CMM students also have their Lipdub!

Last week my class tried something new : a Libdub. See on Charles' Bezard Blog "As our english course with Bob Spaulding is nearly finished, we have decided to make a final video to conclude this great experience. And as I did for the J-E of the Celsa, I have filmed the CMM students doing a Lipdub, on the USA-AFRICA artists’ “we are the world” famous song”." Thank to his talent we had a funny result. :-) Have a look.

Mediastorm


I just discovered on Oreilly blog this video sharing site Mediastorm with for once a real editorial aspect. The video are professionnal qualities, smarts and touch various subjects. There is traditionnal video and also audio-picture wich is a new and beautiful creative activity.
Take 10min and have a look on mediastorm.org

The Internet in professionnal life


In my job, the Internet will certainly be THE major tool of communication. More and more people use it for mailing, for research, and now also to call. As it's almost free and the online documentation is every day more complete that the one before, it's not gonna change. Especially for people working in communication as I do. Celsa.fr
So I like it and I will have to learn how to take the most of opportunities from the web.

I see one problem anyway : some studies have proved that an abusive utilisation of emails is counter-productive. People have a trend to send email for insignificants purpose, even in job's context. And the people who receive it have to spend a lot of time to read it all, make some classification and respond.
So I will not forget to talk directly to people, sometimes it’s more efficient than e-communication... Internet is powerfull, but traditionnal meeting is not dead, maybe e-meeting and e-conference is the future.

My online video curriculum vitae



As announced int the video here is my Linkedin CV

The use of e-communication in finding and doing a job

Last year to find an internship I spend hours on the Internet.
*First step: having model of CV on the Internet to improve my own. That was delicate…
*Second step: to look for vacant intern situation. There are hundreds of specialized web sites. My favourite one was profil-culture.com, I also check web sites of a lot of media (Canal + , TF1, Lemonde.fr, MK2…)
* Third step: Sending dozens of application by email, each of it with an adapted motivation letter for the job and firm.
* Fourth step: Make web research to prepare each interview.

This year I will have the same process. The Internet is my main tool both for documentation on firm, an communication with recruiter.
Maybe I could make more research on the market, because I’m looking for a little start-up or something like that, in London or Australia. So I will have to find this little firm…

Reading and correction test

Correct the text below, paying special attention to words or phrases that are mistakes commonly made in translating from French to English. Cross out the mistakes and write in the correct English above the word or words.

Currently, I work in a company that has 65 salaries. It is located at Paris at the 15th district in the street called Rue Maubert. Its reason is to commercialize children’s softwares.

It receives a subvention from the state to hire young interns. That is how I received my position which is called commercial. In the beginning, my job title was responsible for marketing, but I changed my job.

We sell a range of products with the brand Youngsoft. We have many expenses associated with marketing. The advertising in the subway is one of the most expensive. Our PR department also has a very large budget. We realize our own advertising with our redaction staff, and we do our own edition of users’ manuals.

Our quarterly results for this year have been all very positive. Our market is very interesting right now, and that is why we earn funds.

We want to commercialize our products in Tahiti because we think islander customers would be interested in buying them.

In resume, because of our positive deontology and interesting market niche, we will have a rosy future.
