Hi everyone!

It's been great to look have a look at everyone's blogs, and I've been able to learn a lot of new information that I would have previously never even thought about! It's clear a lot of work has been put into this assignment, and it's great to be studying with such an enthusiastic group!

Here are three blogs that caught my eye!

Melody’s blog is extremely detailed and contains a lot of great information. It’s definitely clear that she has put a lot of effort into this assignment, and it pays off. I really enjoyed learning more about her company and reading her KCQ’s.

I really enjoyed reading Evelyn’s blog. Not only is the presentation great (super colourful!) but she has added some really interesting and well-written information, as well as providing some really useful links. Great work!

Sarah has been assigned an airline company, like me, so it was interesting to read her blog. She has done a great job of creating posts that are informative and stimulating to read. She didn't try to bombard the reader with information, which I also liked.
