I began this year with getting back on track with my blog. I had done only a few over Summer so I'm really glad I am back on track with them, I have much more information this semester to write though, which is why there's been so much more writing!
Before this module I didn't really have a proper portfolio. OK I had some of my work from college, but that was all A1 work which quite frankly looks very unprofessional compared to my university work. It was all A1 whereas all my work from university has been A3 at the biggest. I got hold of an A3 portfolio which looks so much more professional and neat, it is also so much more handy to carry around!
I have improved all my favourite uni work so much using Photoshop, I'm very proud of it. I also labeled all my pages, and added a business card to the front. Also adding a pretty label for the outside to make mine look a bit different to everyone else's is a nice touch!
I'm very proud to have a good portfolio now which I'm very confident about showing at my mock interview at the end of this module!My CV has improved no end, along with the creative CV which I have never done before. I found that looking at past student's examples in lessons was really helpful along with the lectures about how to improve. I went home confident enough to create a good looking CV with all the right information needed.
Cover letters I've always been quite confident with but I'm still interested in getting my feedback to see where I can improve on that.
Overall this has been a great module with a lot I've learned which I know will help me no end with my work placement at the end of the year and work after university. I realise I need to perhaps make my portfolio and CV more swayed towards the job that I'm interested in for my work placement such as the Derby Theatre wardrobe assistant. As I don't know for certain where I'm going yet I think it'll be alright for now.
