Experiencing the Huntsman School of Business

Most of my experiences with the Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University have been good. As a student I can tell that the teachers and administrators care. Just from what the staff encourages each student to do, currently the school is working on increasing student’s ability to communicate through writing. According to staff it has been an ongoing quest to find ways for the students to communicate better through writing.

Many of the students benefit from the individual attention that the teachers provide. While attending one of the meetings by the Institute for Managerial Accountants the speaker mentioned that the accounting program at USU was the best because of the individual attention the students are provided. It was that individual attention that helped him succeed.

The programs that the Huntsman School of Business provides for the students also make the experience great. I currently have plans to take advantage of the GoGlobal program. This program allows for students to take what they learned in the classroom in the real world providing opportunities for students to travel to South America, Western Europe and Eastern Asia.

My experiences with the Huntsman School of Business have been great, and I can’t wait to take advantage of the resources and programs provided to the students.

Tips for a great Blog Interview

A professional blog can essentially make or break an interview. There are many considerations when looking into including a blog as another aspect of your professional side. To make your blog work well in an interview the blog must look and sound professional.
                The look of a blog is fairly simple to achieve. There are many free websites where you can prepare and design your own blog theme. From there you can start working on posting. Keep in mind that this is a professional blog so it doesn’t need to be the, cutest most attractive blog on the web. Keep it simple and professional.
Sounding professional is all about the grammar and the topics discusses. The most important part of selling your professional self, the grammar and topics must be well thought out and presented well to be able to assist you in the process of getting the position in question.
Many benefits come from having a professional blog and allow you to show your best self. Be careful you never know who is reading and one slip up may be more than enough to keep you out of a position.
