As the first week of the semester has come to an end, I'm still a little unsure what it class is going to be about. As an OMIS major I am expecting the class to be more technology oriented than other marketing classes. This week we had a guest speaker come to the class, Lynn Hazan. I was taken a little off guard when Dr. Zahay told the class that we were going to have a guest speaker that was going to help us with our job search. I have had only had 2 other classes where the professor had brought someone from the outside to give us career advise. Lynn is a recruiter and she spoke to the class about the current job market and give us tips on how to interview. She was very informative and gave the class a lot of insight on the kinds of things recruiters are looking for in possible job candidates. I think Lynn was very helpful and opened my eyes to a few things that I never really took into consideration when interviewing, like not forgetting to smile. Overall, I thought see was a good speaker and I wish I had more guest speakers like that in some of my other classes.
