Professional Networking

I attended the Exercise Science Club meeting in November and it was a great way to self-promote and network myself. The meeting was held in the basement of the chapel and was very beneficial. A few upper class members began talking about some of the expectations of being in the exercise science club and that it would be a great way to get our names out there. They went on to talk about a few events we would attend to meet some potential advisors for us while we pursue a career in exercise science. The meeting ended by them asking if we had any questions. I asked about the benefits of being in the club. They said its a great way to network yourself and to get your name out there to professionals in that field.

I know the importance of networking yourself from the many discussions we've had about it in our business class. I know that it is very important to get your name out there early so that people that are higher up know about you and how you can potentially help their work place. Attending events where there are professionals is very important and should be taken very seriously. That is a time to promote yourself and show people what you are capable of as well as that you are dedicated to a certain profession. Its very important to make a good first impression to these people because in the future they could end up being your boss.

The article I chose was about the company Airbus picking its new Chief Executive. I found this very relatable to the point I am trying to display because in the article the new CEO talks about how he networked himself very early and made sure he got his name out there. He also talked about the importance of finding credible internships and how attending professional events is a great way to find some. He encourages anyone who wants to be a CEO or any other time of manager in a company to network themselves early and to make sure to do everything they can to promote themselves.

Guest Speaker Reflection - Michelle Price

The guest speaker that I decided to do my guest reflection on is Michelle Price. She attended Ohio University from 1985-1989 for her Bachelors of Fine arts and then went to Ohio University from 1990-1992 to get her MFA in design. She then went back to Ohio University in 2013 to get her Doctorate in Philosophy. Throughout her career she designed a lot of products, but her most famous was the curly bow. She got a patent on the product so no-one would be be able to copy her idea. Throughout her presentation she talked about product design and the importance of patents. She talked about her experience with multiple product designs and how each idea much be very original and can't be similar to any other products that are currently on the market. Products design is talked about in the textbook through all sorts examples. The textbooks talks about how several different products came to be and how the designers went about creating them. The textbook also talks about patents and how they...

Finding a Role Model

This past week at Chatham I talked to a business graduate student about their experiences here at Chatham, as well as asked for some advice. We talked for awhile about how they started out at Chatham and how they thought it was a great place to come to especially if you're pursuing a career in business. He is a business major who was very involved around campus. He was a part of the entrepreneur club and also part of the golf club in his spare time. We then talked about some good studying strategies and he had some really good advice. He told me to space out my studying for classes throughout the week instead of cramming everything in the night before. This was very helpful information for me because I am used to cramming everything in the night before. Another tip he had for me was to always stay ahead in the class and try to read the chapters before the class started. I was very thankful for this advice and am going to be sure to utilize it during my time here at Chatham. The ...
