OKRs I worked on this week:
Prepare for and do an internship
Confidently talk about my primary interests, my top skills, and my future goals
Grow my professional network
“Prepare for and do an internship”
In the past week, I sent out approximately 20 applications, and I hoped to hear back from some of them. I also scheduled a meeting with the coach from the career development, the goal was to do the troubleshooting for my resume as well as my portfolio. As it turned out that there are not too many things I need to fix. In short, for my resume, I need to change some terminologies in my experience to make it align with the job description, for my portfolio, I need to have a consistent brand and make the navigation clearer.
“Confidently talk about my primary interests, my top skills, and my future goals”
In one of my literature classes call “Writing for Designers”, we are currently practicing this OKR. For this week, I got to learn interview tips and practice interview questions with my peers in that class. The TA in that class was a writing coach and they gave a lot of great advice. I am hoping to work with them in the future to update my portfolio further.
“Grow my professional network”
Despite updating my LinkedIn feeds daily, I got a chance to connect with a senior product designer from Zendesk. My goal is to put together a self-intro speech and a case study presentation before Friday just to ensure the quality of the meeting. I also scheduled two mentors on the ADP list and I hope to learn more about how professionals see my portfolio and resume.
