Feb 3, 2010 Internships, Work Study Leave a comment
Posted by amanda

I signed up for the internship/resume workshop which I didn’t realize would be so intricate. First from about 9-12 we are having resume building and such working on how to get a great start on our resumes so that they will look sophisticated and professional. Then off to lunch on our own from 12-1 and from 1-3 we have mock interviewing. Which I hope to tell you all more about after the fact but we will have judges who will report on our interviews (we have to dress up) and we are videotaped- if I can I could try to get a copy and post. I am just a tad nervous but I know it is only for the better and not really for real so I can chillout a bit and really work on myself and my standing so that when the time comes I can make the job. Really this is such a great program IUE is doing and if you want more information don’t hesitate to ask- the workshop is from 9-12 and the mock interviews are from 1-3 on February 26th, 2010. Register here, you need to be an IU student or faculty member to attend so be sure to have your username and password ready because after the link they will ask you for it. I hope to see you there!!

Thanks for reading!

So I think it is going to be very hard to get my goals accomplished if I keep avoiding accomplishing them don’t you? I went way over my budget last month and it is not okay no matter how much I want to tell myself that. Sure I will be okay but I am not [...]

Jeepers! Did you see the parking lot today? I didn’t check out the other lots but TR (Raper) Hall (formerly Middlefork) was packed to the max! Even the visitors spaces were full! It was amazing to see how many people are on campus today. Why am I here? I have all online classes, I should [...]

I am pumped to be starting back on my online classes and getting back into the fighting ring. I am already stressing about how I can manage four online classes but it won’t be that bad as long as I am organized. Although most online classes are very organized atleast I can say this for [...]

Hey everyone! Hope you did fantastically on your final exams for the Fall semester (I am just praying I did well on either of mine!) I must be honest… I haven’t been doing well at all and I try not to point the finger but at myself. I know I should have worked harder but [...]

So I have been saving up for a Wii- if I buy it on Amazon.com, which offer FREE super saver shipping on all products purchased from Amazon themselves… not individual sellers which I wouldn’t buy anything but my books from anyway- and they do not tax their items because they are out of state. I [...]
