Interview with Matt Zanella

I interviewed a man by the name of Matt Zanella. He is an upcoming senior accounting major. We discussed his interests, any clubs he's been apart of, and some advice in terms of portfolios and studying.
To start Mr. Zanella told me that he wants to become an auditor in the future and that is why he has been very interested in accounting and business. When it came to studying he told me to make sure I learn material as it is being taught. When I do that I will retain more of what was taught. He also said to not cram. Cramming only causes stress and does not help in anyway. You may learn the stuff for the test, but you won't remember it later. The advice he gave me for building a portfolio consisted of what looks good on one. The two pieces of advice he gave me were to make sure I volunteer a lot because it looks very good! Also, he told me to try and get a leadership of some type because that also looks very good!
I then read articles from http://blogs.chatham.edu/businessblogs/2016/04/18/welcome-to-chatham-universitys-business-insight/ where I compared and contrasted what I read there and what I took form my interview. The biggest thing I took from them was that the interview was much more personable. The article on the other hand was more based to help everyone while my interview was more directed to help me.

William Mooney: Review

Personally I have always been a fan of the marketing side of business. Finance never came easy to me, but trying to sell something to someone. I loved that. When Professor Mooney came in I had a fingertip on the world of finance. I knew it exists but I did not want anything to do with it. Professor Mooney came in and started speaking about how no matter what you do finance is important. He explained that it did not matter what our majors were it is important because it is about investment. Time is and investment. How were we going to spend our time? This peaked my interest immensely. He just related something I hate to my life. I

Management Tip Response: Solve a Problem by Thinking About the Worst Possible Solution

      The main idea of this tip is to do the opposite of pretty much what we've always been taught to do when we are in a situation when we need to think of something. The article focuses on staring a brainstorming session by thinking of "The worst possible solution," first before doing anything else. By doing this you can only build up from there to make "the worst idea" better.      One thing we talked about in class is innovation. The idea of innovation is coming up with a new product, idea or method. Most of the time innovation can greatly help a business or company no matter the size. This was of thinking the article is stressing is very innovative.       We've been taught to develop the absolute best idea we can come up with first. If you do that you can't really build the ladder up any. This was of thinking allows for more input on an idea and as it grows and cannot be changed, it becomes the best possible idea.
