BMA Event

Last night I attended the BMA lightning Round interviews at Manpower in Milwaukee. I would have to say that it was a great experience. I was able to have a mock interview with four different professionals who were all able to give me different sets of advice. I was able to get some business cards and follow them on twitter, @emeraldislePR, @tworiversmktg, @seroka, and @manpower. They were able to offer me advice on my strong points and what needed to be worked on for future reference. All of these individuals had a different occupation and were able to enlighten me on what they did for a living. I was also able to meet with two different people who looked over my resume and had different advice as to how they like to see resumes set up and what exactly they look for. Some people were afraid of what people were going to have to say about their resumes but I figure I am going to be looking for a summer internship and eventually I am going to have potential employers looking at it so why not start with a mock trial. I found these two parts equally and of most important value. The last speakers we saw, which I did not find quite as valuable was the social media section. However, the speakers did have valuable information to offer about online networking and taking advantage of the internet by putting out your resume for employers to see since 75% of them are looking on linked in. @haleylandsman, @apiwarun, and @stratocasting were the professionals that put on the presentation and I thought they did an awesome job.  There are plenty of places where you can check out the BMA event including, http://www.bma-milwaukee.org, http://www.facebook.com/pages/BMA-Milwaukee/143605512066 , and on twitter @BMAmke. I recommend any student to attend this event in the future!
