TOP 3: Goodbye

For some reason,  this song has began to play in my head: “na na na na na na na na hey hey hey goodbye” this may be my last post as an Intern for the Oklahoman, but hopefully it is not my last blogging experience (As I am in the process of creating a real blog site that I continue the TOP 3 blog. Today I want to reminisce, although I’m not completely finished with my internship.  As we revisit my first TOP 3 goals  I wanted to reach while here at the Oklahoman, lets take a look to see if I actually completed those goals.

1.)  I hope to walk away with 10 new articles for my portfolio.  If everything I completed is published at this moment  ( I know some will be published later this month)  I reached my goal of having 10 articles for my portfolio.  Whether I will use them or not is another blog post for another day….by the way,  I’m hoping to finish at least three more which will bring my total to 13.

2.)  I want to learn a new skill to enhance my marketability as a multimedia journalist. I learned how to use CCI. Does this count for anything? I don’t know I guess that depends upon what news company I will work for.

3.) I want to learn the basics of SEO. (In my defense, everything presented in orientation that one time was too complicated at that moment. Since I’ve mentally prepared myself, it should be easier next time around if I ever get to it. I didn’t quite get to learn more about SEO here at the Oklahoman, but just because I’m leaving it doesn’t mean I have to stop studying. This will be a goal I can look forward to accomplishing.

What’s next for me…Job search…AmeriCorps…non-stop aggressive campaigning for a job (I know it sounds stalkerish, but I want a job in journalism). I hope this blog has been just as entertaining for you as it has been for me.
