Well, it's all coming to an end. My project has been presented, materials have been turned in, it's all wrapping up. I would say a pretty successful end to my college career. Now is the time to kick back and reflect on what I have learned:
Details, nothing is unseen
Each one of my projects (not just in my capstone course) have came down to one thing: detail. I've learned that the quickest way to determine whether is should be satisfied with a project is to ask myself "Is this good enough to put my name on?" "What is a potential employer going to think about this?" "Is there anything else I can do to make this better" These questions are becoming a lot more important to me as I create my portfolio and realizing that employers are indeed going to be seeing these projects.
Document
It is a great idea to keep track of all of you accomplishments, ideas, projects, and anything worth bragging about. These items will come in handy for job interviews, resumes, and portfolios. As I start entering the job world and filling job applications I now realize that employers really like numbers and statistics. Something that can be measured, checked, and compared.
Enjoy Yourself
Love what you do and put your heart into it. You only produce the greatest results when you are having fun and loving what you are doing.
