Business Presentation
It is such a relief to have my presentation done with. I am not a strong public speaker, which I'm sure most of you noticed. I just get so nervous about it that I forget everything that I had practiced to say. Anyways, I feel the most beneficial part of doing the interview was just that it completely reinforced all of the topics that we have discussed in class. It brought real world people, jobs, and situations out of the book and right in front of us as we were interviewing our owners. I feel that all Intro to Business classes should have to do this project because it directly relates to the material learned in the classroom.

Amy's "PAY ME"
So you think being a college student with a 4.0 GPA will help you get a seasonal summer job? WRONG! ...well at least for me.
I worked for a certain company (no names mentioned) for four years throughout my high school career. I worked nights, weekends, and holidays. You name it, I worked it. After my four years of service it was time for me to go off to college. I signed a paper stating that I would return the following summer as a full time seasonal employee. The year passed and i received a 4.0 GPA. However when it was time to return to work for the summer they generously appologized and said..."we CAN'T take you back." Apparantley they had hired too many employees over the span of that year and had no room for a DEDICATED long time employee like myself. Well of course I was upset...not so much about the job itself but about the absence of a paycheck. College kids work all summer and save (or try to save) all their money for the school year when it's harder to work. I JUST WANTED TO GET PAID!!
Well this story has a good ending. It turns out that summer I got a much better job with double the hourly pay rate!
