Calm Before the Storm
by Hella ~ August 29th, 2004Now that Pre-Term is mostly over and all that’s left is the Learning Team Retreat, I’m taking the time to catch up (and get ahead) on small tasks here and there. I’ve been going through Career Management’s website gathering up tips and documents to help me in the recruiting process. We have to make a submission to the resume book and I want to be sure I’m in well ahead of the deadline. I also plan to have a resume review by a career counselor and probably a few classmates.
I have a 360 feedback assignment to complete before the first day of Leadership class. I solicited feedback from a few coworkers and friends and I’ve got to go through their comments and compile my report. Though it probably won’t be “fun”, it’ll be a good time to think about where I might want to focus improvements in the next two years.
The other night I picked up a book called How Customers Think. I’m interested in taking Customer Behavior during the first semester and this should be a good intruduction to the terms and concepts presented through examples from the marketplace.
I’ve also gotten knee deep in researching electives to take, past course and instructor evaluations, and I’m just starting to work on my auction strategy. I’m anxious to see how the real auction will work out for me the first time.
Well classes start in about a week. I better enjoy this lull while it lasts.
