Career Service Write-Up 2

Hey guys for my second career service write-up, I engaged in a webinar, that teaches how to successfully go through an interview. Interestingly enough, some of the things covered I was already familiar with, however one thing really stuck out to me there are several different types of interviews such as structured, unstructured, panel, group, phone, and skype. So it is always best to prepare using digital footprint, taking the time to actually research and get familiar with the company, you should know the logistics type of business or service that the company provides and of course knowing the interview types. After the interview, it is always best to follow up with a thank-you letter. This leaves a great impression on the interviewers.

Thank you

Dear CORD,

I want to thank you personally for the experience this semester, through this process I appreciate your eagerness to instruct and partner with me. Thank you for your patience with me as I matured as a professional in this context. Although I have tons to learn in conducting qualitative and quantitative research, the assignments you had me work on play an integral part in the process of learning.
I encourage you all to continue the work that you do, as it contributes in many ways to society and I will always recommend colleagues that are interested to partner with you.

Sincerely,

Antwan Davis

Practicality. Area of Interest and Growth

Overall, this semester was an amazing semester. It was full of challenge, growth and development. Coming into my internship I wanted to accomplish three things. 1. I wanted to find a context where I could apply some of the theory and philosophy I have been learning. My internship was with CORD and I definitely was able to do that. I had seen first hand how collaboration is vital to accomplishing objectives and goals. I am very impressed with how CORD is structured and flows, many individuals contribute and work together. 2. I was able to find an area of interest to focus as a graduate. 3. I was also able to grow and develop as a professional. I had first-hand experience into how to manage the rigor of academic life. Watching my supervisors and team members function to meet deadlines caused me to recognize areas of procrastination in my own life and deal with them. For that, I am particularly grateful for.
