Hello Chris, I have been keeping my camera on at all my meetings. Since everyone else has theirs on for these weekly meetings, I come prepared to take notes and contribute what I need to each time. On another note, no one has mentioned etiquette about leaving a microphone on yet. Having been a ...

I'm using BST to log all my hours into, and I'm using mostly the same strategy you had as an intern. However, I reach the office slightly before 9:00 am so that I can go over emails and other concerns before I start tracking times on my Notepad. That way, I can focus one project or meeting at a time, ...

My most valuable lesson as an intern was how the transition from classes to work would focus on projects. While working as a Student Utilities Assistant, I was entrusted with various projects, like setting up light sensors around the office, and co-predicting energy usage for a year. Although I had weekly ...

Hello Heidi, I've come to realize that companies consider employee's resumes a database for relevant work history and skills. To that end, I have a resume that serves as a database to every piece work history I have collected since high school. On that resume, every piece of work history is written ...

Hello Christopher, I have always thought of interviewing as the time to seek a job. Due to the time I have sent so far attending universities and career fairs, I have considered the last several years time to either work at a job, look for a job, or work as a full-time student. To that end, now that ...

Hello Samantha, I seem to be both late to this party, and early for the next one. Although studying in a group has helped me get through homework problems that I was stuck on, it was important to me to do the work first. When I was still getting my Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, it could be ...

During my time obtaining my Master's degree, I've been meeting up with a colleague who is also working towards Statistics-Analytics. Although he has more experience than me, that isn't for Civil Engineering, he's been showing me more lessons about long-term insight outside of work. I have been as devoted ...

The organization I've been using for all my classes involved two-way organization and memory. Every time I finished a semester, the content of my classes would be split into digital and physical format, so that I would have one copy of each important document.

LinkedIn is one of my "professional" social media accounts as well. It's how I am following dozens of companies I have met with at numerous Career Fairs, and how I stay connected to over one hundred students and professions I have met with over the years. I am so glad I managed to turn off the notifications ...

When I was that young, my attention was divided between school work, some after school activates like building with Knex and playing piano, and playing video games. To that end, my vision of success was having a lasting impact on the world around me, such as a record, or other grand achievement. My ...

While I was working part-time on-campus, I was the guy who brought his lunch. It was always either food I bought nearby from a Subway in the morning, or packed from home, and especially when it was the former, I was sure the workers next to me could smell it in the morning. The most I could do was enclose ...

I am most prone to forgetting people's names when I meet them en masse, then never hear their names again. Often, I will be able to differentiate their faces and our histories afterwards, but not what their names were. To that end, I focus on remembering the names of a few specific people, especially ...

I am sure there should be trust that employees will focus on their work while working; i.e., that no one will spend their working hours playing games or deliberately risking the security of the work computers. To that end, I think it's reasonable if a company would block gaming sites that are irrelevant ...
