My focuses this week in ISM were to get my portfolio organized, finish my résumé, and set up more interviews. My binder has to have an established color theme, for which I chose blue and green. These are the same colors for my website, and I had a 2-inch blue binder to use for it. Looking at how many pages we have left to fill in the portfolio reminded me of all of the work I will accomplish by the end of the year. Even though it appears to be a daunting task now, doing the work step by step will hopefully make it a little less stressful. I also got peer feedback on my résumé in order to make it reflect my accomplishments more. I also fixed the formatting on my references to make them more emphasized on the back of my résumé. The main thing I changed was listing out my skills as a bullet-pointed list.
Additionally, I needed to set up more information interviews so I could get closer to reaching the minimum of five. I was able to set up an interview with a colleague of Mr. Haltom, who I interviewed first. My interview with Ms. Howell is scheduled for Monday. I am also in the works of setting up my third interview, which should happen sometime this week.
