Week Four

            This week has probably been the most interesting week so far. On Monday, I reached out to two of my contacts to set up interviews, and Justin replied that same day. We set up an interview, and I had it yesterday! On Wednesday night, I had to go and get another suit for the interview. I did this because the one I have is black, and I needed a less formal one since I already know Justin. I decided to get a blue suit and accent it with brown. After the interview, Justin gave me a name of a person to reach out to for another interview, and he told his co-worker Jake to respond to me to set up another interview.

            During the interview with Justin, I learned a lot about my field and about how he got where he is today. He gave me an important piece of advice pertaining to school, which is “Homework really is the best way to help you learn.” I am happy he told me this because until then I hated doing homework. Lastly, he told me the classes you take as a mechanical engineer during college. Overall, I hope my next four interviews are as successful as this one.
