WEEKLY REPORT 10.01 - 10.04

Monday 10.01

  • Business Symposium is two days away, therefore, I worked on finalizing my resume and practicing the interview and networking questions.

Tuesday 10.02

  • Since today was the day before Business Symposium, in class, we focused on interviews. As an ISM II student I was an interviewer for the entire time. This gave me the opportunity to review possible questions I could be asked and also questions I could ask if I was asked to be an interviewer.

  • I printed out my resume on resume paper in preparation for Business Symposium. I also made sure my portfolio had two pens and was neat and clean.

Wednesday 10.03: Business Symposium

  • Today was a big day: Business Symposium. We had the opportunity to network with professionals before the event began. I spoke with two professionals who were both amazing to speak to. I learned so much just from a two to three minute conversation. I started off in the lecture hall where I simply answered questions from ISM I students. I learned a lot of new things from students across the district. I had the opportunity to even meet some people for Heritage that I had not met personally. After that, I had one interview. I had a very sweet lady who was a physician. She gave a lot of advice about college which was very helpful. While interviewing, I could see the improvement I had from last year. I was not nervous and I was confidently answering all the questions. From there we went to go listen to a speaker who also gave us advice for the future. Finally, we ended in a networking session with other ISM students around the district. It was incredibly interesting to see what other people had already experienced within their topics. Overall, I had a great time and it was an amazing experience.

Thursday 10.04:

  • In class, we spoke about how the Business Symposium and completed a survey on it. Additionally, we reviewed what the new marking period would look like and expectations on the upcoming presentations.

Friday 10.05:

  • I had a thank you card I needed to write, therefore, I wrote that during my day off. I have college applications due in the coming month, so I spent most of my weekend focused on that.

Reflection:

  • The Business Symposium this year was a great time for me to see the drastic change I have been through from last year. I was more confident and felt a lot better about communicating with the professionals that came. However, I wish the ISM II students had the opportunity to do two interviews just so we can continue practicing. Now that business symposium is done, I really need to spend quality time on ISM, my topic, and scheduling interviews. My next milestone is Winter Showcase and I want to be prepared and have some experience to talk about.

Action/Goals:

  • Schedule 2 interviews

  • Gather more contacts that are closer to Frisco

  • Look into the consulting confidentiality issue

  • Prepare for next presentation
