Three Quotes of chapter four, “You Majored in What?”

“A key piece of information you will need to learn is your interviewer’s college major”. Let me just ask you a question.  Have you ever asked your interviewer’s major during the interview? I’m assuming, probably not but few.  Many of us perhaps never thought of it.  I never thought about it whether I should and shouldn’t ask. Who knew?  I didn’t even know that was an appropriate to ask to a potential employer.  From now on, I will keep in mind to be more aware about how and when to ask about his or her major because as Brook Suggest that this can really lead to getting the job. Therefore, asking the interviewer about his or her major is essential.  If one can find out about the interviewer’s major, the applicant would really relate to his or her interviewer’s point of view.  The applicant can really see where his or her interviewer stands at.  

“Most textbooks help you find the important information by highlighting important material.” Indeed, this is the way I do my studies. Highlighting the important materials and identifying the key points, helps me to remember more and to summarize the entire chapter. For instance, when I was taking management class, I had to highlight most of the time. The book contained almost 20 chapters. Going step by step or reading page by page wouldn’t help to study for the test the entire book. So, Analyzing the key points was one way to go. It helped me a lot in dealing with the theoretical materials that contained a lot of information.
“Use A planning System” For us as students, there is a lot of work to do. Also, all people are busy and overcommitted somehow with their jobs and so on. Well, let’s go back to the point as being students. I have experienced a lot of stressfulness for the past couple of semester as being a full time student and working while I’m not in school.  …And I have to say that I had even forgotten a lot of important events that mattered to me. Sometimes, I run to my classes a bit late. Other times I needed more time to study.  So, one thing I realized was that it was time to develop a plan “a planning system”.  When I followed my plans, things start changing gradually. I had some extra time to relax and do something that wasn’t related to school work. So, for us as students I think it is very important to have a planning system, to navigate with school work

  1. A planning system is indeed a very good idea to manage your stressful day and taking the time to relax is really important too.
