WHAT
YOU HAVE TO HAND IN
Task
1 First thing is to get organized!
Please buy a smart A4 lever arch folder and
put your name on it professionally.
Please buy the section dividers with labels
so the tasks can be easily identified.
Each week you will add each task to this
folder as well as notes taken in the lectures and workshops and discussions. Please
type these up and any relevant links and contacts that you may need to help
with your career plan/ path.
A simple record complied week-by-week… charting
progress and development with typed notes images and links to show your chosen
career path. This should be clearly and intelligently labeled and even better
designed with a considered business like/artistic aesthetic.Each week bring in
the previous weeks task as there will be feedback and discussion on these to
help you improve.
Task
2 A Career Route Map: containing...
Explore with visual references what sort of
designer/ designer maker or perhaps design related situation you might see
yourself becoming involved with as a career. Using the grid format discussed
and illustrated in the session with Sue Ginsburgh, place yourself in relation
to the X and Y variables. As a more personal extension of this overview, then
develop a SWOT analysis – see the sheet with this entry on
Web Learn-and also the example from the
perspective of a junior designer.
Task
3
Generate research material to record
examples of as many of the following (and other...) areas that emerge as
possible... If you were considering a number of possible avenues, (for example
designing and teaching) it would perhaps be useful to deal with this activity
for each area.
· What sort of relevant jobs/ opportunities
are actually advertised-with specific examples...
· Where? On the web? Magazines? Journals?
Newspapers? Word of mouth? Other locations?
· What (acceptable) geographical locations?
· What detailed job descriptions? Entry
requirements? Experience required?
· Applications forms required?
· Salary? Remuneration? Holidays? Perks?
· If to be self-employed who are your
direct and specific competitors likely to be?
· How will you get your work? Make
contacts? Connect with end-users?

letter that you would use for a job application please state who this would be
sent to and outline the kind of company you would send this to. Please keep a

considerably detailed
Task
