  • List 10 businesses with a print or graphic design background
  • List 10 businesses with a digital media focus. Web, adverts, film and media

Make sure to have business name, type of business, contact details incl email and web address.

Task 2:

Develop a short questionnaire. Have a minimum of 10 questions. Your questions should be able to be answered on the phone or by e-mail.

The aim of your questionnaire is to

  • find out what businesses in target industries are looking for in employees.

You can use the questions below to get you started.

What soft skills are you looking for in a new employee?
In your expert opinion is your industry growing? Please describe (the sectors)!
I am [state your age] [gender] [currently studying a Cert IV in PGA at Kangan Institute]. Would I be able to find employment with you?
What advise do you have for me?

Due to me being sick I would like you to work individually through Google’s SEO Starter Guide.

Google Search Engine Optimisation Starter Guide

Please work through pages 10 – 13 on your own. We will discuss anything in class that you did not understand. The XML file might be new to you.

On paper: try to create a directory or folder structure for your own website. Allow for a similar amount of folders as in the example on page 10. Do not just copy their names, but create folders that apply to a site of your own (use the examples of what we worked on in class or use something like Juanita’s School of Spanish.

Look up the links in SEO Starter Guide.
