Most of you have probably already heard of CIS, but it is new to me. CIS stands for Career Information System. This tool allows students to pretty much line of their life and career. There are several links and information available in this tool. The user starts by creating a portfolio and customizing it to their likings. From there, the user will spend endless hours adding information to their portfolio that they will be able to keep for a lifetime.
I started off in the scholarships section. I was specifically looking for any additional scholarships that I could apply for to help pay for this program. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any because most scholarships are for undergraduate programs. I then began to research schools that offer programs in education technology and was able to learn a little more about Full Sail University and the Education Media Design and Technology program.
The next thing I began working on was my resume. There isn't really anything fancy about the resumes, but the program will help you recall all of your work history, duties and services so you can always have them available when you are in need of completing a resume. I know that when I go to create a new resume, I often forget many of the jobs and duties that I completed that future employers would appreciate. With this tool, the user puts that information in their profile and then continues to build it and they don't have to try to recall things years and years down the road.
I can go on and on about how wonderful this tool is, but I only attended an hour session. I will definitely be going back for the full day training in the fall.
