An endorsement for Career Day

Posted on February 26, 2007 by | Leave a comment

I’m posting the following message from Beth Runciman about what she found at Career Day. Shows you need to take advantage of the opportunities presented.

Macroeconomics, Section 2, MWF 12:30
Career Day Extra Credit

At career day I spoke with many employers and handed out six resumes for potential summer internships. I signed up for an interview that took place the following day with William Chung from Hawaiian Tug & Barge / Young Brothers, LTD.

Who: Hawaiian Tug & Barge / Young Brothers, LTD
William Chung, VP, Personnel & Industrial Relations
Where from: Honolulu, Hawaii
Job opportunities: Engineers, 2nd Mates, Chief Mates, and Captains of tractor and twin
screw tugs; also Commercial Cruises and summer internships for Cadets

My goal in attending the job fair was to find summer work to gain job experience and help pay the bills. Being a freshman I didn’t know what to expect, as I know mostly the companies are looking for graduating seniors or sophomores for commercial cruise. However, I found six employers willing to provide summer work opportunities in the form of internships or entry level deckhands. Career Day can be beneficial, even for freshman!

Macro – Week 8

Posted on February 24, 2007 by | Leave a comment

On Monday our two speakers will discuss chain weighting of the CPI with us.  They are Robert Pinder in the morning, and Jade Evans in the afternoon.  Congratulations to them for submitting the best powerpoint slide.

This week we will move into chapter 9 and breeze thru it.  We can spend the whole week, and also review some problems.  You should be working the homework problems now on chapters 5-9 because you will stand for your exam on Wednesday March 7.  We are making good progress.

I have your papers but cannot say when they will be returned.  I like to read them and make comments, and I am not sure at this point what my time budget will be.  The curriculum committee continues to have weekly meetings, and so does my department faculty.  I will get them back as soon as I can.

See you Monday!
