I think I like how personal I made it. It felt very natural for me to write because I just imagined myself sitting in my future workplace and being interviewed by my future boss. I like the way that it flows and connects with the assignments we did in class. It was nice to be able to reflect on the work that we did and to see how much work was actually done over all these weeks. Being able to connect to a real life scenario was also a great help. Sharing the work I did and then translating it over to sharing it with a potential job candidate was fun.

I think I am most proud of my ability to push through the challenging parts. This class was very challenging for me and pushing through on the assignments or parts of a project that I did not understand that well is huge for me. It took a lot of brain power and drive to commit myself to the complexity of this class. So overall, learning how to solidify my brainstorming process and revision process were huge for me and then becoming more confident in how I deliver my writing.

I feel a little bit nervous that I did not fully complete this essay to expectations. After reading some other peer posts, I feel maybe I overlooked some key points. Anyway, I am hopeful my point was made. I chose to write it in the perspective of an interviewee. So I was answering the questions as if I was at a job interview. I think writing in this perspective helped to keep the essay on track and flow really well. I tried not to go off on any 'tangents' which is difficult for me. Keeping it straight forward and fully answering the questions being asked helped with the overall strength of the essay.

I guess I just have a question on how to development my writing skills? Are there programs I should be doing? Or is just personal writing?

I learned all about strategy, of course. I really used the tips and tricks section to highlight the content strategy used for my specific creators I was writing for. Writing for the specific content creators made it easy to identify the strategy that was being used and to hone in on the tips and tricks.

To pay attention to patterns! Using the same font, language, hash-tags and titles can be important for engagement with your audience.

This is probably different for everyone but I felt the biggest take away for me personally, is the connection to the audience. I know you cannot actually strategize connection. It has to be genuine. I just feel that the reason most of the audience is following is specifically for that content creator and who they are, how they talk, the way they smile or dress or laugh. So I highlighted a bit on genuine connection in my HTWG.
