After Graduation ...

It has been awhile since I have posted on this blog. My final project required a lot of my time. My final project was an Online Ordering System for a comic book store. We used ASP.NET, C#, and MySQL. The team was also working on a Point of Sale system so we divided the work among the four of us. I did the back end logic for the Website and another guy did the Look and feel.

The hardest part of this project was implementing PayPal. The owner wanted PayPal as the means of payment. I had to do a lot of reading on the PayPal site and research to find the right solution for our site. Trouble shooting was a little difficult also. In the end, a customer could place an order and receive a receipt of the order from the store plus PayPal.

Now I'm looking for a job. I'm trying not to look for any job but a job that will align with my values, strengths and skills. The University of Waterloo has a Self-Assessment guide that is available to anyone. I have been going through it and I know myself better because of this assessment. I also joined a Job Finding Club that is being offered through Seneca. I hope to improve on my interview skills and learn techniques for tapping into the hidden job market.

It was a little hard to get back into groove after Kaitlyn was born still in January but I feel that I am back at 100%. My wife is still working through the process and has decided to look for work also. She has her own blog where she is blogging about her experience.
