Your task is to study your field, and figure out what you need to do in order to get to where you want to be.
The goal is to create a portfolio that sets you up to move forwards in your career. In this assignment you will define what your final portfolio content will be, ready to create it in term 2.
Create a written report that answers all of the following questions, in order, in detail. You need to include a bibliography which lists all of your research. Wikipedia will not be considered a valid source so you will need to reference other sources or you will fail by default.
1) What are your career goals – where do you want to be? Be as specific as possible – identify people/record labels/companies/brands/venues that you want to work with.
2) Why have you identified this as your target? Talk about your skills as well as your aspirations.
3) Who are your role models? What did these people do in order to get to their position? Choose at least one leading professional in your field and write a detailed account of their career, including a biography and history as well as their current position. In your opinion, what were the key moments in their ascension? How can you mimic their career path?
4) What steps are you going to take to achieve your goals? Be specific, break it down into all the small steps that will get you to your targets. Justify your decisions based on research, explain in detail why you have identified these actions as being integral to your progress.
5) What will be the content of your Portfolio? What are you going to create? And where/how will it be displayed? Justify your decisions based on what you have learnt in your research.
NB: This assignment is intended to prepare you to create a Career Plan in Term 2.
Title the work ‘Portfolio – Research and Planning’, with the label ‘Unit 9’.
