1.) I did my mentor ship at my sister's house.

2.) My contact is Amanda Mendoza

3.) I did a total of 10 hours while I was there

4.) While I was there she made me do an outline on a project her job gave her. Which was basically like what type of posters/ads and such should be put up keep in my that she works at Victoria Secret so this was really difficult on me and i really didn't do a good on it. BUT after I was done she gave me an eye opener she brought me her outline that she was working on cause she knew that I wasn't going to do such a good job on it and told me that if i really want to go into business really put forth effort into finding out who your clients are going to be and what kind of deals are they looking for and that really made me get more focused on my senior project cause I really had to find out who customers where to do a good job on it.

Blog 10: Senior Project: The Holiday

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you over the break with your senior project?

A. During the break my Mentor went off on a vacation with her family so I was stuck in a pickle on how to get hours for my senior project that would relate to my topic. So I went and asked my sister if I can somehow help her with anything relating to business and luckily for me they gave her a certain for the store. I basically had to find out what kind of customers will go to VS. Now she works in Rancho and that's not my area of expertise to I had to do some research and I came up with OK ideas sense well it wasn't really my place to do work for.

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

A. I learned that you really got to know the type of customers you'll be getting. You really need to focus on what they want and what they would like to see if of course you want to maximize your potential profit. Just working on ideas which I wasn't very good at but it showed that knowing your business helps a lot when doing such things as that.

3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

A. I am thinking of changing my EQ because I don't really like how it is right now making it more difficult to do research so as of right now this portion I cannot answer very well. But of course I can always ask vague questions and see what kind of response I would get but I don't want that.
