Task 1d. Flickr

Task 1d.

I have created a flickr account for this task and decided to use it to display relevant photos to my performing success so far. I have selected a few pictures which I have uploaded but I will continue to add photos as the course goes on. It's a great way to show people visually what you are up too and a way of showing your achievements.

Here's the link...

I hope it works :)

Task 1c.

Task 1c?!?!?!

I'm going to revisit this task once I get some ideas together about whether to do a face to camera video or maybe some other way of explaining how the course is going so far, OH and also work out posting on YouTube! Haha. To be continued... :)

Task 1b - Web 2.0

When I looked at this task to start with i thought surely this carnt be that hard, I use social media every day Facebook, Twitter, instagram...I was soon to be wrong!

There are so many different aspects to using Web 2.0 with in professional practice. I have looked into positive and negative ways social networks can impact our career - Advertisement and reputation right through to false interpretations and conduct. There are lots of things to take into consideration that I may not of usually thought about initially when using social media sites.  I have been using something on a daily basis that I haven't known much about untill this task! I have certainly analysed my own use of Web 2.0 regards to the benefits and disadvantages of incorpeating it into my own professional practice.

Lots more research to be done :)

Task 1a.

Just a quick brief update of the first task and what I'm thinking :)

-Professional profile.

As everyone knows a CV is something that communicates to an employer information about our skills and our character to help us in our working life to potentially secure a job whatever that may be.

As I am a dancer/performer and also a teacher, I have found having two CV's with the relevant information on each regarding the two different job types I'd be applying for  makes a lot of sense.

Whilst training at college they guided us on how to create our performing CV which you take along to auditions or apply to agencies/castings etc with, so for me my performing CV would probably be the one needing the least work as long as I keep it up to date and a few tweeks here and there and also keeping up with trends of the Industry.

Which leads me on to my general CV which you would use to apply for a job in something such as retail/teaching/administration for example. Mine includes details about my character as well as school grades. After reviewing it and gaining others opinions I have learnt that I need to keep detail short and too the point and be careful of writing a 'story'. Reviewing my CV each time I apply for a job making sure it is aimed at the correct target audience.

This task has given me the opportunity to adjust both my CV's however this will be an on going process over the duration of the course and beyond.

Here's an example of my performing CV :)
