Red Flags blog

 When I first started to look for an internship opportunity, I was able to find many companies, or even fake companies, that had many red flags that you could see just by looking at them. One of the biggest red flags that I saw was when I got an email from a very sketchy email address that was offering me an internship that I didn't even apply to, and it was also offering me much more money than the average internship pays. This had many red flags in just that one email because, according to the PDF, it talks about how it is a red flag if the email that you get does not have a domain that is related to the company. Another red flag in this email is that it was offering me a job I did not apply for, and it was also over the salary range for the job. This was not the only time there were emails in my inbox full of red flags like that one. I also got a text from an unknown number and it was telling me to apply for a job at their place for over the summer. When I looked up their area code from their number, it was not even from the US. I later got a follow-up email to this text, and it was telling me that to get the job, I had to give my Social Security number and bank account. These were very obvious red flags from this because I was not even responding, and the follow-ups kept coming, getting more and more ridiculous. Over, when I started the process of finding an internship, there were a lot of red flags that I found when I was in the search. This PDF, which showed red flags, showed me that there were even more that I had missed when I was in my search.

Salary Negotiation Blog

 The first thing I learned from reading the salary negotiation PDF is the importance of researching the salary before the interview, so you know the range and average salary for the job. Also, I have learned that you do not want to talk about salary until you are already offered the position, if possible. Also, you should never accept an offer on the spot; you should always ask for some time to review everything. When you are ready to sign a new offer, it is very important to make sure everything in your offer is in writing so they can not go back on any part of the deal. Ask for what you think is fair is a very big part of what I got from reading this PDF, which means if you think you should have it, ask for it, but at the same time, do not try to ask for something that is completely unreasonable. Showing the research that you did into the salary to show whoever offered you the job the average salary for your job in the area is also very important because it will stop someone from...

Internship Blog

 This summer, I hope to learn a lot of things from the internship that I have, and I also hope that it is going to be a fun experience. This internship should help me out with my communication skills, which helps me with my major, because I'm working in the marketing department. This internship is also at a corporate company, which is a very good experience to have work at a job like this before I graduate. I think that the most important thing that I can do this summer is to make sure I get the most out of this internship for my senior year of college and also for the job I will have to get after college. There are so many things that you can get out of an internship, but I think the most important parts are learning communication skills, professionalism, and learning to have a good work ethic while working with a team or solo. I will be interacting with a wide range of people during this internship, which should put me in situations that make me uncomfortable, allowing me to grow...

Career Search blog

 I have been looking into two careers that seem like they are things that I would like to do for a job. The two careers are acting and marketing. Actors have a very broad spectrum of work, such as TV shows, commercials, movies, plays, and voice-overs. For the education needed for acting, it is actually very minimal, even though there is extra education that you can get for acting, which is helpful, it is not required. The average wage for an actor is around 30$ an hour, but it has a very big range because you can make a lot less or you can make a lot more. There are a lot of future opportunities with acting because people are always making new movies and shows, so there is a lot of work to be done if you can get it. I think I would fit into this job because I have always liked acting, and I have taken many classes in college that I acted in. For marketing, your job is to create things that will promote interest in either a brand or a service. To work in marketing, you need to have ...
