Animal Shelters

Final Blog Post

 I really enjoyed this class. I learned how to use tools I've never used before, like Blogger.com, Canva.com. I used Blogger.com every week to create my blog posts for the discussion board, and I used Canvas.com to create brochures, resumes, and other templates for many other assignments. They were both very simple to use after figuring out how everything worked. They also have many templates to chose from and you are able to customize them as well.  The most challenging part about the class I had personally was creating a resume. I work for my mom so I've never had an actual professional interview so I've never had to create a resume. This class showed me how to create a proper resume which will be very useful for my future when I am applying for a job. I will also be using Canvas.com in the future to make any brochures or resumes.

Infographic Activity

  An infographic is  a collection of imagery, data visualizations like pie charts and bar graphs, and minimal text that gives an easy-to-understand overview of a topic . Here are two infographics I found online: The first Infographic is explains what an infographic is and the second one is a business timeline infographic. I like infographics because instead on reading a bunch of information, I am able to look at an image and learn instead of reading. To create my own infographic, I used the website Canva. I have used this same website to make resumes, brochures and you are able to use it for so many other things. They have many templates to chose from and it is a very helpful tool. My infographic is about the types of questions that will be asked during interviews.

Job Search

 Job searching can be difficult and very stressful. While searching for jobs, you need to make sure the job is in your area, the pay is reasonable, you meet all of the requirements, and it works with your schedule depending on if you were interested in full-time or part-time. There are so many things you need to look over before actually applying for the job, submitting your resume and attending an interview. You need to make sure your resume is up to date and then you need to prepare yourself for the interview. It can also be very stressful if you don't get the job and have to repeat the whole process over again and sometimes it takes multiple tries before getting a job. I have took the time to job search for something I would be interested in after graduating with a bachelor's degree in business. The job I searched was a  Medical Diagnostics Sales Representative . I found the job on the Indeed website.  What I will be working on: Achieve sales targets through efficient ...

 I decided to create my newsletter using canvas. My newsletter is about job searching and the best ways to do it.  I enjoyed using canvas as it was easy and well organized and many different template options. 

Chapter 11 Prezi Blog

 I have used Prezi in the past for many school projects so it was pretty easy for me to set everything up. I really enjoy using Prezi for presentations and I find it to be the most organized presentation cite to use.  I did need to look up a couple YouTube videos though to refresh my memory. I haven't used Prezi since high school. I would recommend to anyone making a presentation as it is very easy to use for beginners and they have a lot of really cool templates already set up that you can edit your own presentation on. https://prezi.com/p/edit/ebaz1dmdtx8b/

https://www.grammarly.com/blog/professional-email-in-english/ This website shows you the steps to write a professional email plus examples. The article first starts off by explaining what a professional email is. " A professional email is an  email  sent in a professional setting, such as between two colleagues, a supervisor and their employee, a student and their professor, or a job applicant and a hiring manager." The website then gives some topics on  what  the email could be about whether it is for work or school, etc. It then gives useful tips and facts when writing an email and finally a few examples. I really enjoyed this website. I found it easy to read through, very organized and helpful when writing a professional email. It was very helpful when they included 3 examples at the  bottom  which I used to help write my own email. This is an image of a professional email about to be sent on Gmail. This was useful to me because it is everything is alrea...

Blog:      Today I am going to blog about rescue animals. Growing up, I have had many great rescue dogs and cats. There are so many out there who are in need of homes and even end up dying if they aren't able to find one . There are many animal shelters to look at in Kenosha or Racine that have great options when it comes to dogs. A lot of people assume that the only kind of dog that comes from a shelter is an aggressive dog that is very hard to take care of, which isn't the case. In my lifetime, my family has adopted over 10 animals and have fostered multiple animals too.  My Experience Creating a Blog:      It took me awhile to get started on my blog. After looking over the three choices, I decided to go with blogger to create my first blog. I had no ides how to use it so I looked up a few videos on YouTube to help me out. I enjoyed using blogger as it was easy to use once I was able to figure out and I really enjoy all of the theme choices I am able...
