Week of January 30

This week, I spent about four and a half hours writing and revising the project scope for my main client, and sending it to the teacher. This did not include the classwork time. I ended up canceling my client meeting because the scope approval process was behind schedule, and I was not feeling well.

In addition, I also researched how to write cover letters, put together a Handshake profile, and watched some class discussion resources on writing cover letters. This made me want to prepare job website profiles on other sites, and it prompted me to look at the areas where my LinkedIn profile was missing things.

One of my main takeaways from the week is that I am looking forward to getting real-world web design experience under my belt to put on my resume. The other takeaway is that resume and cover letter writing is a very overwhelming experience at first.

  1. I already had a portfolio website but I decided to complete a new one and give it an update. I have never completed a cover letter. Usually, when a job asks for a cover letter, I will pass the job up. I have been able to complete the cover letter. I feel confident in creating a cover letter now.
    I am also looking forward to the real-world experience of website development. I have some experience on some personal projects but not for others. It should be interesting.

  3. There is definitely a lot to do and keep track of. All of it together can definitely get overwhelming. Your blog website is very crisp, clean, and well-designed. I like the layout you have and your blog site is very professional looking.

    Sometimes documentation can take so long. Trying to figure out what all needs to be included, wording, and formatting can really take some extra time. Well, I suppose, this is something that takes me a while. I spend a lot of time figuring out formatting, fonts I think are appropriate and readable, and trying to figure out how to accurately say something with little to no room for misinterpretation.

    I will say, the more I do it, the better I feel I get. I like to try to spend time researching good ways to create professional documentation and then playing around with different components. I also have a lot of “real-world” experience as I have worked in administrative roles creating formal/professional documents for quite a few years now. That really helps.
