Hola
Hope all is well with you guys. Things are going well for me just busy with school and work. My DEX update isnt going to be as good as the news alex gave everyone. I have emailed my personal contact at KPMG (an accounting firm in Detroit) about a possible speaking engagement with DEX about their marketing schemes. I have yet to hear a response, however I am going to touch base with them next week. Other than that, alex and I are waiting for a contact inside Google so we can schedule an event hosted by them. Also now that the Wings season is over (what a sad way to end it) i am going to touch base with Eric Freiny, my wings contact, very soon and see if he has an idea for when he will have the Red Wings Career Day.
Finally, Alex and I were brainstorming possible event ideas for the month of october, besides our sports marketing event. Alex and I both thought that DEX should host a resume, cover letter, and internship search seminar in either late september or early october for its members. Since there is a career fair in October, we thought it would be beneficial if we prepared our members to land themselves the best possible internship. It would be kind of like an insider information to getting the best internship and also what avenues students can take to seek that great internship. Lynne and Kay would be able to help us with this event seeing as how Lynne works in the career center and has a strong understanding on how to perform the internship search and prepare students for job interviews. Kay has a strong knowledge of public speaking skills and how to present yourself in an appropriate manner that would make prospective employers like our DEX members. If we combine both of their skills into one event I think it would be beneficial to our students. Especially if we hold an event like this earlier in the year this way it gives our members an edge over other organizations on campus and its career outreach events. Let me know if this is a good idea and I can go ahead and speak to Kay and Lynne and see if they would be interested in being our speakers for this event. It would be again at the end of september or beginning of october and only open to our DEX members.
Take Care. Enjoy your summer.
