Myspace Stupidity

People who put "Official (your name) Myspace"
Assuming you are important enough to warrant such a title...
I.E. people may fake profiles of you because you are so awesome,
you do realize that these "fakers" have the same ability.
In fact if I were taking the time to make a fake profile of a celeb
I would probably say "Moron's Official Myspace"
In other words I don't see the point in doing such a thing.
Unless you're trying to make yourself look cool.
But you look stupid.
Yaaaaaaa Digg?
Thanks.
I feel better now
Thats All.
Really Thats All.
Ok.
Later...

Cheating on Resumes???

I have mixed feelings about this subject. The girl in the article successfully climbs the corporate ladder and is an asset to the company. The girl does this in spite of the fact that she does not have a master's degree. Perhaps resumes are a not the most accurate way of measuring ones ability. There are subtle exaggerations that I believe most people put on their resumes. Saying that you have a master's degree is more than an exaggeration, and lying on that level is sure to get you caught as was the case in the article.

Presentations

The presentation which stood out to me the most is "South of the Border Anyone" by Rene Onate.
This is because of the fun way he presented his presentation, and the fact that I was interested in what he had to talk about. I had already planned to go to Mexico for spring break. Listening to his advice should prove very helpful when I travel to "South of the Border."

I clearly remember him saying to only drive in the day because potholes are not visible in the night. The roads in Mexico are not up to par. Rene also advised to stay inside hotels that are walled in. These places will prove to be your safest bet in a dangerous country. I will also be sure to watch out for the cops; I hear they are some of the most honest and ethical people in the world!

Mock Interview

When I first heard that we were having mock interviews, I thought that the experience would be a waste of time. Why should I have to dress up and make a special time to interview for a job that does not exist? My attitude towards the experience changed after it was over. I felt that the interview prepared me for the future interviews that I will have. It sharpened my skills in a variety of ways.

I had to make sure that I arrived at the interview on time. This took planning and I even set my phone alarm to make sure I did not forget. When the questions started I was forced to think of answers quickly. I do not expect that I will ever be an accountant but thinking quickly is an asset at any job. Also many of the questions were not directed towards the job but were personal instead. These types of questions are also general to many careers and now I know the answers to them. Prior to the interview I had not really thought about the personal questions. Overall the experience was more than I expected, and I truly believe that it will help prepare me for future interviews.
