Interview Mistakes


In my experiences of job interviews, I can see how the mistakes in this article can be pretty big. Especially about being too nervous or asking very silly questions. There are many other things that you can do wrong in a interview. Things like appearance, not being very open with your communication, or just being somewhat rude. In the past, my interviews have been one-on-one or with a group. They all had a more laid back approach when it came to the interview, which was a little calming. One thing I do regret on some of my past interviews is letting my nervousness hold me back. Some of the best things I think you can do for an interview is to go prepared, have an open positve attitude, to do research on the company, and to find a strategy that can help slow down the adrenaline.

Office Commercial


I have to say that the commercial that was shown in class on Friday was really funny to me. Since it was trying to show how to have good office manners, it proved its points of what not to do. If someone was in the office like that all the time, more work and respect would be shown in the workplace because of fear of being hit. It almost reminded me of a child doing something bad and once they get hurt you are able to learn very quickly the right thing to do.

10 years from now.....?


Ten years from now I hope that I will be or have gone through Medical School or Graduate School depending on my decision on what I want to do once I graduate. I have two things that I would love to do, they are to either become physical therapist (mainly sports medicine) or do something that deals with the study of diseases (especially diabetes) in which I could also use my degree of Nutrition. In my personal life I do not have anything planned except that I hope that I will have good and healthy relationships with people who will be in my life at that time. Hopefully my lifestyle will be positive, not too fast or too slow, a lil spontaneous, and something that I can keep up. For the future I want to have many options of where I want to be because some things may/may not work out ( for whatever reason) or my interest may change. I do not know where I will end up but I do know that I will be successful.

Web 2.0

Once I viewed the video, I was able to understand what the title of the video meant. The machine is using us because it controls our daily lives especially by the way that we communicate with each other and recieve the information. That is why we are also the machine because we put the information on the web and organize the information. In the workplace, the web is something that has to be controlled. It has to be understood that there are specific ways that information should be made and viewed on the internet. When it says that we have to rethink everything, it means that with all the information on the web it can help with our views of the things in our lives or just give all of us a second opinion.

All about me :)





Hey ya'll! My name is Kayla, I am finally a Senior at Clemson.
My major is Food Science: Human Nutrition, its a pretty nice major but I am hoping to go to school for Physical Therapy sometime in the future. I have 3 older sisters who are 10 to 15 years older than me and I also have 2 neices, 1 nephew and 1 more nephew soon to be born this month. I'm a pretty quiet person, most of the time I am either thinking about things in life, observing things around me or just daydreaming. Other than that I love to laugh, being around family and friends, going out, or acting silly. So hopefully this will be a good semester and I hope all is well for everyone this year!!
