Month: March 2011

My friend from high school was one person who have given me a lot of insight about what I want to pursue as my career. She told me once that she wanted to be someone who can change the world for the better. She admired Muhammad Yunus for creating the Grameen Bank. She said “That’s what I want to do. To be someone who can make a change.”

My friend is one of the people I know with a big heart. It was one month before the end of eleventh grade and she threw me her idea of organizing a hair donation event. She was very passionate about the idea and worked out all the logistics of how the event could be possible. I was skeptical at first because I have never created or planned a large scale event before. However, my friends’determination to make the impossible possible inspired to continue with the project.

After organizing this event I was inspired by my friend to take challenges and not give up on anything I want to do. Her passion about life made me realize I want to live my life enjoying my job.

Networking is important for students, prospective employees and employers to meet and greet each other. These networking sessions help companies and individuals build their contact list. At these sessions, people can also share their experiences while learning from others.

Nowadays, online social networking has caused a huge impact on communication. The landscape of communication slowly modified itself moving from long phone call conversations to Skyping and Facebook chatting.

Since a lot of our networking are done through the internet, I wonder if there will be a push towards online networking sessions in complementary to the usual personal networking sessions. Reader’s Digest wrote an article about the impacts of social networking on the society. It suggests that social networking has changed the ways of how people connect with each other. Communication an important aspect of business is likely to be impacted this new phenomenon. Would networking sessions, thus be changed by this?
