Tuesday, October 29th review

A good thing for one to do is to start an internship as early as you can in order to get a good experience going on. No matter what field you go into, this is a really good idea because it is good to test drive a few jobs before you get into the working world. A good way to start as resume: put projects that are related to my major, leadership experiences, clubs, awards, scholarships, etc. Schedule an appointment with the career connections office (ASC). It’s good to put things on my resume that show that I am a well-rounded student.

Another point is to never listen to anyone who says that young people can’t do things. Young people can get great jobs and do great things. As student leaders, we should sit down and evaluate ourselves. Life mapping is a great thing (it also applies to music; you have to be honest with yourself). Stay persistent with your ideas, never take no for an answer.

Honestly, this conversation inspired me to get involved in more clubs at Ohio State. I have to make myself marketable.

It’s a good idea to find a good mentor.

STEP Meeting: Moving Forward

I realize that I should check out different recording software in order to get the best quality while recording. I should also check out different music for inspiration. There is so much music in the worlds, that I will be able to feed off of just about anything.

What I liked about this presentation

One of the things that stood out to me was how these gentleman were so proactive with their research plans. I should do research on the different career options I can get into with my degree. I should also look into any internship opportunities i could get while I am still an undergraduate student at Ohio State. Personally, I would like to explore the option of becoming a teacher. I would like to get an internship at a middle school, high school or an elementary high school. I realize that I shouldn’t be afraid to reach out to professionals. Reaching out to professionals will set me up for success in the future. I should also set up meetings with teachers, composers, arrangers, conductors, audio engineers and musicians. I will most likely work in all of these fields. I should also revise my resume. I should also set myself up for a music camp during the summer.
