Today we worked mostly on projects 2 and 3. With respect ot #2 we started on the way to answer interview questions.
In addition to "Tell me about yourself" we worked on "What are your strengths as an employee?" This last question can be very hard to answer -- nobody likes to sound like they're bragging.
But think honestly about yourself. Here are some qualities that may apply to you:
Are you hard working?
Are you organized?
Are you a person who will take risks?
Are you a person who can work well towards a difficult goal?
Can you communicate with a lot of people?
Are you a person who is good at details?
These are all important qualities that people look for in employees! Choose two or three and elaborate on them -- showing how in your life you've demonstrated the qualities you choose.
We also worked on project 3 -- and spent a lot of time on issues having to do with plagiarism. Please pay attention to pp. 166-178 in the handbook. Here are some common problems:
1. not blending a quotation (called "integrating" a quotation) grammatically into a sentence.
2. writing "vomit" -- where there are large, recognizable "chunks" of the original material in your writing.
3. copying something without quoting -- even if you cite (reference) it.
Be careful of these problems and others. Consult the handbook!
