Introduction

Thank you for choosing Hobsons, and welcome to the tutorial site. We look forward to working with you!

> Your Role

As your school’s contact, you are responsible for gathering the materials for your presentation/profile and providing them to us. Your materials may consist of photos, graphics, audio clips, video clips, and text. We recommend that you pull together a team of people at your school to help you. Choose people who are familiar with your available resources and the message you want to get to your prospective students. Make sure that everyone on your team is aware of the deadlines for submitting your materials and approving your proof. Report any potential problems with these deadlines to your production contact

> Your Hobsons Team

A team of Hobsons staff will work to create the products you have purchased. Here are the team members:

Production Managers/Coordinators—Your production manager/coordinator will be your primary contact at Hobsons as you work on your purchased product(s). They will collect your materials, consult with you on your recruiting message to ensure that you are meeting your recruiting goals, and work to keep everything on schedule. When your products are complete, they will send you proofs and secure your approval. If you have any questions regarding the progress or status of your project, you should call your production team member.

Designers—The designers create your presentation/profile with the materials you submit, working closely with the production team member to make sure they are designing your project according to your specifications.

Editors—The editors proofread your presentation/profile, making grammatical corrections and text suggestions as needed (Hobsons uses The Chicago Manual of Style as its editorial guide). They work closely with the designers and our quality assurance (QA) department to make sure everything is accurate and error free.

Multimedia Developers—The multimedia developers author your CD, DVD, and Web presentations and provide a variety of audio and video services. They are also available to consult with you and your staff on all content-related topics from concept to production.

All of us here at Hobsons are dedicated to helping you succeed in your recruitment goals, and we look forward to working with you to produce the best tools possible for your recruiting efforts.
