December 18

So this whole week has been crazy, I’ve had many obstacles this last week, mainly with my laptop. Of course me dropping the laptop was just the start of the problems. Apparently I didn’t close or save my project correctly so when I tried to pull up the file it wasn’t where I left off but in the earlier stages. I eventually caught back up and I’m right back on track. But anyway about today, the main event was the weekly company meeting with Jonathan. WOW! That was the best meeting I’ve had of the three we’ve attended throughout this program.

This group session wasn’t only about the course work we all were going through. Jonathan talked about jobs and how certain profiles and websites could benefit us and how to set those certain profiles up. I didn’t realize how many websites are out there that could help someone get a job. There was also a site that goes by angel.co which in my opinion is like a staffing company which helps you get a job. The big difference is that you don’t necessarily get paid for the work but if the game does get bought then you get a big payday from the hours you worked. Some people may look at it in a negative point of view but I see it as great experience.

Jonathan talked about linked in and I didn’t realize how much it matter to companies and how often they check this site for potential employees. This meeting went a bit longer than the other meetings but honestly I believe it was worth it. Jonathan explained to us how to have a better chance to have exposure to any company we are applying for. I’m already in the process of creating my linked in account. I can’t wait to see the complete product for my linked in account.

The projects group that presented their game today did an amazing job with their presentation. Their game alone gave me so many ideas for my future projects. Then when they started explaining the problems they ran into and how they solved those problems it actually solved some of the problems I have been running into in my course work. They had a variety of solutions to overcome obstacles and it was very helpful. I really earned a lot from this presentation and that knowledge will be incorporated in my business life from now on.
