Last Wednesday, my friends and I went to Jackson Mall where Cobalt Connect office there. We were learning many new things related how to find and create resumes for jobs.


The left man's name is Jeremy Freiburger, the Cheif Connector and Cultural Strategist, and the right woman's name is Steph Seagram, the Community Connections Lead. She presentation related what is Cobalt Connects and its website: http://cobaltconnects.ca

The Cabalt Connects company is helping to Graphic Design, Photographic, Artist, Animator, and other workers who are looking for and finding their jobs. They join group of media, projects, and helping to create their resumes.

Both Jeremy and Steph were explaining us what their job and graphic designers' expect jobs. He said most important things and skills are:

Jeremy said we need to learn what our strength and weak. Therefore, most Graphic Designers need to work together with partner or group.

In fact, the Graphic Designers are usually found their job by through social with people, workshop, meeting clients (known as elevator speak), interview/research graphic design workers' experience, and set up network (such as your website portfolio, facebook, and twitter).

When consumer called you for meeting, whether it accepts to hire you or not, you must make a "Thank you" greeting card send it. She/he will remember you in the future for longer than sending them in e-mail.

Some thing you need to do:
- Dont forget to respect consumer's time and waiting for meeting.
- Dont forget to research what company product/ service is, and what they expect.
- Dont forget to ask consumer some good questions because you try to show consumer impressed you.
- Dont involve religion or political issues. Keep simple and neutral.
- Be carefully your facebook, twitter and website portfolio, because a employer looked up at your resume and checked your facebook and other social media network.

Finally, When You want to make an appointment with Cobalt Connects (Co3) service, make sure you could bring questions, and portfolio (not require) to show service. Surely, She/he will help you what you need/want to find job or create a resume.







In James St.

There street were very old build and many artists, photography, media, graphic design and others were moved to this area of James St. to establish business. I went to visit many stores and learned new things. I can't believe they were telling story of how to successful business profit, history and product/service. Every summer, there was seven thousands people went to visit this area for an event.





I went to the Harbour Restaurant with my friends. I ordered a seafood, and other friends ordered beef, chicken, cheese, & others. I ate it was not bad, however I prefer to eat any SPICY food. These is part of old traditional and home-made food.
