* E-Portfolio
TV/DVD Raffle – This raffle is open
to any day student!!!!
The
TV is in my office. Come check it out
and then make that baby yours by creating an e-portfolio. That will enter you in the drawing. Between now and December 10th any day student who creates and puts at
least 3 documents in an e-portfolio is eligible for the drawing. If you’ve already created an e-portfolio
you’re in the drawing (providing there are 3 documents in the portfolio). To view how to create an e-portfolio follow
the directions
located here. If you are not an FS110 student you must give me (Bill Schissler)
access to view the portfolio (that’s how I can put you in the drawing). The directions show how this is done – you
should also consider giving your advisor access as well.
During
Finals week, one student will be selected at random and that person will win
the TV/DVD player
I
can set you up in a brand spanking new e-portfolio in less than 20 minutes with
no money down!!!!! Please email me and
make an appointment.

you prepare properly for your interview.
Know what the company does, get an idea of the challenges they face and
try to picture how you would fit in.
Then if you’re stumped on one question it won’t look bad to say you
don’t have an answer (the decision maker may even be impressed). The Wall Street Journal’s career section has
more on this topic here.
