Practice: Networking Events & Organizations

The purpose of this assignment is to get me more acclimated with my respected industry. This conference will give me the insight to promote and execute good social marketing practices. This conference is also beneficial to me for the simple fact that it is attended by world wide leaders in the social media industry. This is an invaluable opportunity to further expand my professional network! I also was very pleased to find "Social Media Association". I found it interesting that there is a way for the company to fund my membership. The mission of this association is to connect forward thinking people in the social media industry who want to connect and create a network of reliable work relationships.

Project: A Tailored Resumé

Daryl Coffman Resume

Position Apply For. "Events Coordinator for The Dillon House"

Job Scan Results

Re-Scan Results

After scanning my resume initially I took notice to the need of using more keywords. I did so under a section I titled "Attributes". This took my percentage from the lower 20s to 30%. While I was pleased I increased my percentage it is not remotely where it would need to be. I tried to use a very simple design resume as I noticed in the lynda.com tutorial that the instructor discouraged using crazy graphics for the background page. Hopefully throughout the month I will improve on this resume.

My Media Story Script

Below is a link to my Media Story Script document. I really enjoyed thinking about the message I wanted to convey and picturing what video and images I would be using!
