How I did it
How to do mock interviews for recruiting
It took me
30 days
It made me
Relieved

How I did it: The maximum that the Office of Career Development would allow is 2 appointments a week, so I signed up for just that many.  After 8 or so appointments, I was significantly improved--I got used to the types of questions and was more practiced in my answers.  So when the real interviews started, nothing was a surprise and I was completely comfortable. Read how I did it…

waste less food (read all 4 entries…)
slight step backwards 9 months ago

This weekend I got so excited at the thought of cooking my own meals that I spent way too much money on groceries, and when Monday came around and I was at school all day for 3 days, I wasn’t home to eat the food and it’s starting to go bad. Note to self: When shopping, only shop for 2 days!

Get financial aid lined up for the next year (read all 6 entries…)
Untitled 9 months ago

Turns out there wasn’t a mistake beyond my own miscalculations for what I’d need. So… what I have will barely get me to the end of the year (April). I could try to get another loan, or see if I can negotiate a good signing bonus for whatever company gives me a job—that $$$ should make up the difference and moving costs and then some. Hmm.

work out 4 times a week (read all 7 entries…)
Crap. 9 months ago

I’ve really been blowing this goal. Since school started a couple of weeks ago, this has just been incredibly tough—I’m lucky if I make it out there once a week. Sure, I’m doing a lot more walking around campus which should help, but definitely not what it should be.
