For this week (till end of Feb), post all your comments, resources, thoughts, websites, etc. here. If you think it might be useful or helpful to your classmates, post it!

* All posts here will count towards your final page count.

Here, I will post links, as I find them, that should help you in the organization and creation of your writer’s resume. As you have already begun to notice, there is no “one” way to write a resume; and resumes can vary greatly depending on your experience, your goals, and to whom you plan to submit them to. Therefore, this blog is to be used as A resource . . . and in combination with our discussions in class.

Creating a Writer’s Resume by Moira Allen: This is an informative site that walks you through some of the challenges in preparing a writer’s resume.

Often, the best way to determine how to best put your resume together is by looking at other writers’ resumes. Here, I will post some that I think may be useful to you (if you find any others, please respond with the url):

Hey folks, the portfolio center has the following event coming up, if any of you are interested:

Wednesday, March 28th from 3:00 PM-6:00 PM.

at the Portfolio Center

Conscious Choice is “an ‘enlightened’ urban lifestyle magazine focusing on equal parts Environment, Progressive Politics, Healthy & Natural Living, and Spirituality.” National Editorial Director Charles Show and Production Manager (and alum) James Faber will visit to meet and discuss writing clips with students who have samples relevant to the field of magazine writing. Samples don’t have to fit within the Conscious Choice content parameters, but of course, stories that thematically match the editorial feel of the magazine are encouraged. This session is open to juniors, seniors, graduate students and December 2006 graduates.

Call 312-344-7280 to reserve an appointment.

This forum is for my Spring, 2007 Writer’s Portfolio class. A category will be assigned for each week for journal posting and/or assignments, as necessary.

You are responsible for WRITING AT LEAST ONE SUBSTANTIAL JOURNAL REFLECTION onto this forum EACH WEEK, in response to your readings, portfolio work, assigned projects, events, etc.

Categories are also posted to this site for your reference, to help with your readings, class discussions, and general reflection, as you go through this course. You are encouraged to utilize this resource, as well as add to it and/or make suggestions for new resources as you come across them. * Adding additional resources will be looked upon favorably, when the time comes to turn in final grades, and could be particularly useful for those who may need an extra boost at the end of the semester (hint, hint). HOWEVER, adding websites and resources WILL NOT replace your required weekly journal responses.

If you are experiencing problems with this online discussion board, please inform me immediately.
