Cover Letter

I don't agree with everything that the site says. I don't agree with the idea to add a postscript to it. This seems like it would make your cover letter less professional. I also disagree with the idea of adding testimonials to your cover letter. It seems like you should not include what others say about you when you are trying to show your knowledge about the company. It seems like you should just have a place for your recommendations included with your resume. I think it also wouldn't be a good idea to have an entire testimonial serve as your cover letter. I think the best advice it gives is to make sure it is specified to the job and person that will be reading it. I can see how it would be a bad idea to send out the same cover letter to multiple jobs. You want it to seem like you specifically want the job you are writing for, and a mass letter will not do that.

Client Visit

I'm looking forward to working on this project the rest of the semester. I think it is great what they are trying to do, because in today's society we do make a lot of decisions that aren't very healthy. I think one good idea would be to get the nutritional facts about what is served at the dining halls better displayed. I looked and saw that there is a book of the nutritional information when you walk in, but no one takes the time to look at it. If the information was displayed where the food is served, I think more people would pay attention to it. Things are going well in the group. Everyone has been willing to participate and is getting along well. Right now I don't have any questions about the project.

Interview Mistakes

I agree with the article. I think all these mistakes would be fairly big in an interview. I think people have made bigger mistakes in interviews than some of these, but these mistakes are probably far more common. I have never had an interview. I think the biggest thing people can do to have a successful interview is just try to relax. I think if you are too uptight going into the interview, you are going to be too nervous and not be able to portray yourself in the right light. Other than trying to relax, I think practicing like the article says will help. If you can think about some of the answers you will give, it will make the interview much easier.

Sports Randomness

I'm really into sports. If people play it, I'll watch it. I played a lot of sports as a kid, and my love for pretty much every existing sport has flourished ever since. This weekend I added 3 events to my list of "must go there/see" in my lifetime.
The first place I just added is Scottsdale, Arizona. The reason: the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale. I watched some of the coverage on this hole. It is like no other hole in the world. The tournament has put grand stands all around this short par 3 and made it into their own "stadium". I read a couple blogs on ESPN.com from writers who were there and instantly texted my brother saying that he should check it out. From everything that I read and watched, this is a hole that has an atmosphere in golf like no other.
The second place is to a Super Bowl site. I really want to go to a Super Bowl in my lifetime. I think if my Falcons ever make it, I will have to go. I am a big football fan and I think going to a city and experiencing all of the activities that lead up to the Super Bowl would be a must for me. Call me if you ever get tickets though.
The last thing that I added this weekend is to see Rafael Nadal play. Ideally, I want to see him play against Roger Federer. I watched their Australian Open final today, and I was absolutely blown away. I've watched both these guys play a lot on tv, but it seemed like today both of them raised their play to another level. It was amazing to watch these two guys hit powerful precise shots over and over. It just made me really wanna see both these guys play.
