WBL Workshop #2 Reflection Journal


           The main topic of our 2nd WBL workshop was the importance of resumes and what it should have and shouldn't. The workshop taught us tips which we should apply to our own resumes to further improve them. An example of what we need to make sure our resumes have is that it should be one page in length, easily readable font as well as size, proper grammar. The resume should also include action words to describe you and the things you've done an example is "educated young children" it helps the resume stand out better to the people who receive it.
            During the workshop we even discussed soft and hard skills which we have and which we should put on our resumes in order to let our employers know of our skills. When we had to pick one soft skill and one hard skill I chose collaboration as my soft skill and JavaScript as my hard. The reason I chose collaboration is because I find it easy to work with others and better create projects as we can all work together to complete the task. The reason I chose JS as my hard skill was because I believe I gained a good understanding of JS and I am able to use it proficiently. The workshop in all helped me better earn how to improve my resume to make it better and more appealing to future employers which is really useful.

CS Fair Reflection Journal

Taken from the CS Fair website             Today we the Web Design academy had the opportunity to go to the CS Fair held within the Armory Track. At first before the entire trip even started I was wondering what we might see at this event and I really wasn't prepared for what was actually there. Once we got to the location I was astonished to see how many people actually went and even how many companies, colleges, etc were there at the fair. The place was massive and there was so many things to do, people to talk to and I was dumbfounded in where to start. The first thing I did during the fair was try the different activities they had to offer including playing with lights, driving a robot which was created to complete in a competition and was built in around 30 days which was extremely impressive. After trying the activities I then moved on to the actual fair itself and had the opportunities to talk to companies such as Facebook, Accenture, and eve...
