Reading through my first blog post, there wasn’t a lot that I wanted to learn. I was really oriented toward the storytelling aspect of journalism and marketing, and this class definitely helped! Though it didn’t necessarily provide me with specific knowledge, it introduced me to many different avenues of editing and working.
A lot of the “soft skills” that were offered are already on my tool belt! Getting to know people is a favorite past-time of mine, and the interpersonal tips we were given were a bit menial. However, it gave me a greater appreciation for the work that surrounds me all the time!
Communication will be key no matter what career field I choose to go into. In education, communicating with a student is integral to building relationships and conveying information. In marketing, communication will be essential for making connections with clients and gain their trust and business. All of the assignments we did will probably help me at least once or twice!
My favorite assignment to work on was the audio profile. It gave me the chance to get the interaction with people that I wanted and was a blast to work on! Plus, it helped me get to know someone I knew even better! Anything that brings me closer to people is always a plus and working on that assignment was a blast!
The most challenging assignment was the journalistic web story. Working on it was a great time but I would’ve rather just done two other audio profiles because there was so much more to the interviews than I could fit in the writing portion!
If I could go back in time to the first blog post, I would give myself the advice of not worrying about the end product so much and just enjoy working and interacting with everyone!
