Week 5 (MKTG 347) - Tips to Follow When Interviewing for a Job

Now that you know about the millions of job vacancies that occur every month, it is time for you to apply to one and go through the interview process. Interviews can be very intimidating to some people, there are three kinds of interviews that many people do. The first one being interviews that are for fun or practice, where you are talking to people who are passionate about the same things as you. The second is interviews that are for information, where you talk with employees, experts, and information specialists about the industry you are interested in working in. Finally, the third is interviews for jobs, where you speak with employers or the specific person who might hire you.

Now for a few tips that can help you in the interview process! The first tip I would suggest is to prepare for your interview before hand, like do research on the company because companies love when you know more about them and what they do. The next tip is to expect a lot of questions, be prepared to answer questions like, "tell me about yourself?", "what are your major strengths?", "what is your greatest weakness?", and "what accomplishment so far in your life has given you the most satisfaction?". One last tip I have for you is to send a thank you card to the employer, and although most job-hunters ignore this tip, it can make you look a lot better to the employer since you were so willing to take time out of your day to thank them for the opportunity.

Week 11 (MKTG 347) - Social Media Marketing Is Still Underrated

Image
I have talked about the effects and benefits of social media marketing many times through out all my blog posts, but yet it is still an underrated method of marketing. There are several reasons social media marketing is considered underrated to many businesses. The first reason is because many believe it is just a trend and that is all that it is. No one seems to look at the number of users each social media platform has, Facebook has reached more than 1.2 billion users. Another reason is that people place more value on things that cost more, other forms of marketing cost more than social media marketing, so they assume that is where their focus should be. Another reason is that the return on investment (ROI) is hard to measure, so businesses do not want to invest in something where they don't know if social media helped increase/decrease sales or if it even brought more awareness to the brand. One last reason it is underrated is because of the lack of investment companies put in...

Week 11 (MKTG 348 OL) - Exploring SEO Certification

Image
By learning search engine optimization and developing skills needed for it, you can use this to help get a job in that field. A great way to really help you get that job is by using the knowledge and skills you have gained and get a certification in SEO. You can get certificates in Google AdWords and Analytics, also in web-analytics. All this will help make you more skilled in SEO and more qualified to obtain a job in that industry. When thinking about getting a job in this field, look at the main goals of the job. SEO looks at building content, social, search, and analytics. Another great place to get certified for search engine optimization is through HubSpot. On HubSpot the amount of material and tools it offers is top-notch.

I look great on my resume and I am majoring in marketing so it...

To get more information on artificial intelligence I will be offering you some more options on where to gain more knowledge about it. I have only given you a little introduction into AI, but there is still so much more to learn about it. One way you can learn more is through books, I recommend reading Master Algorithm , the book I mentioned in my previous posts. This book is a really good way to get into AI more, but in a good pace, so you are not thrown deep into it. You can take more course on AI, I am sure you can find one near you! This is probably the best way to develop skills on artificial intelligence. AI is definitely not easy, so taking a course is the best option if you think you might struggle understanding it. Coursera is another way to take courses about AI, but you can earn a certificate through this way. They even have a Master's Degree Program in computer science that focuses on data science and other areas. Udacity is the last option I will be telling you about ...
