Website

My website will be used as a tool to promote myself to future employers. I believe it is a fair assumption that most applicants my age that are applying for public relation jobs do not have a website. Therefore, this website could potentially give me a competitive advantage when I graduate from college and search for full time jobs. I will include the link to my website on my updated online resume, as well as email a working link to the employer.
Every project from this semester has either a direct or indirect impact to my website. First off, was the wikiHow page. Though the wikiHow page isn't directly on my website, it was my first introduction to code. Of course I am no master of code by any means, but the wikiHow project began to familiarize code to me. This helped during the coding of my website, because now I had a certain degree of familiarity with coding which I used on the website.
Then, following that was the twitter project, there are direct links to my professional twitter on my website. This twitter project is directly impacting my website by adding more content to my site. This helps me show employers that I am well versed in running a professional twitter account, including their own company twitter.
Next, was the group and self video, though they are not directly on the site, I now have basic video editing skills that can encourage a future employer to hire me.
I have also added a linkedIn and blogger(this one) link on my website. They are in compliment with my twitter link. Though the linkedIn was not created in this class, it is being used to help with this classes' website project. Plus, linkedIn now seems like a necessity for anyone looking for a post-college job. So it made a lot of practical sense to include it into my website. Paired with it is also my blogger, which includes blogs such as this one and all the other blogs I have written this semester for my class. Also, being a public relation major, means I have to be a good writer. So this blog can help show off my writing skills, as well as show that I am capable of updating a blog especially including a company blog.
Overall, I enjoyed the experience of making the website. I did run into some troubles with the coding, but problems with the website were easily solved with the help of my professor. Otherwise, creating the website to my specific tastes allowed me a sense of freedom I would to experience again. My favorite aspect of the website was including all of my professional writing pieces. I have worked hard on these pieces and was pleased to include them on my website for people to see.
All in all, I am very glad I took this class and very appreciative of what professor Pabico taught me. I leaned many online skills I will take with me for the rest of my life, including process of creating this website.
