3.  Visual presentation is a creative and attractive way of
catching the attention of employers and clients.
 Visual presentation will catch the eye of the public more
than something written in black and white. While writing
is a necessary to possess, one must know how to use design
and present their work using color and creativity to make
their writing and organizational skills stand out.
 When resumes and advertising materials are creatively
designed, those resumes will stand out in the usual
stack of black and white resumes.
 If you really want to stand out to an employer for a job
or an internship, adding some form of marketing
material or cover letter exhibiting your writing skills, is
a sure way to move up the ladder.

4.  The answer is No! Any college major can design and advertise
a form of visual presentation that can attract a potential
employer or client.
 Additionally, criminal justice majors, psychology, sociology,
public administration, and many other majors can make a
visual portfolio that is attractive to clients or employers.
 What about taking 20 years of job experience, and putting
that into a visual presentation. This is no problem. While you
may not realize it, you use some of the same skills on one job
as you use on the other. While you may not have worked as a
designer or photographer, using social media, Word, or
PowerPoint can be powerful advertising tools that are great
to showcase your skills.

5.  The Night Before Halloween was a name for an episode of
Dateline on ID. In this episode, Detective Jim Wallace uses his
past skill in architectural design to solve a crime. Part of being a
detective is seeing what others cannot see, and using his design
skill, he was able to see a vital piece of evidence in a photograph
that no one else did.
 This is how an individual can use their skills in the most unlikely
of times.
 One of the best ways to build a job specific resume is looking at
the job that you are applying for, and make a visual and print
resume based on your current skills that can help you at that job.
You never know how your past skills and experience can help you
either get a position you are applying for, or for a current
position, which could possibly get you a promotion.

6.  Linked In
 Facebook
 Slideshare
 Behance
 Visual CV
 Academia.edu
 Microsoft Word, PowerPoint & Adobe InDesign
 Your professional website
 Vistaprint-used for printing business cards, advertising
materials, presentation folders, and magnets
 These are just some of the visual marketing tools that exist.
However, two powerful interactive marketing tools is
having a blog, and the old-fashioned human interaction.

7.  Networking is everything! You can have all the skills and in
the world, and without advertising them creatively,
standing out of the crowd will be hard to do.
 Attending conferences, seminars, subscribing to trade
magazines, and joining professional associations are some
of the best way to not only learn about your industry, but is
a great way to use your advertising materials to either make
new business connections, clients, or a job offer.
 Additionally, connecting with people in same industry on
social media sites, such as Linked In, will help enhance
your career. In my experience, I have connected with law
enforcement professionals that I have interviewed when
working on research papers.

8.  The possibilities are endless, however, you are in
control. Just think about Detective Wallace. The skills
that he gained in the past, helped in his career, and
those two skills would usually never be connected, or
discussed in the same setting.
 As I look at my background, I got creative and used
those design and photography skills to enhance my
projects as a Public Administration major. Just think
about the skills that you already possess, and how you
can apply those in your major or career.
