Weekly Report #3 (9/22)

This week in ISM I have complete a rough draft of my résumé (1.5hr), made a phone script (.5hr), and done my second research assessment (1.5hr). In class this week, we have mainly been practicing our interview and phone calls skills. On Wednesday, we dressed up for mock interviews and critiqued each other’s résumés to make them better. For me, I think I need to work on speaking more clearly so my interviewer can understand me better, and I also need to work on elaborating more on what I say. Through my research assessment on Lasik eye surgery, I was able to become better informed about the latest technology in eye care, which will hopefully give me something to talk about when I begin conducting research interviews. I would consider this week a success as I was able to better my interview skills and submitted all assignments on time. Next week, I plan on making phone calls to those on my contact list so I can schedule research interviews with them. As well, I will update my voice mail to make it more professional. I will also introduce myself to Mr. Warstler and 4 other assistant principals so I can be better prepared for the upcoming business symposium. Lastly, I will set up my portfolio in class.
