The first article that caught my attention was the one about extended traveling and then explaining that on a resume. Being a person that loves to travel and having this mabe be may line of work, taking an off an extended amount of time to travel and explaining that is good to know how to do. It is good to know that not stating on your resume that traveling is was why you made a career break. It is ok though to emhasis things that you may have learned or skills aquired while traveling. When you first start off in a job is is hard to make a career break, but in many cases when you are young and unattached this is the prime time to be able to do this. It does not look good on your resume when your first couple years of work you have made a career change, have an extened amount of time with being unemployed, or made a job change. It hard to find an in between factor of what to put on your resume or what not to in this area.

Another article that caught my eye was the article explaining how important it is to have key words in your resume. One of the main ways to do this is to pick words that are in the job description or advertisment and use those on your resume. Many companies have their own jarin or lingo that they use and these words really stand out to them on your resume. For example it stated that if the job description had the word 'bachelor degree' you better put the word 'bachelor degree in your resume somewhere. Having keywords like 'communication skills', 'team work', 'leadership' and 'problem solving' are also words that employers look for someone to have. So stating these qualities would be helpful. This article was very helpful and now I have some motivation to juice up my resume and find me a job in the future!

Interviewing

One of the articles that caught my attention was the one about a persons body language and how you can say to much without even speaking. It made great suggestions on what to do and what not to do in an interview in regards to your body. It said that it is not good to keep constant eye contact with the interviewer because you can come across as the stalker type. I never thought about this. It is good to know that you want to look relaxed and attentive but not be stressed out about not keeping constant eye contact. Not figeting is huge for me. I struggle with this sometimes and remembering not to use to many hand gestures or keep crossing my legs is important. Another article that caught my attention was the one about how to answer the aweful question of 'why did you leave your last job'. This can be a super hard question to answer sometimes and can be really awkward. Above all honesty is most important when answering this question. Really good advice that they gave was being consice. Sometimes it is easy to ramble on about this, but they don't want to hear your life story. Two to three sentences is great and will maybe prevent them from asking further questions.
I thought all of the advice that I read in the articles was very practicle and I am definently going to use this site to read over before the big interview!

my life plus 10

When I imagine my life in ten years that means I will be 31 years old. That is old. I never thought I would ever get to that stage in my life. My early 30's. Life does happen and before you know it I will be Grandma probably.
I hope to be married within the next ten years. After college I hope to live in a foreign country. My major is Travel and Tourism and I would love to expirence my first few years of married life and my first job expirence in a foreign country. I hope to work for a nice hotel or for an event planning company.
I would also like to have, lord willing, a couple of kids. I want to have a big family and by the time im 30 I hope to have started a family. I want to be a stay at home mom.
I want to travel to many places and expirence many cultures within the next ten years. I have been to 11 different countries and hope to at least make that 25.

The video, I thought, gave a real account of how the future of our world and technology should be looked at. Web 2.o is an example of how text is changing from handwriting and cursive to hypertext which allows you to move things around, be creative, use pictures, sounds, videos and other methods of communication to convey messages. Someone getting ready to enter the workforce needs to be ready and educated on the technological way of communication. Our world as we know it is only going to advance and even though some may be partial to old-fashion ways of communication (I think hand written notes, letters etc. are still very important), people need to realize that the internet communication methods are not going to disappear but will only be used more and as an efficient tool.
We are already having to rethink things. I don't know about everything, but in most ways yes. Communication can be more personal through the internet like skype, picture messaging, video posted on You Tube and other ways. Since we have such personal contact though, people will have to take more precautions to be careful and protect their privacy. Web 2.o gave an accurate description of what the future of technology has come to and how we need to be prepared to face it.
