Hello, my name is Paul Nembhard and I am studying Communication Design. I have one more semester left to get my bachelors degree and to start my career. My goal is to become an Art Director at a major Ad Agency like DDB, or Sagmeister & Walsh or companies like Apple or IBM. My files below are descriptions of my experience, skills and education in this field. I am very excited to have done this because my resume wasn’t organized in a professional manner. Being a writer and an artist, this was very helpful to me because it helped with my creativity.

Aremi Ruiz

Hello everyone, my name is Aremi Ruiz, and I’m currently a law and paralegal studies student in New York City College of Technology. My career objective is to become a successful paralegalĀ in corporate, and intellectual property law. Additionally, I am interested in attending law school after graduation.

In my advanced career writing course, I was asked to create a job application portfolio by finding a job ad and creating various application documents to respond to the job ad. I picked a job ad posted by Tiffany & Co. for a corporate paralegal position; IĀ then individually tailored each documentĀ to squarely fitĀ the expectations of Tiffany & Co. The job application portfolio comprise a job report, job letter, job experience resume, functional resume, mock interview questions, and a mock interview reflection; additionally,Ā I furnished a draft for some documents toĀ demonstrate how I utilized the revision process.Ā Each documentĀ isĀ found attached in the following files:

Project 1, Mock Interview Planning

During class today, you will form into teams of 4 members each (a team of 3 members is permitted depending on the number of students in class today) to plan your mock interviews, which will take place during Monday’s class.

Each member will login to Google Drive. One team member will create a new Document. Then, that team member will click Share and add the Gmail account email addresses for the other team members. After it is shared, the other team members will open the document on their computer so that all team members are looking at the document together.

Begin typing in the document and form it as a memorandum: Title it Memo, add to (Professor Ellis), from (each team member should type his or her name), date (today), and subject (Mock Interview Questions and Rationalization).

Write a brief introduction describing this document (I will talk about this during class).

Talking together and writing together at the same time, find six questions from reading the Job Application chapter and the Monster.com 100 Interview Questions list. Copy-and-paste your questions into a numbered list and give a 2-3 sentence rationalization for each question that looks at both sides of the interview: Explain what that question reveals to the interviewer and why that question might be important to rehearse for the interviewee.

When you are done, each team member should copy-and-paste the memo into a comment on this blog post. Review these questions in preparation for Monday’s mock interviews. These are the questions that you, as a team, will be using. Each team will likely pick slightly different questions and that’s okay.

On Monday, come dressed in business casual for your mock interviews. Part of the interview simulation involves not only how you respond to the questions but how you dress for the part. Interviews are part knowledge, personality, and performance.
