There have been many important things which I have learned in my time in Comm 299, all of which will do me a great deal of help when I reach the real world of business. However in my sole opinion I find that the most important thing which I have learned is that you always have to been prepared.

This is quite a vague comment, but which specifically applies to multiple situations. Firstly, one must always be prepared to face anything in the job hunt. For example obscure questions can be thrown at you, or there could be a chance encounter with a potential employer in which you must act quickly and properly in order to make an excellent first impression.

In a more broad sense, being prepared relates to having all of the aspects of your “brand” worked out. One must be confident and assured of who they are. In addition one must be prepared in how they handle themselves in regard to they manners and protocol during a business interaction, such as the proper handshake and how to properly talk to a potential business associate.
