This past week has been quite busy. I reflected on the Business Symposium (which was very educational), started compiling a list of mentors, and have to start cold calls this week.
Business Symposium
Although the symposium was over a week ago, it was so important that it should be mentioned again. Most of all, it was important because it helped me realize that I have decent interview skills and that I should be more confident. This has been important in the last week as I have been preparing to start cold calling professionals. Also, I need to start contacting everyone I networked with. It has been more than a week, but something is better than nothing.
Cold Calling
Currently, I am working on a cold call script which is similar to my elevator speech. I plan to start cold calling on Wednesday. Also, I have 9 interview prospects, but I am sure that the success rate will be quite low. I am anxious about starting to cold call because that means that I will be interacting with people who I have never met before. I have caught myself rehearsing for cold calls at the most random times (driving, writing an essay, doing statistics homework).
Resume and Website
I have finally found a color scheme that is appropriate. Instead of hot pink and navy blue, I will use white, cream, navy blue, and sea foam.
I also am in the midst of redesigning my resume to make it simpler and easier to read, as many people recommended at the business symposium.
Here's to this week going well!!!
