Blog 8: Research and Working EQ

1.  What is your working EQ?
What skill is most important to success as an advertising manager?

2.  What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format.
There are many key skills that an advertising manager needs to have in order to succeed in the business. Skills vary from creativity, communication, leadership, projection and project management. But the most important that an advertising manager must have to have the possibility to success is communication. Communication is a crucial skill that is needed in order to project your creativity and leadership so others can understand and acknowledge your work. 

3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ? 

The most important source that has helped me define my EQ is a book called "Hey Whipple Squeeze This" by Luke Sullivan. Along with many others internet sources that has helped me provide a variety of articles, helping me learn a lot more of how advertising works.

4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you volunteering, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?
I am volunteering in a machine shop called Brothers Precision. Volunteering and observing what the manger does has helped me learn the right technique to advertise a price of a product. That is planning how to do it and what to do it on?(Flyers, Ads, etc.)

Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Approval


1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
What I specifically plan to do for my 30 hours is volunteering in "Bobby Nava's Advertising" and do a series of contributions to any festivals and upcoming events that they might have. When helping it will at least give me an idea to have an ideal festival with many companies that advertise in it.

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
I will show evidence of my 30 hours by meeting the expectation on an 'Independent Component' log and explaining detail by detail what I specifically did and keeping track of my hours that I did everyday. As well as giving a phone number of the person that I worked with.

3.  And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.
What I will be doing to discover more things about my topic is doing research more into depth and expanding my knowledge of the topic. As well as observing things that my mentor does to expand the meaning of really how the ideal methods of Advertising are performed.
