Free Write-Spring Break

This week's blog topic is a freewrite. I chose to write about my spring break. Well it started by working Friday and Saturday night at my new job at Pixie and Bills. Then Sunday, me and my brother went down to Myrtle Beach. We started off by hanging out with some buddies of my that I haven't seen in what seemed like years. We ended up hanging out with them for a few days. After another friend of mine came up from Charleston for the night, the next night we went down to stay with him. We had a good ole time. I even thought about transfering to C of C for a minute.
We went out every night and I had great time, blew way too much money though. Clemson is a great place but the beach does have its perks. All in all, this spring break was exactly the break I needed from work and school.

Presentations

All of the presentations I saw were good, so it is pretty hard to pick which one was my favorite. I did enjoy the presentation on the scouting combine, as well as the presentation about online gambling. Other than the fact that those are two things that I am interested in, the presentations had good information, in the right format. Also, they were presented well by each student presented each very well. I also liked the way the background didn't work for the poker presentation, and he just continued on with his presentation and did not let the that stop him. Overall the presentations were fun to watch and were a nice change of speed for class.

Mock Interview Reflection

This week's topic is to reflect on the mock interview process. The mock interview process was helpful to me in many ways. I realized that it takes a lot of preparation to be impressive to an employer at an interview. Even though I felt comfortable in this particular situation, I can see how in a real interview it would be quite intimidating. This experience did show me that I needed to practice my answers and be ready for those weird questions that the interviewer might ask. Overall the experience of a mock interview was a good indicator of how much work I need to do before I really start my interview process.
