Week 8 (MKTG 347) - Self-Inventory Part I

Once traditional job-hunting methods have failed and you are still in need of a job self-inventory is another good method to help you achieve your goal of finding the job for you. An inventory of who your are can help you in your job-hunting process because it is good to know who you are, what you like, and what you are good at. By evaluating yourself and all the aspects that make you who you are it can help narrow down jobs that are more in your favor.

Some reasons why doing a self-inventory works is because by doing this you learn to describe yourself in many different, thus helping you approach different job-markets. Another reason this method helps is because you don't have to wait on companies to say they have a vacancy you can go out and find one that matches you and approach them yourself. One last reason this is helpful is because unemployment is frustrating and an interruption in people's lives, this interruption can help lead you to different opportunities, as well as, allowing you to assess your life.

In order to do a self-inventory one must mentally prepare themselves by removing past job positions from your mind. Then write on a piece of paper significant things about yourself after that put some sort of picture on paper too that will encourage you to find a fit for you. Then gather a list of things you personally want in a job and to conclude the self-inventory method is to prioritize what aspects in a job are most important to you, like salary or location, whatever it may be.

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...

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.

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 ...
