Photoshop and PowerPoint

Here is a PowerPoint presentation about the Utah State University Ropes Course.  A group for a business class went there to learn real world business principles.  I really enjoyed the experience! https://sites.google.com/site/sanderson2040/system/app/pages/admin/attachments

"I really enjoyed my experience abroad, and I feel like it will influence my life for years to come. Living in another country, I was able to look at the world and my own country from a broader viewpoint and experience world events from a different perspective." -- Switzerland exchange program

The Huntsman School of Business offers once in a lifetime study abroad opportunities.  Compared to other colleges, USU ranks highest in most "bang for your buck" on study abroad.  What greater way to get up to 12 core business credits than learning in a globalized business environment.  The program includes:
  • Up to 12 credits
  • Round-trip airfare
  • Lodging
  • Transportation
  • Food
  • Books
  • Internet
  • Museums
  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Travelers insurance    
 I have applied for the Design Thinking Switzerland study abroad for this coming summer.  I am now awaiting to hear if I am accepted. I am so glad that I chose to pursue my education at Utah State. The possibilities are so numerous and my experience has been everything I wanted and more.

Blogs and Jobs

Blogging has emerged as an essential tool for business.  It can be of benefit to companies as well as individuals. One of the many purposes of a blog is to present yourself professionally in a job interview.

Keeping a professional blog keeps you current. You can use a professional blog to share your ideas and views with your followers.  A blog is a great place to showcase your knowledge and abilities. A blog is also a perfect place for others to view your work and achievements. This is important, because one of those followers could be a potential employer. By sharing your ideas and views with your audience, you can present yourself in a job interview as an informed, educated candidate.
