I learned what to do and what not to do when writing a resume. I learned to think with the mind of an interviewer and I learned the general rules of thumb in resume writing.]]> 2018-05-21 14:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262387787 dhibble_2018 https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262390040 NFTE taught me how to think as an entrepreneur and recognize opportunity. The entrepreneurial mindsets do not only help me when I am trying to start my own business, but they are mindsets that will help me where ever I am by allowing me think critically and thoroughly through any problem whether in a workplace or even at school. ]]> 2018-05-21 15:03:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262390040 dhibble_2018 https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262393580 One reason that I believe a business plan is very effective is the way that it allows you to reach both short-term and long-term goals. A business plan allows you to focus on the specific steps necessary to take your business to the next level and spelling out what you plan to achieve as a business. ]]> 2018-05-21 15:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262393580 dhibble_2018 https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262394472 We all sometimes come up with brilliant ideas for products or services that could change the world, but are they rational? Creating a business plan allows us to create figures and a model that tells us how doable something actually is. Our business plan tells us how much money it would cost to actually make one unit of a product and allow us to measure if that aligns reasonably with what we intend to sell it for, as well as if the business will be able to make a reasonable profit to continue operations. ]]> 2018-05-21 15:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262394472 dhibble_2018 https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262397485 NFTE has allowed me to gain interviewing skills and experience that lots of people don't gain until they're either already in the workforce or in college. by being in NFTE, I will be ahead of the game when I am interviewing for a real job or corporate internship.]]> 2018-05-21 15:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262397485 dhibble_2018 https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262397594 As a Business Administration major in college, I will almost certainly be assigned to make a business plan. By being in NFTE, I already know how to do this. I will already be aware of the possible mistakes that can be made and use my knowledge of the business plan through NFTE to my advantage. ]]> 2018-05-21 15:20:46 UTC https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262397594 dhibble_2018 https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262398271 Being in NFTE has allowed me to make relations with corporate offices and important people. This has allowed me to have more open resources. As once stated in class, "it's not what you know, it's who you know". This is a very true statement that will benefit me greatly.]]> 2018-05-21 15:22:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262398271 dhibble_2018 https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262404483 Mr. Richshafer came to our NFTE class to teach us about dress etiquette for the males in the class.

He told us about how our resume should only be one page as well as other advice in interviewing and advice on connecting with your interviewer. ]]> 2018-05-21 15:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262405952 dhibble_2018 https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262406932 For almost any job interview, the interviewer wants to have prior knowledge of the person that they are inviting to their office prior to interviewing. This is where your resume comes into play. A resume, put simply, is a condensed list that summarizes your accomplishments, experience, education and all relevant things about you.]]> 2018-05-21 15:43:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262406932 dhibble_2018 https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262406978 In any interview, an interviewer is almost bound to want to know what their interviewee is like as a person. This is where your 60-second pitch comes in. This is your time to tell them about who you are, what you do, your accomplishments, goals, etc. ]]> 2018-05-21 15:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262406978 dhibble_2018 https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262407086 Being dressed properly and presenting yourself formally and respectfully are all elements of etiquette. Rather than dressing in jeans and a t-shirt, you come dressed in a suit and tie. You do not sit leaning forward and slumped over in any way, you sit straight attentively. The way that you present yourself is the first impression that your interviewer will have.]]> 2018-05-21 15:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262407086 dhibble_2018 https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262407114 In order to prepare for a real interview, it is advised that you also have trial or mock interviews as practice in order to be prepared for the possible real questions that an interviewer might ask. ]]> 2018-05-21 15:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262407114 dhibble_2018 https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262407247 Before coming to an interview, you should always have some basic knowledge of what the company that you're interviewing for does.

As a fundraiser it was very very successful, breaking last year's record and raising over $1M . Personally, I was very surprised and intrigued by the actually attendance turnout and the amount of people that were so passionate about making Holy Trinity the school that it is. I was able to sit down and dine with the donors and attendees of the event and talk to them about what makes the Holy Trinity the special place that it is. At my table, I talked with a few restaurant owners who were friends of John Raitt and were very interested in Holy Trinity as a school from what John had told them. Guardians of Hope also allowed me to network and make good connections with employees from companies that invested money into HT.]]> 2018-05-21 18:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/dhibble_2018/dhje00pdfp5j/wish/262477611
