Week Five

Hello once again readers! I have arrived back from Boston after having a vacation with the family. On both Tuesday and Thursday I attended the same site at Mytek North. As presentations at May are closing in, Rick is preparing to instruct us on our presentation skills. An added benefit of having him as our mentor, Rick learned from Toastmasters, an educational organization that helps its members hone their their leadership, communication, and public speaking skills. To prepare us, Rick instructed us to first create our power point draft and present to him.

On Tuesday, the three of us went to another Arizona Tech. Council meeting. This time it was about company organization. Although it did not pertain to both Rohan and I on account of our projects, attending there still gave us an opportunity to watch the presenter closely to see what she did well and what she did not. We noticed that she was reading her power point word for word, which is not what she should done. What she should have down was use those points to expand upon rather than what she did. The audience can easily read the power point themselves; it was just up to explain more into it. That was a major weak point that Rick pointed out to us as we rode back.

Thursday Rohan and I were supposed to make our power points. However through some miscommunication, he and I instead tried to help out and learn from the employees around the office. Around noon, we were both stationed to listen into calls. The majority of calls regarded changing passwords because the employee either forgot or the employee is no longer working there.
