Blog 12 - Holiday Project Update

It's not at all like this during holidays. Got to work harder. 

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?

• Over break I went only a couple of times which was to help organize bills, but to also help my mentor organize a Christmas party for the workers. I helped her with the visual decorations of the party, but also helped her decide on the gifts, and food being given to the employees for their hard work.

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

• I learned that organizing a special event isn't always the easiest because you try to please everyone as best you can because as manager you need to know how to give a little bit of something to everyone. For example our house Christmas party. We have to try and please everyone's needs. I honestly learned to communicate well with others with the help of not only my mentor but everyone who works there. I get experience with talking to the customers and trying to do as much as I can with the staff.

3.  Your third interview will be a 10 question interview related to possible answers for your EQ. Who do you plan to talk to and why?

• I plan to get two sides of the story hopefully. A managers view of how to manage a restaurant and an employers view of how they believe a restaurant should be managed. If I am not able to interview these two people I will definitely interview the manager of a family friend's restuarant.
