“A Message TO GO BY”

I think everyone can relate to this message.

BE CAREFUL OF YOUR THOUGHTS,

FOR YOUR THOUGHTS BECOME YOUR WORDS

BE CAREFUL OF YOUR WORDS,

FOR YOUR WORDS BECOME YOUR DEEDS;

BE CAREFUL OF YOUR DEES,

FOR YOUR DEEDS BECOME YOUR HABITS;

BE CAREFUL OF YOUR HABITS,

FOR YOUR HABITS BECOME YOUR CHARACTER;

BE CAREFUL OF YOUR CHARACTER,

FOR YOUR CHARACTER BECOMES YOUR DESTINY.

“BEING A PROFESSIONAL WOMAN” 6/21/2010

Today Monday June 21, 2010 a lady by the name of Adrienne Alberts came from Constellation Energy to speak to us about being the more professional woman. Ms. Alberts stated to us that we have 10 seconds to make a split decision about someone it might not be the right one but the first thing that comes to your mind. She grew up in Virginia. Ms. Alberts started working in higher education and was doing that for 10 yrs. Then she worked at Monster.com helping college kids work to find jobs. Here are a few things that needs to done while going on an interview:

• Show up early/ be on time
• Dress/ Good hygiene
• Hair needs to be groomed well
• Less is more not a lot of jewerly, perfume
• Attitude- positive/ smile
• Assertive and confident
• Avoid conflict
• Body Language
• Being congruent- having your body language match what you say

I really liked the speaker today, because I look at her as a mirror, meaning that’s where I see myself being once I finish this program. Ms. Alberts is a very successful African American woman and I congratulate her on her success and if she can do it I know I can do it.
