WEEKLY REPORT: 09.24 - 09.28

Monday 09.24

  • In class, Mr. Pirtle randomly called on people to answer questions we discussed in previous class. We discussed specific aspects of an answer and how we can improve them.

  • We also practiced networking with each other. As an ISM II student, I listened in on various conversations and provided feedback on my classmate's body language and responses.

Tuesday 09.25

  • Emailed and followed up some people from last week, but did not have any luck reaching out to them.

  • One of the professionals I scheduled an interview with said she had something that came up on our scheduled date, therefore, I contacted her and figured out a new date to meet.

Wednesday 09.26

  • I worked on my resume, correcting all the feedback I received from my classmates.

  • In class, we continued practicing networking and discussed any questions students had regarding the Business Symposium and what to expect.

Thursday 09.27

  • Read and annotated an article to complete my research assessment over. This article focused on the relationship between finance and consulting. This helped me better understand what I can ask professionals in this field.

Friday 09.21

  • In class, we practiced interviews for the Business Symposium. As an ISM II student, I was the interviewer the entire time. I reflected back on questions I was asked from last year and asked those to the ISM I students I was interviewing. They did a really amazing job and I was really impressed! While asking them, I also reviewed questions that I should be prepared to answer.

  • Completed a team bonding activity that helped us enhance the skills of listening and understanding various solutions to problems.

Reflection:

This week was all dedicated to Business Symposium preparation. It was a great time to review the things I need to prepare in order to be ready. I tried to follow up professionals I called last week but did not have a lot of success doing so. This might have been due to the time I called. I had to stay late many days this week. To fix this, I might try calling during advisories next week and email as many people as I can. I hope to also find many professionals at the Business Symposium who I possibly can ask for an interview.


Action/Goals:

  • Schedule 2 more interviews

  • Gather more contacts that are closer to Frisco

  • Look into the consulting confidentiality issue

  • Send Thank You card to professional
