Artifacts for Portfolio’s and This Week

            If you have been following this blog or if you have read my previous entry about, making an introduction video and portfolio’s you may recall me stating that my portfolio is a little bare. This was due to a lack of artifacts to fill my portfolio; an artifact is a digital or physical document that you can place in your portfolio. A good example of an artifact is the introduction video that the Work Based Learning class made before starting the development of the portfolio. I would link the video to this blog entry, unfortunately though my partner never finished editing the video. Although I do not have my introduction video, there are other types of artifacts that can be used to develop your portfolio. Personally I believe a well written resume is essential to a great portfolio. I believe that the resume give the employer a quick water-downed version of your portfolio. After your resume should be document representing and reinforcing what you claim to be in your resume.

            This week we have been going over professionalism and the proper way to act in a professional environment. Frist we went over how to be responsible in a professional or business area and we reviewed the proper method to go along if someone forgot their credit card at the cash register, or if you over hear explicit conduct/content going on between two employees and it’s not wanted by one of the two employees. For example if a customer has recently purchase something at your cash register line and they forgot it, what would you do? Well we established the morale dilemma on one hand you could take the card and use it for yourself, however the social responsible thing to do is try to let the person know before they leave or if it has been to long turn it in to the office’s lost and found section of the story.
