One of the projects I’ve been working on as of late is my personal identity. I’ve heard quite a few of my classmates say “I don’t know who I am” and have thought the same many times. While I feel like I know myself, I have a hard time explaining it to others, and an even harder time communicating it visually. How can I communicate to potential employers that I’m hardworking, detail oriented, into knitting, love crafts and can be quite fun once you know me, with a brand. I’m sure it’s possible and am getting closer each time I work on it, but I still feel like part of my personality will be missing.
Networking with people in the business and potential employers can be very intimidating, add in the judgment that comes when you hand over your business card and it’s almost too much. My professor strongly suggested that my classmates and I have our business cards ready for Design Thinkers (a design conference in Toronto) and I thought it was a great idea, until I realized he wanted us to hand them out. Hopefully all goes well and it is a successful learning and networking experience.
