Dear Future ENT3003 Students,
You may be taking this course as a requirement for your major or minor or maybe you thought this would be an easy bs class. Well I'm here to tell you that this class requires a fair bit of attention. You have to be organized and responsible in order to achieve success in this class. This class requires you to talk to and interview strangers which, for myself, is way outside of my comfort zone. However, if you are like me and are on the reserve side to will need to either step outside of your comfort zone, or weight the cost of not completing your assignment. These moments are the ones that have made me want to give up and not complete an assignment, but you just have to tell yourself that in the end its worth doing it in order to get he points. Three tips I have that will help you foster a tenacious mindset and skills are:
1. Always be polite when asking people for their feed back. The way you present yourself and your goal affects the way a person responds and their willingness to help.
2. Do not get discouraged just because certain things won't go your way.
3. Lastly, you should always find a way to believe what you are asking and saying. People can see your passion or lack there of when you are talking about something.
Sincerely,
Future You
Hi Grace,
ReplyDeleteVery well put. Your reflection is right on point with this class. I am a career professional and must say even now that this places me outside my comfort zone. I have been put in these positions with my career, but it is much different when you are interviewing strangers for a newly thought of business plan. I also agree with your comment on believing in what you are presenting, as most people will not buy into something that you lack the passion or don’t believe in what you are selling. Great job in your post.
