The Final Blog

This senior capstone course has been a huge help this semester in setting me up for success in the future. I gained a lot of knowledge on how to interview for jobs, what my resume and portfolio should look like, creating my personal professional brand, gained an amazing mentor, and lastly learned more about myself and what I want to do after I graduate.

I would say one of these things was the most helpful for me but honestly, they were all things I truly needed and am so glad I learned. Having a portfolio was something I knew I needed to have but never got around to it because I didn’t even know where to begin. This class was the push and help I needed to create my web portfolio along with my graphic design capstone. My resume definitely needed some revising and editing and the advice I received from Carol and the class was very helpful in making my resume better for future job searching.

I loved that we were able to come up with our own creative project. This allowed me to be able to create my personal logo for my professional brand. I had a lot of fun doing it and it is something I needed. Lastly, I am so glad Carol was able to help us find the perfect matched mentors for us. My mentor has been such an amazing help to me figuring out where I want to see myself in the near future. Not only that, but she is a great connection to have outside of Creighton. The mentor matching is definitely something I think Carol should keep in this course because I found it very helpful in so many ways.

I can confidently say leaving this class that I feel a lot more prepared for my future in being successful and in getting a job in a career field that I like. I feel that I now have all the tools that I need for after I graduate from Creighton. I am excited to see where my future takes me thanks to everything I gained and learned from this course.
