"Didn't you get the memo?" That's just a line from Batman Begins that I like. Sorta related.

Just beat Gonzaga! But that's not really related at all.

This week featured a proposal (not for getting married) for our future Business Articles. Mine was all about Nintendo's marketing strategy. Should be interesting. In class, we learned some rules of interviews, resumes, letters of recommendations, memos, networking, etc. Who'da thunk that folk in college get business cards? All the info bout' the interview would seemed a bit more pertinent for me a week, when I was interviewed for my Resident Assistant position. But, got it anyway, so, woohoo! I learned a little more about how to emphasize your strengths on your resume. Put what's most impressive first. If someone in an interview asks me about my greatness weakness, I prolly tell them that sometimes I'm a perfectionist, stressin' about every detail. They'll like that.

This blog post seems very unorganized. This paragraph is just to make some space. Yep.

I thought it was really funny that Professor Middleton once had "rocking out in the car" in her resume. Chill. I wonder if I could get away with something like that. Just depends on the employer, I reckon. Gotta' know your audience and tailor your resume accordingly.

I sure hope this class gets me a job somehow.

I think the biggest take away for me was to just do a bit more planning and preparation for interviews. Know your answers for questions before they ask them. They might say, "What's your story?" or "What would you bring to our company" and you gotta' have a good answer in a jiffy. Gotta' be quick on the draw. Like a sheriff. Share if you agree! Ha, just kidding.

Also, I'll start doin' cover letters. Maybe a style cramper but professional it is. If I wanna' be a pro, I gotta' look like a pro.

Be a pro, not a Joe.
A champ, not a chump.
A winner, not a beginner.
The best, not the rest.

Okay, I'll give it a rest.

Good knight,
