Well, firstly I would like to apologize for writing an open blog so late. Both Alex and I had a busy week, so we were not able to meet earlier in the week. However, I did speak to Alex on Thursday and we had a great interview! He is so open and easy-going, which made the interview an awesome time! Alex gave me a lot of insight on what MSUSCMA is, what it does, and how they work as a club/organization. Through this club, Alex says that he has learned so much about Supply Chain Management besides in the classroom/lecture. He likes being able to talk to companies one-on-one and getting to know about the company and what they are all about. He told me just being a member in the club presents itself with so many networking opportunities. Not only are the networking opportunities outstanding, but the possibility of getting an internship and possibly a job after graduation through this club is extremely high. Some new things that I learned from Alex about Supply Chain Management were that you really need to know how to interact with companies when they are trying to recruit new employees. Learning communication skills, interview skills, and eye contact are key factors when talking to companies. You must convince them that your the best candidate for the position they are looking for. Also, you must be confident, convincing, and influential when talking to companies so they know that you mean what you say and believe in what you say to them. From my blogging today and from what I learned, I realized that being in the business profession is not just about your grades. Its mostly about the way you present yourselves, if your a go-getter or not, and if you are confident in your abilities. I look forward to attending the meetings next semester, since I have evening classes from Monday to Thursday, and hopefully, I will be able to be on the E-board my junior and senior year!
