Getting the Job! – Student Blog Project

//Blog Entry/5 Comments 10%// Dates for student submissions: TBD
 * Grading Breakdown:**


 * Scoop on the Avenue**: [|www.bizavenuescoop.wordpress.com].

You will be responsible to post at least one entry on this student blog. You will also be responsible for posting at least 5 thoughtful comments on five different classmates’ postings. In order to make sure that the postings are spread throughout the semester, you will sign up for a date. Your posting will be due on that date.

//What should I write about?// The student blog is a place where you can talk about experiences in your personal job search. Possibilities include: Resources you found interesting and why you found them helpful; an experience you had and what you learned from it that could help your classmates; or a question you had and the answers you found to that question.

//How to post?// For your main posting, you will send it to me and I will post it. You will be graded on the quality of your entry, including originality (do NOT copy from another source), usefulness, and effort. If appropriate, you can choose to match the entry with a picture or photo.

//What's the difference between a comment and a post?// "Yes, and in addition, from my experience this and this..." is a good start to a blog comment. A comment does not have to be formal. You don't have to write extensively on the comments--just some thoughts. Off the top of my head, I might write: //"I see what you're saying, but I don't really have time to be specific for every posting. If I send out 20 resumes in one day, how am I supposed to be that specific?" (Even though comments don't have to contain questions.)//

Or something along those lines. It's totally ok to post comments on both blogs based on your experiences. It could be very helpful for other students, especially if you've been on interviews and understand the process.

A comment can be submitted directly to the blog. A posting must be sent to me to post.
