In this course, you have been working using skills that would give you insight into job market for  Marketing graduates.  You have also been asked to present yourself as a marketing professional in a number of ways. 

1. As a dynamic personality delivering ideas and communicating to a target audience about your projects.
2. As a creative individual, writing about and illustrating your ideas in a variety of media.
3. As a team member, working to assess your skills and those of your team and to use those skills wisely in serving your collective objectives concerning the profile project.

Compelling work has been and is being done by you. I urge you to save your work and regarding your eportfolio, to publish it to your own service provider. Package it in such a way that it can serve you well to move towards your career goals. Your work on the learn server has a limited time in existence as your college work comes to a close and you graduate. Don't let this valuable work get lost in the hurly burly of moving on. 

Working with your eportfolio on the web means that your work can constantly be updated and refined. I hope you will continue to evolve with the changing times and the emerging technology. Flexibility and a willingness to be open to innovation can be an asset. 

Computers are great tools as is the World Wide Web. You may find it helpful to become more adventurous in this digital age in which you find yourselves.  It is a fast moving train and no matter at what station you get on, you can have an thrilling ride.
