Mr. Steve Pierce

Mr. Pierce is a trustee at UNA and a local business owner and he came to talk to us this past week about how to impress potential employers. He started out by talking about things that employers will look for on your resume. these included things like showing respect and showing up on time, cleaning up your Facebook and social media, doing extracurriculars related to your major and knowing the job that you are applying for.

After he talked about how to impress potential bosses he went on to tell us that the next ten years will be very busy. In that time we will have started our careers, gotten married and possibly had children. All of those are big steps so we need to be sure that we set out in the right direction. "If you're not a year ahead, you're behind" was something he said and i feel that is a good way of saying that you should never stop learning about your field, because it is always changing.

He finished up by telling us about all of the exciting things that are going to be happening around campus soon, including Going D1, the new Science building, and a health partnership with a Chinese Businessman. All of these prospects are very interesting and i cannot wait to see them come to fruition.
