Job Opportunity Made Sara and Jeffery meet!

Earlier this week I have created the resume that was a 3 stars assignment based on this job opportunity here is the link for it.

This is a 4 stars assignment that Mariam Khan and Sahar Alkhelaifi collaborate to do the assignment in both of the characters Jeffery Davidson ā€œMariamā€™s characterā€ and Sara Sparkle ā€œSaharā€™s character.ā€

Sara has been checking new job offers in NYC to leave LA and be close to her family when she ran into a Craigslist post by Jeffery for new entertainment job offering at the bar he works at.

Sara immediately emailed Jeffery to apply and attached her resume. They have been communicating through emails to fill out the applications. Jeffery was very professional and responsive. Sara will be interviewed this coming week for her interview with Jeffery. Sara believes this is a life-changing event that could actually make her forget about the trouble she got in LA and the few days that she spent in Jail for a crime she didnā€™t actually commit. Jeffery gave her a hope that she might get the job and live with her family.

 

Here are the e-mails we have been sending and for better view click on here!

Letā€™s Talk About Sharing Credit

Considering this week is all about collaborative work, I wanted to introduce the idea of sharing credit to DS106. We’re a community of creators, so why not make an assignment to demonstrate that?

I was hanging out in the ITCC doing my work, like normal, when who stumbled by but the one and only Emily Bostaph. We worked together already for our radio show, so were already acquainted. We started talking about the requirements for the week, and decided that a little epistolary-esque assignment would suit this week well. My character, Donnie Rawlen is a writer, and Emily’s character, Cecilia Alva is a recently widowed affluent woman. What follows is the result of our characters interacting via e-mail, using our already established personas and backstories, as well as our required fake e-mail addresses:

I made this assignment worth 4 stars because it’s not just a 15-minute quickie. Ā And we had a lot of fun doing it, so I’d encourage others to try it out.

We had a pretty easy format we wanted to follow, which we pretty much threw out the window–originally, we planned to keep our responses to one another short. It was fun writing, really. It just took a bit of time for scheduling reasons. Writing a letter within a letter combined with the internal monologue seemed really effective in communicating the intentions we had for continuing our story as a whole.

There’s really not much process here, unfortunately, but it’s all laid out in the emails, so I don’t think further explanation is necessary. We took our time responding to one another, crafting our characters’ demeanor and motives concurrently.

Sharing Credit
4 Stars

For this assignment you had to present a collaborative story via email among two people. To complete this assignment I worked alongside with Sahar and we send emails back and from our characters emails that we created for class this. My character Jeff had just posted an job ad online looking for entertainment at the bar he worked at. His manager put him up for this task of finding entertainment for the bar to test and see if Jeff is managerial material and Jeff did not want to disappoint him. Sahar’s character Sara Sparkle is a dancer from LA.Sara has been checking new job offers in NYC to leave LA and be close to her family when she ran into a Craigslist post by Jeffery for new entertainment job offering at the bar he works at. Sara immediately emailed Jeffery to apply and attached her resume. They have been communicating through emails to fill out the applications. Jeffery was very professional and responsive. Sara will be interviewed this coming week for her interview with Jeffery. Sara believes this is a life-changing event that could actually make her forget about the trouble she got in LA and the few days that she spent in Jail for a crime she didn’t actually commit. Jeffery gave her a hope that she might get the job and live with her family.

For Jeffrey hiring Sara eased up his load at work so he was very happy that he received a respond so quickly to his craigslist ad.He also is glad that is manager is pleased with Sara as entertainment in their bar. After reviewing Sara’s resume he was extremely pleased with the work experience she has and believes she will make a great addition to his team.
