The time has come to say good-bye to the class. The past 15 weeks have gone by fairly quickly. The five of us in class did a very nice job with communication skills, resume writing and many other job related tasks. Open communication was effective throughout the program which helped keep the class flowing.
As you begin this class, be ready to work every week on yourself. Look deep into your self to see what you are expecting in your new career and be prepared to jump in with both feet. There will be presentations to complete along with a community workshop, blog postings weekly and an opportunity to post resumes online.
The leanings from this class will help all employees and employers find each other through the computer mediums.If you are looking for the ultimate job, this will help get what you are looking for.

Helping Create Business Information
There was a great opportunity to help a business get their information into the community. The initial contact was made and ideas for a brochure began to form. There was great anticipation to make this the best informational medium put together for the business.
After weeks of organizing, outlining, word or phrase changing, things came to a halt. The correspondence began to slow down. Additional information was needed and not presented, phone calls were not returned, needed pictures were not offered. This turned to be a total disaster.
As a class, we did out best to control the situation, sent out what was prepared only to get a relatively new brochure from the President of the business. Understanding for being too busy to convey additional information was beginning to take its toll on all of us, especially for Don Fruge. He was the contact person and was beginning to feel as though he had pushed too hard to make this perfect.
There is not much to do when all parties of a project is not willing to put 100% in. When one person starts to put things on hold, for any reason, the project will become harder to maintain. Patience but pushiness needs to be a virtue while doing a project of this nature. Learning tools from this experience is to communicate from the beginning the intentions of the project, who will be responsible for what information and have an agreement of 100% participation ( from the client also). If one of these happens to fall, the project will not be completed on time or exactly what the client is looking for.
