This week we read articles about networking. Which in some
sense I have done, I volunteer occasionally, I try to integrate my school work
by working with libraries. Of course I am doing an internship and plan to do
one, maybe two more if I can get away with it, which is a form of networking and work experience. I
watched one of best PowerPoint presentation I have seen about networking. The overall points of the presentation provided excellent pointers. I liked it so much here is the link: http://www.slideshare.net/ucfaramos/the5-secretsofnetworking
by Angel Ramos, The 5 secrets to networking. I also plan to build a website, re-join
Facebook (not my favorite social media choice), try Twitter, and I will finish building my LinkedIn profile. As well any
other ways I can self-promote myself and my CV and portfolio.
I almost have my literature review completed and I am moving on
to my analysis portion of service-learning which is great, because I am concurrently taking a research class that provides the needed skills to critique the literature and experimental studies. Sadly the National Service Learning
Clearinghouse is shut down due to the federal government shut down. I really
feel bad for any federal employee or agency. I needed that site for the wealth
of data it contains, thank goodness SJSU has awesome databases so I can
bypass this site without too much of a bother.
