Part 1: Email etiquette is important for your career because it allows you to communicate with potential clients and job opportunities in the most respectful and professional way. You need to take your time with emails related to college and career opportunities because what you say to these individuals can dictate whether or not you get into a school or program or even get the job that you want to get.

Part 2: What Groups did you join? What marketing job titles stood out to you? Based on the skills required/needed for those marketing positions, which area(s) do you think you’re the strongest? Which area(s) would you like to develop?

I joined 3 groups that pertained to growing social media skills, one that focused more on the fashion merchandising side of digital marketing, and then a general digital marketing group. The jobs that stood out to me the most were Digital Media Assistants that help assist big companies such as Amazon with their advertising on social media. I think that I am fairly strong in content creation but definitely need to strengthen my knowledge when it comes to strategically planning and posting content and the business analytics behind social media marketing.

• What did you learn about yourself through the assessments (StrengthsFinder and etc.)?
  • I learned that I am a lot better at communication than I thought, and that I have grown more in different strengths than the last time that i took this assessment.
• Which strengths/results describes you best?
  • The results that describe me best is that I am an arranger, I am a very organized person and I like things to be precise, but I am also very flexible and willing to accommodate others to the best of my ability.
• What strengths and skills do you think will be most important in achieving your career goals?
  • I think that the skills that will be the most helpful is that I am a strong problem solver and do whatever is best for the situation, and I excel at bringing others together to solve a task.

Hi!

My name is Abby Abrams, I’m 20 years old and I’m majoring in Digital Marketing. I am very passionate about social media and want to become a social media marketer. I’m also passionate about mental health too, and have my very own blog here that talks about my mental health journey.

I am a full time retail manager at Ann Taylor LOFT, and I’ve worked retail for 4 years. I love clothes and to market for my jobs! I also run my mom’s small business’ social media, thanks to Professor B’s class last semester! I’m currently interning for a nonprofit organization that combats child abuse in KC and helping them run their social media! I have 2 cats, love to read outside of work and school, and look forward to learning more about marketing in general. I want to learn more about how to incorporate marketing skills into basic tasks such as promoting my favorite products online, in a professional manner.

Hi everyone!

My name is Abby Abrams, I am a sophomore at JCCC and I’m majoring in digital marketing. I’m currently a preschool teacher, but I am about to start my journey as an assistant helping with different marketing projects. I’m taking this course because my future aspirations involve working in the social media world, and I am interested in learning more about social media than just scrolling and liking photos. I hope to learn different posting strategies, more about personal branding, and understanding more about social media marketing as a whole.
