Weekly Report 3
9/3/18-9/918
This week in ISM, the resume was introduced, thus starting the process of finding professionals to contact later on. This involved my slightly indecisive personality to shine by spending thirty minutes looking for the most suitable resume template and another thirty minutes creating color palettes to decide which two would best fit the theme of Forensic Psychiatry. The two colors that were finally decided upon were a forest green color and a violet color. These colors were chosen, because they were some of the first to come to mind when I was thinking of Forensic Psychiatry. Also, in a more symbolic sense, the green and violet were chosen to come across as determined yet reliable (respectively).
In addition to that, the second research assessment consisted most of the ISM work times this week. Through this, I was able to look more into Forensic Psychiatry regarding ethics. This spurred the realization that there is a long list of controversies in the field that are addressed in different ways depending on each case. Therefore, the goal for this week is to look more into case-based reports on the evaluation process done by a Forensic Psychiatrist.
In regards to the goals from last week, creating a calendar to follow was definitely helpful in getting work done, so that is definitely going to be something to continue. On the other hand, there was not much progress on building my LinkedIn page. It was, however, a tool I often times came back to for finding possible mentors in the area. Another goal for this week is to finish the rough draft of my resume and use it to gain more of an idea of what to include on LinkedIn. Overall, this week in ISM was more productive than the last, and I hope that this streak remains in the weeks that follow.
