This week in ISM, we began preparing for the upcoming weeks and months of meeting with professionals. We created rough drafts of our resumes that we will be handing out to people we meet and get the chance to converse with and we also began brainstorming interview questions to be best prepared for our special time getting to meet with professionals in the future and specifically at our upcoming Professional Symposium. We also got to continue diving into research this week and learning more about our chosen topic of study to continue establishing our knowledge.
This week I got to grow in areas of creativity and I found personal weaknesses in areas of the classroom community. Creativity was a necessity this week in creating our resumes and even interview questions. We had the freedom to pick between hundreds of resume templates and get to select one that we believe best reflects us and our passions. This was a slightly difficult task as you want to find something that shows who you are as a person and be creative with that to catch other people’s intentions. Through this, I got to explore options and creatively find things that I believe reflect me and my personality. We also got to explore creativity this week through potential interview questions for professionals. This task seemed simple at first, but became a much more intentional and thought provoking experience than I first thought. However, this task was very interesting as it forced us to focus on what we want to know from these experienced workers. What are intentional questions to get to know someone that go beneath the surface level? Those are the type of questions we focused on asking and I can’t wait to get to ask them and hear all the responses. An area of weakness I had this week that I would like to focus more on is classroom connections. I would like to work more to get to know other people in my class and build connections with them as this will help me get to learn more perspective and be able to lean on more people for help.
Additionally, this week we got to continue our research on our topic and expand our knowledge on that. I got to research more details of family law and all the different pieces that fall under that category which I find very intriguing that there is such variety. I also got to look into some different fundamental court cases that have shaped what family law is today. This gives me a glimpse into the decisions of family law and how the behind the scenes works. Diving deeper into this topic has given me great confidence that this is what I am supposed to be exploring and I am very eager to continue growing my knowledge within this topic.
