Professional Signatures

Today we went over an in-class powerpoint on developing your professional signature.
It's important to remember that your signature represents you and you can be judged when someone sees your signatures on a cheque, important document or even your cover letter.

That is why it is important to get into the adult life by developing your own signature.

A signature must be:

1. Unique
2. Repeatable by YOU 
3. Difficult to repeat by others
4. Slightly related to your name (people must be able to see either the first letter of our first name and/or last name

We did an exercise where we sat in a circle, wrote a signature on a page and your classmates wrote one for you.  The resulting paper had 24 different signatures on it, from which you picked one that would help you develop yours!

BE PATIENT!  It takes A LOT of practice to get your signature consistent.  Start by deciding what you want it to be and then sit down and imagine you are giving 100 autographs of your famous signature.  Your fans want it!  Get good at it by practicing!

Myers-Briggs Jung Typology Test

The Myers-Briggs or Jung Typology Test is a personality test that will give you 4 letters to represent your personality type.

Using this test you can determine which careers you might like according to your personality.

Your test results can change over time as you mature and learn more things.  Do not take the results of this test as a absolute.  This is a suggestion of what you are what you can be.

The link below has questions for the test.  Answer honestly to get a better result.  Sometimes it is best going with the first answer that came to mind.  Do not skip any questions.  After you get your result, remember the answer!  Open the link in a new window.

Josh completed the first floor of his house so we ran it on the 3d printer last night.
Here it is in the printer:

It now sits in the acid bath to get rid of the white colored support material.

Good job Josh!  Your house will be first on the plot!
