Today was another relaxing day of work! We tore apart our resumes today and Paul gave us a lot of advice about what employers are looking for in a resume and in an interview. We were able to read over the notes from our own phone interviews for this internship. Both of us scored very well, which is why I'm lucky enough to spend the summer in Montana!
Ronda, from Western Marketing, came into town and took us out to lunch at Mackenzie River Pizza. It was absolutely delicious gormet pizza. She gave us some tips on interviewing and reconfirmed that employers generally make their decision within the first minute of meeting the potential employee. A friendly smile, self-confidence, and a firm handshake can go a long way!
We also discussed our strengths, weaknesses, and work tenets (pet peeves) with Paul. He gave us a copy of his 8 tenets. When recommends keeping a written record and giving a copy to employees (someday) because it is a straight forward way of telling people what sets you into orbit. He also recommends surrounding ourselves with people who have strengths in the areas that we are weak.
After work I met up with my parents! They just got into town and are staying in their motor home in Bear Canyon Campground. Rachael and I took them to the M for one last hike up. They seemed to enjoy the view, but not the hill! For dinner, we drove to Manhattan and ate at the Oasis. We met up with Paul, Rick, Ron, and all of their families. The Oasis is a very laid back steak house with really good meat. I think it was a good "Welcome to Montana" for my parents.
