As an international sophomore student majoring in Business Administration, I struggle with the balance between studying and working for a long time. The biggest challenge I have is time management. Since we are from different country, social networking is pretty crucial to us because we don’t know anybody when we came to the states.

Kit gave me a list of websites to look for an internship and asked me never give up. Furthermore, I actually join in a Facebook Group because of my social media class. Students and professors post large amount of job information and useful link on it. Furthermore, students talked about their job-seeking experience on it. The social media class basically teach students how to manage their LinkIned and Facebook account to a better way.

    Rounding Data When data is gathered and calculated, the final information presented tends to be rounded. On some occasions it may be necessary to round data, especially when rounding non-integer vales to integer values for simplicity and statistical representation.

    I first started looking for a summer internship during the spring 2015 school semester. I used various outlets and applied to many jobs in Long Island, NY and in Albany, NY. I found that using career websites, such as CareerSaint or Indeed.com, did not result in me finding much because I would send out my resume, and not really know who my resume went to so I could not follow up with the company if I wanted to. So, I started researching online, mainly using search engines such as Google.com, companies that I thought would be a good fit for me. My major is Actuarial Science, however I am still looking at working in different areas in business in order to find something that I really enjoy doing and can see myself doing as a career for the rest of my life.…

    My level of concern about privacy when it comes to my location and whereabouts would rank as a 7 for me on a scale of 1 to 10. I am uncomfortable with my location being tracked, but I do not think that the people with access to it would use it maliciously. I assume that the people who could possibly have access to this information would be my cell service provider and the makers of apps on my phone. I think that apps should be allowed to use this information if it provides for a better experience, such as using google maps to get accurate directions. However, I would like to block most apps and my service provider from accessing my location.…
