    Madison Sauter: The thing that I remembered most about her interview was her mentioning how she was a team oriented person.

Additionally, it shows the interviewer that she has a interest in the satisfaction of her co-workers. This is important because she displays a need to create the best and most efficient environment for herself and her co-workers.…

Students need to visit all four campuses of ASU and immerse themselves in their surroundings to really get the most out of the ASU college experience. “I think that being a student at ASU is more than just going to class. I think it is really (about) taking advantage of the campus services and programs and resources that are available at a public research school like ASU,” Brittany Lewis, communications specialist for ASU Library,…

    Her word choice was carefully picked, precise and clean. Her tone was a calm yet persistent one where one could see how subtle but also determined she was on her work. She would pause just enough to make a clean speech, she didn’t hurry off or seemed nervous in any way which only interested the audience into paying attention to her. However, one may think that she would have an even more effective speech if she would of played with her voice a little more or do some sort of hand gestures.

I had intentionally arrived fifteen minutes earlier than my appointed time and was only accompanied by my own thoughts, which were fraught with worry. Had I arrived too early?…
