How I felt after my presentation

I felt fairly confident during my presentation. I had practiced my speech several times during the days prior to class. As the time came closer for me to speak, I got slightly nervous. During my speech, I got tripped up once, but I tried to correct myself and keep going as best I could. After the presentation, I was relieved to be done and felt like a large amount of weight was lifted off my shoulders. It's not that I mind speaking in front of people, but I worry people won't be interested in what I have to talk about. Overall, I think it went pretty well.

So, right now I am in the middle of choosing between two internships. In the past two weeks I went from stressing out about not knowing what I was going to do for a job during the school year, to not knowing which job to pick. I interviewed with Basic in Portage a week ago for another marketing internship. Three days later they called and told me they really liked me and that they wanted me to come in to meet the VP of sales and marketing. They offered me the job and I told them I would get back to them this week. The same day they called me to meet the VP, my boss at Treystar asked me to continue on with them through the school year. I am very comfortable where I am at and make good wages, but my new role would be more of an administrative assistant, where as if I took the new internship at Basic, I would be learning more about the marketing field. As a college student, I have a very small income and sometimes an unrealistic budget. Making sure I have enough money to get through the year is a huge issue, but broadening my knowledge of the marketing field is crucial as well. So does pay and comfortability trump a new marketing experience or vice versa?

Event Planning Process

For tomorrow's presentation, I am going to explain the process behind event planning. I have always been intrigued by big parties, weddings, and large business functions. It was just recently that I began to realize all the work and planning that truly goes into the event. During my internship at Treystar, I got to help with planning several large events. While putting these events together, I realized that I had a true passion for it and wanted to gain more knowledge about the process, which is why I chose this as my topic.

What sets me apart from other job applicants in marketing?

I believe experience sets me apart from others in the sales and marketing field. I started working in sales at age 16 as a sales associate at Maurices. In this clothing store I learned to read customers to find out what they wanted. My sales climbed steadily until I had the highest in the store. I am currently a marketing intern, where I get to work first hand on advertisements and promotions and learn how we market our commercial spaces to potential clients.
