BMA event

Can you say helpful? Eye-opening? Yummy!? Well I sure can; last night BMA held an event the Manpower Office in Milwaukee, WI. When I walked into the building I had butterflies going nuts in my tummy; this kind of event was very new to me. But pizza was the first part, (yummy!) which calmed my nerves a little bit! But after stuffing my face with a variety of kinds of pizza, I saw the social media presentation from Fullhouse. The speakers @Apiwarun, @haleylandsman, and @stratocasting. I learned so much valuable information about social media and how important it is when getting a job! I am proud to say first thing this morning I got on a number of social media sites and busted my little tooshy on getting my name out there! I am a now a proud member of LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and going to make a weebly. The speed interviewing portion of the night was scary at first, but was actually really enjoyable! I just acted myself and got amazing reviews from the people who I interviewed with. I am proud to say that my small business I started has given me the confidence and experience to communicate and carry myself. I walked out of this event with not only tips on how to further my chances at a further career, but the confidence in myself that by just being myself will and can get me very far! :) Thanks again BMA and Manpower, I plan on coming to more events in the future!

    Hi Heather! I also found the event eye-opening and more importantly, YUMMY. What a great experience. I was also incredibly nervous about the interviews, but took so much away from it :)

    Isn't it funny how eye opening one experience can be? I know that after the BMA event, and even more specifically the interviewing part, I felt like I already was more prepared to take on the "real world". I already look forward to attending this event next year and making more connections! :)
