Video resumes

While the video resumes you put up on your blogs might not be the final version that you want to upload to a professional career site like LinkedIn, it is a start. You might think it's silly to put up a video resume when you can do the introductions in person in class. But what I really want you to do is watch yourself as you do a self introduction. In small groups, it is mandatory that you give a speech to let your co-workers know who you are, where you come from, what kinds of experiences do you bring to the table. This is just one way for you to look at yourself and observe (your content, your eye contact, your voice, your tone, your volume).

How did you come across? too serious? too casual? too much fun? unapproachable? giggly? fidgety? take a good look at your videos again and think about how you want to adjust your image. Making a good impression is important as you start establishing your identity in a group setting.

and remember: you cannot NOT communicate!

It's great to be back!

I owe the class a huge apology! For being on the road so much that I have no time to enjoy the great dynamics of this class. the good news is that I am done traveling - at least for the next several weeks, and I intend to give 120% to class to make up for the loss time.

I am definitely looking forward to getting back in the classroom and sharing the learning experience with all of you. Thank you for your patience and understanding; i know my schedule was real crazy.

See you in class people!!
