Ready to Impress

For one of my assignments this week I decided to do the assignment, Character Resume, that was submitted by Nicky Memita.

The assignment is to, “Using either Microsoft Word, creating your own webpage, or using a website like LinkedIn, create a “fake” resume for a fictional person or character of your choice. Add detailed descriptions and make the resume relevant to the character. Resume must include a profile, work history, education, and skills. Locations, job positions, and companies can be made up! Use your creativity!” This assignment is worth 3 points.

I don’t need a resume to impress someone, but it definitely helps ;)

I created my resume on a Word Document then saved it as a PDF and took a screenshot and saved that as a JPEG. Once I saved everything, I uploaded the resume to flickr.

The Case of Walter Walters

Storify It (2 stars)

This is a Storify story of The Steadfast Sleuths missing persons case. It will be added to our portfolio on our website of cases we have worked on together. In order to create this article for our portfolio I used my Twitter account to create a Storify account. The process of creating a Storify story is not too difficult and the website helps you along the way. I searched in the tab for forms of media involving The Steadfast Sleuths and inserted tweets, Flickr pictures and YouTube videos related to this case. Then, I ordered the tweets, pictures and videos into a logical order and then wrote in my own narration of how they each were connected. I had to download a Storify plugin in order to embed this into this post and then I was finished. If you are interested in seeking out our services for one of your mysteries I recommend you view this story and watch the video, because it will give you an impression of how we work as an agency on your case.

Resume

I felt that everyone should be able to see my credentials so I decided to upload my updated resume. I created this in Microsoft Word and used a template I had found online as a reference. I added my contact info, my skills (though I did limit it to just a few since apparently some aren’t appropriate), and my past work experience. You will notice that I have left out my schooling. I am independently successful as a High School drop out. For this reason I feel that school is unnecessary to mention. Here is my resume. I really had to go back and look up where I’d been. Time really gets away from you.

Pinning Destinations

I created a Pinterest board for House of Noir Getaways as well this week. I know how the ladies like the Pinterest now a days. Hell, even I pin every now and again. I dedicated this board to travel destinations that would be a good place to disappear without a trace. I searched all of the destinations below through the “travel” category.

The destinations are mostly luxury, for that’s my specialty. I have pinned ones that I am specifically interested in ranging from the Northern Lights in Finland to underwater resorts. All of the destinations I have looked at are outside of the U.S. and are either extremely secluded or busy cities in order to secure maximum secrecy in your disappearance. Here’s a look at what I’ve been looking at:

Veronica’s Pintrest

2 stars

pin

Being that I love fashion, hair, and all things New York I have created a pintrest! Four different boards to organize my interests. Fashion for those lovely dresses and styles. Hair for those gorgeous victory curls. Shoes… well lets face it every women needs pumps. And New York just to add some of the excitement and landscape of the big city. If you are interested in any of these please follow me, and feel free to share any pins you think I would love!

This assignment was on the easier side. Since Veronica already had a email address I just created her an account. Then I created several boards for her: Fashion, Hair, Shoes, and New York. To find the pins I typed in “1940” into the search and went from there organizing into the different boards. To get more specific pins I used “1940 [name of board]”.

Back to the Work Force

I’ve decided to open my own business! Folks around these parts can be so untrustworthy. I bought a record deal with Legitimate Company Not A Scam over six months ago and no dice! Where’s my record? Gone with the wind. 

First, I had to draft my own resume. This was easy enough, using a free service. The server is currently down, unfortunately. I just had to pick a design and put all of my skills in! I’m very talented, I hope you read it.

I then set up a website for Stirrup Trouble and began sifting through the resumes that came in. I decided to hire Donnie Rawlen and Delilah Valentine because they were the only ones who applied most qualified. In order to make myself seem more accessible, I created a pinterest board so that they could get to know me a little bit better.

I will primarily be using the agency website for my worldly communications. There are important matters that I must attend to. But fear not, lovelies- I’ll still check in here to let you know what I’m doing.

Love always,

JBrown’s Pinterest

This assignment was fun and easy. The assignment called You’re A Pinteresting Character (2 points), was to build a Pinterest page of at least 20 pins for a character of mine. I really enjoyed to creating John Brown’s Pinterest board. It was my first time using it so I had fun time of learning it and activate the board.

When I first got into Pinterest website, I had to register for it in order to start. So I put John Brown’s Gmail, that I created few weeks ago, and put informations about him, such as name, age and gender. And then next step was choosing at least five followers that things that are I interest about. I chose desserts, gluten free, beards, sandwiches, Men’s suit, Luxury cars, and Men’s Appeals, the things that John would interest.

After that, I created a board to choose at least 20 pins that are related to John and what would John likes.

Agencies to Watch Out For

For this assignment I had to use the tool “Storify” to assemble text and elements from social media. I used pictures form other people’s websites to create this post. This is Headline Crime’s first report, it shows some of the upcoming agencies and the type of thing we will be reporting on. I’m sure there will be more to come from these, and many more agencies, we will be keeping a close eye on them.
