. A résumé cannot possibly describe the entire list of qualities each individual possesses. As a result, portfolios thrive in high schools and offices alike to demonstrate a person’s capabilities in the greatest detail. Any person with a future-oriented mindset should have a portfolio to create opportunities for a successful life.
