10:10 You’re Hired
Scenario
You are a senior manager for a small web / media design firm. As you know, small businesses are often short on time and resources. As a small firm, you are really connected with the community and finding the right replacement is key to your team and brand.
A valuable full time Junior Animator gave you three weeks notice. She determined that she is interested in taking a break, spreading her wings and exploring the US on her motorcycle. Her job responsibilities included:
- Conceptualize, develop, and animate ideas for a variety of projects, including everything from logo animations to informative videos.
- Storyboard projects for both video and animation.
- Create a variety of motion graphics projects with different subjects and visuals for many different clients.
- Help out on editing video projects when needed.
- Participate in creative meetings with other departments to help improve projects.
- Handle multiple projects with competing deadlines.
Questions to consider
- What are the qualities you are looking for?
- What are some skill sets that you would like to see demonstrated?
- How can you be sure the next person you hire will fit into your business?
- (What would you like to see in the application?)
Resumes Submitted for this application (which one is the best fit, why)
For This Thursday – find a copy of your resume. We are going to begin the process of reworking your resumes for professional use. No student should leave the tech center without a quality resume. If you cannot find or don’t have one don’t despair. If you do have a resume, email it to me as a PDF.

How will your group divide up the work?
- Who is your Scrum Master?
- Who will create the Trello Board?
- What are all of the To-Do items?
- Is watching the final edit a to-do item?- I think so!
Being an effective group member means you have to participate. The best way to participate is to share what you like to work on and what you are good at (or comfortable with).
