Scrapblog and Career Goals

Scrapblog
I chose to learn more about Scrapblog. It looked interesting and creative. I like how it says it is a good tool to share images with families and friends. For people who like to scrapbook it is a good way to share their creative abilities and family pictures with relatives who live far away. It has a lot of design elements and really lets the user create whatever they want. It is a good tool for practicing layout design. So in all, it is useful to me to share and edit scrapbooks, but also to use my artistic and creative abilities and see how different layouts look and colors and other design elements, which will help me in web design and layout design.

What I Want to Be When I Grow Up
When I graduate I am not exactly sure what I want to do. I hope to get a job in a field that I enjoy. I am going to apply for various jobs, even if they are not related to my major. In today’s economy and job industry, I don’t really think I will be too picky. I would love to work with people, because if I had to sit behind a computer all day I would go crazy. Ideally, I would love to work in a job where I can help people.

My strengths are that I can be a good leader as well as good follower. I can manage various roles in a group setting. I can take initiative if something needs to be done that is not getting done. I am also very good at speaking with people and making them feel comfortable in different settings. I am prompt and courteous. As far as programs, I have used many text analysis programs, Adobe InDesign, Framemaker, and Photoshop, Quark, Robohelp, and the Microsoft Office Suite.

My weaknesses are that I tend to take on a lot. If someone asks me to do something, it is often hard for me to say that I am too busy. I like to help out, and perhaps too much. My concerns about my skills are that I am not extremely passionate about one thing. I do not know what I want to do; there is not one career that I can say I really want to pursue, so that is my biggest concern.
