This week our group had our first team meeting outside of the classroom to prepare for our presentation on Tuesday. Early on in the term I was unhappy with how much I was contributing to the group. I’ve been contributing much more, although still not quite as much as I feel I could be. In class we learned about making good presentations and having something that “sticks” with the audience. Since I’m making the powerpoint I plan on using what I learned to make slides that aren’t too wordy and keep to audience engaged.

Resume Workshop
This week I had my resume workshop, and even though I wasn’t looking forward to it going into it I got a lot out of it. I did a resume for my application to the business school but after what we learned today I realized that in hindsight my resume looks pretty bland. We learned about the best way to highlight your experiences and how using action verbs looks better to employers than passive wordage. Since I will be entering the workforce soon this assignment provides an excellent opportunity to get my resume in order and get me off on the right foot.
Week 2 Blog Post
This week has really made me think about how I work with others in a group setting. For my LDP I talked about being a more outspoken group member because this week in our team meetings I feel like I didn’t contribute as much as I should have. I think as time goes on and we get to know each other better I’ll do a better job of talking and sharing my ideas as well as challenging other group members.
