Lesson 5

1. Who are you interviewing for your informational interview that is due with the portfolio at the end of the term?
I have recently met one of the head human service workers for the Boys and Girls Club here in Wausau.  Our sons have cub scouts together.  I am thinking about talking to him to set up an interview.  I think he would be a good person to interview because I would be interested in working with children possibly for my next Field Experience.

2. Have you been working on updating your resume and tweaking your cover letter?
I have updated my resume to include the agency I am doing my Field Experience at.  I have also included that I am now a volunteer (Advancement Chair) for the Cub Scouts troop 416.  I have not done much to my cover letter at this point.

3. How has your professional self developed through your time here at NTC?
I feel like I have grown a lot as a person since I started at NTC.  I feel like I am more open.  I am a shy person but being at NTC has helped me to be more comfortable talking to people.  I am still nervous a lot but it is getting better as time goes on. 

4. Anything else I need to know?  Need to vent?  Share good stuff?  Do it here....
I had my interview for placement in an agency.  I interviewed with Community Corner Clubhouse.  It went perfect.  I am so excited to get started (Oct. 3).  I am also nervous about the amount of hours I am going to have to complete in between classes and work.  It is going to be tough.  The clubhouse seems like a great place to work.  It is a relaxed atmosphere and very non-traditional from a clinical setting.  I am so excited.
