Week 2 is officially over of Senior year at DigiPen. I am constantly reminded of my favorite quote regarding the perception of time. I first heard this quote when I was in the Marines. It goes something like this, "hours seem like days, days seem like months, months seem like years. But in the end the years seem like days." It feels like last week that I was starting my first year here.
I was able to figure out the data position that I was mentioning in my week one post. The position is called Product Manager. Of Course!! I have heard of a product manager but had never actually met anyone who was in that position. I was able to have a very nice conversation with DigiPen Adjunct Instructor Ben Frazier about his experience as a product manager. After our conversation, I was even more fired up to pursue a career in product management.
I decided to explore the position and the skills needed with my GAM-4XX project. I would build tools into our game that would collect data around different elements in the game. This data would be used to help the other members on my team to make the game better. I would also present the data during our presentations in a way that would hopefully mimic that of an industry presentation.
On related topics, I have created a new master resume that I can easily clip out the areas that I don't want to put in specific resumes for applications. My next step is to update my website. I am blocked because I don't really know how best to covey my skill set on my website. Especially to people who don't spend a lot of time on it.
Finally, I will be creating videos around my skill set. I have created videos around the hobby of RC Warship Combat but have never created a video around myself. We will see how it goes.
