Summertime

Summertime is my favorite part of the year. There are many reasons why I love the summertime. Although this does not sound intelligent, I love the fact that in summer I do not have to do school work. There is an island off the coast of North Carolina called Bald Head Island where I spend my summers.
There is nothing more wonderful than waking up and seeing God's creation at its best. The beauty of the sunrise and the sunsets each day make me joyful. Every summer I work at a poolside restuarant. I serve food and beverages. I love to see families together eating, swimming, and having a good time together.

week 6

I did not even know what cover letters were until I read these articles. I learned that a cover letter goes on top of a job application. Also, I learned that perspective businesses are not going to even look at the cover letter unless you are in their top few perspective employers. I will use the information on these websites to write my cover letter.

week 4 Second life Job interviews

I do not think that interviews on second life are a good idea. I think that seeing people face to face is very important for job interviews to take place. How they dress, interact with people, and how personable they are. Even phone conversations are better than meeting in second life. A positive aspect could be that it would be more affordable for business to not have to fly people out to interview them face to face. Another positive is that someone would fill more relaxed and be able to communicate more effectively because they can think better. Although there are some positive, I feel like it is critical that job interviews take place in person.

week 3....where I will be in ten years

After I graduate from Clemson, I want to get my masters in early intervention. I would love to work for a developemental center like CDC in Greenville as an early interventionists. I am extremely passionate about giving children with special needs the support they need. Although I want to work with the children, I plan on working with the parents as well. I want to ensure that each member of the family gets the support that they need. This would mean, holding support groups for siblings and parents, or setting the parents up with other parents who have a child that is struggling the same way developementally. My goal is to make sure that the parents never feel alone in raising this amazing child that God has given them.
I hope that I am married with three or four kids. I would love to own a pop-belly pig and a monkey. I plan to have a rescue shelter in the back of my house were I would house dogs that were without a home. I feel sorry for my husband!

Week 2

I am amazed daily at the technology we are surrounded by. My dad owns his own architectural firm. As a successful sixty year old business man he struggles keeping up with the technology he is presented with. My brother is also an architect. It is much easier for him to keep up with the technology and learn new concepts. Even the difference in the way they type amazes me. This could be one of the main reasons businesses are replacing young (technologically savvy) men for the older men. Technology will continue to change and become more advanced as time goes on, thus creating jobs that will continue to change.
