          My Introduction             Hey, my name is Jorge Carty Diaz. I'm from Peru, a country located in South America. I am attending to Information Technology High School. I am a 15 year old sophomore that is really passionate about designing. I am assisting to an ATE Web Design Academy in my school. I decided to join this academy because i like designing..... anything...... and i think this is the place where i belong, but this is not the only reason why i picked this academy, my dad is a Graphic Designer and he is basically my inspiration to this ''designing world''.           I feel like this academy will help me in the future like with college credits and if i get a Web Design diploma (which I'm getting for sure) i will be able to get a job doing what i love to do and also, get into college. I have a lot of hobbies like talking and playing with my friends, it can be video-games or a sport. I a...

          The mock interview was a group interview where we got interviewed individually. We had a teacher interviewing us, filling up a checklist and giving us feedback. Most of the people looked scared or nervous about the situation and some were unsure of what to answer. Even though i didn't get a chance to get interviewed, i felt very comfortable and confident about myself.           Our interviewer was a funny person, he asked us the most random questions he found to see how we reacted and how we formulate an answer. I also heard very common questions such as ''Talk about yourself'' or ''What are you strengths and weaknesses?''. I was pretty much prepared for every question since i already have prior experience being interviewed, so i kind of know how to control my nerves.           A lot of people were fidgeting and that was telling me that they lack of experience, some others are shy so it's difficult ...

     In conclusion, these skills don't only help you as a Web Designer, they also help in life. Teamwork is helpful in school, sports and a lot of jobs. As a Web Designer it is helpful because you get to combine people's ideas together and form something that might have a stronger meaning. Professionalism can be used in a everyday routine, during school, jobs, home, ETC. If you use professionalism in different places, people will look at you in a different way, more of a positive way. Critical Thinking and Problem Solving is something really important in real life and as a Web Designer. This helps you develop better ways to solve a problem and analyze situations. There is always a second choice.      Another skill is Communication , we communicate everyday. I believe that communicating with other is really effective to gain knowledge and many other things. Networking could be very helpful to find jobs, this also can help you find people with your same ...

    A first interview sometimes is scary because since is a first time, it could be a little challenging to know what to expect. Schools teach you the very basics of professionalism and some people don't realize them until later on in their lives. The first video I watched was about a lady getting interviewed but you can clearly see that she doesn't have any knowledge about an interview and clothing codes. At the very start I was able to see how she dressed up, she was wearing a hat for the whole interview. When the employer asked her questions, she wasn't sure what he was talking about and made some unusual answers to those questions. The video itself was a little weird because I felt that the girl applied to a job that she didn't even know what it was about and obviously she wasn't prepared.      On the other hand, on the second video I was able to see a lady that was dressed up professionally and I thought that this video was going to be more of an usual or ...

     What is Networking? Well, Networking is a way of interacting with other people to exchange information and develop contacts, especially to further one's career. As a right now, I'm networking with my friends, which is a way someone can start networking. How do i know that these are the right people to network with? I believe these are the right people because we all have a common goal that we want to achieve.

     Communication is something we use in an everyday routine. Communicating ideas is very important but we have to make sure we say them clearly and not assuming people know what we are talking about. Either written or spoken, we have to tell our ideas clearly. I believe we have to be very specific in both ways; written, spoken. For example, if you are going to share an idea, make sure to add how you would apply it and how much that will affect a project, discussion, argument, ETC.
