WEEK 7 EOC: LinkedIn
LinkedIn
LinkedIn is an online social network for business professionals. It's different than other social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook because it's designed specifically for professional networking -- finding a job, discovering sales leads, connecting with potential business partners -- rather than simply making friends or sharing media like photos, videos and music.
Online social networking has exploded in recent years, largely due to the massive popularity of MySpace and Facebook.
To start using LinkedIn you need to register and create a profile page. During registration, you'll be asked for some basic personal information: name,e-mail address, location, current employer and where you are in college. Then you'll be prompted to fill out more detailed information on your profile page.
Connections imply that you know the person well or that they're a trusted business contact. LinkedIn warns against adding complete strangers to your network, or accepting an invitation from someone you don't have a trusted relationship with.
LinkedIn is different than other social networking sites in that it's designed solely for the purpose of professional networking. As we said earlier, a LinkedIn profile page is essentially an online resume.

Week 5 EOC : Seduction of the online surfer
I really believe my work can sell itself, BUT how? How if they're not even interested on my first page, I also think a slideshow will definitely work to get people on my website, I'm really glad I know how to use the software and I can edit and manipulate pictures and gratefully make them look good.
A slideshow of some of my work, for example screenshots of the music videos I've done, also pictures of the gear and equipment that I've used in the past related to my industry, as well as shots were you can see me working backstage as well as others.
Before anything happens, first I need to test my website...and by that I mean showing it to people to see if they'd be interested on contacting me or keeping me for future references.
Second, create an amazing blog, go for the " this is how I made it" type of deal. you'll feel the support from everyone once you start seeing all these visitors.
Third, you can also no matter how weird it sounds, give your best work for free!, and by that I mean, sell yourself with the best of what you have, I say free because it's online, so upload those high resolution pictures, songs from your latest work and others.
"The online world is an attention economy. Attention is finite, and therefore scarce. So if you want people to pay attention to you, you need to earn it."

Being prepared for an interview is your first foot on the door inside the job, you want to know their location , ethics, how they deal with business, dress code and as much as information you can gather before the interview.
First day on the job can go wrong obviously, like it was mentioned you're in the hot seat, everyone will look at you and see your reactions to the working environment. Just be always listening and taking care of your duties.

Week 1 EOC : Narrative, Voice and Elevator Introduction
NARRATIVE
I still remember the first time I manipulated sound, what do I mean by that?, I was 13 and not many softwares available for the use of editing or even layering. I didn't expect, never thought that someday I would make the decision of following that path for the rest of my life. I'm dedicating my life to sound design, the fact that I can create and use my creative skills in this production field is what keeps bringing me to my computer starting new projects. Motion pictures are my goal , while videogames will definitely full-fill my needs. Do what you love, even though sometimes you might not know what you DO love. In this industry is just hard to make a decision, so many branches, so many things to do and you obviously want to do everything. Go back in your thoughts and look for what you always do when you have spear time, that's how I came up with my decision.Sound Design is the process of specifying, acquiring, manipulating or generating audio elements. It is employed in a variety of disciplines including filmaking, television production, theathre, sound production,live performance, sound art, post-production, and video game software development. Sound design most commonly involves the manipulation of previously composed or recorded audio, such as sound effects and dialogue. In some instances it may also involve the composition or manipulation of audio to create a desired effect or mood. A sound designer is one who practices the art of sound design.
