Caught My Eye

This article, http://www.careerjournal.com/jobhunting/interviewing/20060207-needleman.html, was the one that caught my eye the most. This article was about four tips for acing phone interviews. Most companies do their primary interview on the phone, so this is why it stood out the most for me. The four tips they gave were to minimize distractions, sharpen your verbal skill, prepare in advance and follow up. Although one may think that these four are simple things to do before a phone interview, many people get too nervous to think about the logical things they should do. When I prepare for a phone interview, I am going to make pre-written responses to typical questions I think my employer will ask me. Also, I will go to a quiet place with no distractions.

In 10 Years..

To be honest, I can't believe I will be 30 years old in ten years. It is finally hitting me that I am getting older and soon starting to think about what I really will be doing in the real world. Above anything, I hope to be happy and healthy, even if other things do not go my way. Professionally, I hope have a highly full filing job working with a professional sports team. I hope to do marketing and advertising for any type of sports team. This would be amazing for me because I love the advertising part of the business world and I also love sports. I hope to be happily married to the man of my dreams :) and to have healthy children. I will still be very close to my extended family because that is one of my biggest priorities. I want to work as long as I need to , to be able to save money to travel because that is one of the things I want to do when I am older with a family. To live in Charlotte would be ideal! Although I will no longer be competitively swimming, I hope to be in great shape and go to the gym every day that I can!

Web 2.0!

In my opinion, Web 2.0 is showing the world that technology and the internet is upgrading and getting more technical. I feel like the title is trying to show off how much the web and the internet has advanced over the past few years. In the video clip, they keep talking about “you” and “me”, making it very personal. This is because they are trying to portray that it is “us” that is making these improvements. Technology runs our lives, whether we like it or not. We could not survive a day without a computer or a cell phone! Web 2.0 is brining the world closer one link at a time. If you do not understand all the new technology that is out there, you are missing out because that is what our world revolves around today. Web 2.0 is bringing us closer together!
