Week 3 EOC

This class started out as a challenge for me because I am just beginning to learn how to use social networking and how important it can be. Working with computers and fixing problems isn’t s something that I am experienced with. Managing multiple sites is an issue I am finally able to figure out. I am starting to see social networking as an opportunity because it allows me to get make connections with people that I wouldn’t meet under regular circumstances. I also see the lectures as an opportunity because one of my mail goals is to own my own clothing line which deals with copyright, and trademark law. In my field of work I will be able to use any bit of information I learn and apply it to everyday use. Another challenge I have been working on is my learning techniques. I am a person that is used to hand on learning, but for this class I am learning to get accustomed to learning from lectures. I see now that learning from lectures allows me to learn much more information that I normally would. One aspect of this class that I am enjoying is learning to stay focused while working on multiple projects at the same time. Another thing that I consider an opportunity is to learn techniques from students from different fields. One thing that will benefit me is learning law in a field other than my own because I might come across a situation in my industry where I might need to know another law. In the fashion industry a person is expected to work with different industry professionals, so I must be able to understand the policies of another person’s field. Contracts and negotiations is a great opportunity for me to grow as a Professional.

EOC Week 2


Most people have a certain way that they see lawyers and it usually isn’t very good. I have my own interesting opinion about lawyers. As individuals I would categorize them as parasites because in order for them to be successful is to make money out of the pain and suffering of others. As professionals, lawyers are smart in the way they can manipulate how someone see’s a law. Any good lawyers may act humble but deep down they must feel like they can defeat any opponent even if their stand might be immoral. In any situation a great lawyer can get you what you want out of any situation. You  hate them when you see them but you love them when you need them.

Voice

My name is Eduardo Valencia and I have been a part of the fashion industry since 2007. I have gained an immense amount of knowledge and understanding of the fashion world. I started out like most people in the fashion industry as a part time sales associate. I began as a sales associate at a mid level shoe store hoping to gain experience that will allow me to move up in the company. In the beginning I began learning the basics such as stock room maintenance, product knowledge, and proper costumer serve. I have found that keeping track of merchandise is essential for the job and to keep good customer serve. Always being up to date on the latest trends and knowing the product is important when trying to maintain a reputation as an individual and an organization. I have made myself an expert in customer serves because repeat costumers are vital to maintain a successful business. It didn’t take me long to get promoted to a more fashion trendy branch of the company. I have experience working with many cultures and influential people from all over the world.
