9. A visit from Michele Armstrong

Michele Armstrong is a Sr. Manager of corporate Recruiting at Vulcan Inc. On the recruiting side of things she talked about how to build your team. This was probably one of my favorite speeches from this class because she mainly discussed how to approach getting a job. One thing that I found that was interesting is that she said to weigh all the factors like benefits, not just pay. But it seems that most jobs that I have found online in my job hunting is they basically make sure that the pay range is out in the open and if you want to find out the benefits, if any, you may need to contact them. She also gave us a kind of cool trick where if you are looking for an internship and a company is looking to hire a similar, higher up position as a job, they will most likely be looking to hire within the company but they still put the post up and check a few interviews first. If that is the case, I should contact them and say that if they hire within the company and if they will be looking for an intern to contact me. I have also never thought to check crags list for jobs, I have always thought of it as a place to find used stuff but after checking they have quite a few listings. I never thought that online job places charged so much to businesses to put job postings... ten thousand a year... Well, when I go job hunting this spring I feel that I have some good tools to use.
