Professional Practise

This is the class that I am writing this blog for, so I can't really link many assignments for the class. This first assignment for the class was to write job letters and resumes. I found this to be an interesting part of the course; as we are getting to the end of our degree and most of the students will be moving out into the work force, knowledge of applying and finding work can be invaluable. As I have already found a position in a library local to my home I did not find this to be as important to me as it might be for some. I also had already completed a course, "Careers that work" which had already covered the basics of resume and letter writing as well as practise concerning the interview process.
What I found most interesting about this assignment was the future career plan. It got me thinking about where I am heading and what I want to do after university. I had not thought about this is great length before, this project forced me to map out my plans and to really think about where I wanted to be in 5 years.

The next was to set up a presentation done by a speaker from outside of the RMIT school. This was relitivly easy as we had a member in our group who had a contact that would be able to speak on a relivant topic "copy right". We organised a room and refreashments for the speaker/guests and it all ran very smoothly.

The last assignment is this blog. I have found  it to be an interesting and sometimes tedious task to go back over classes that I never wanted to think about again (Relational Database Design and Development) and classes that I enjoyed and got a lot out of (Industry Application Project). During this experience I have found that I have changed a lot since I first started this program in 2007. I have grown, learnt and experienceed much during this program and this assignment has helped me to remember and given me a chance to reflect.
