So this week, we're still continuing our discussion about how to conduct ourselves at our various places of employment and/or internship. One student mentioned that he had watched a particular reality show, and one of the young ladies had taken off her shoes and put her feet on some piece of furniture in the employer's office. And when the employer confronted her, she was at a loss for words to explain her actions. He then went on to ask her if she would have behaved that way at the White House, and she said no, because it would have been disrespectful.
That got me to thinking: what about your employer? True, he's not running the country, but you must still maintain a level of professionalism and decorum. After all, the company hired you to not only fill a certain position, but to be an unspoken representative of the company (because believe it or not, customers are watching how employers and employees conduct themselves, which determines whether or not they feel comfortable doing business with that company again).
These issues will come up when and if you're ready to take your internship in the future, as well as the Business Placement Seminar before it (a very important seminar, I might add; it is chock full of very useful employment and interviewing tools).

Reading these kind of posts reminds me of just how technology truly is an integral part of our lives in this day and age, and I am fairly confident when I say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as memory gets less expensive, the possibility of downloading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could see in my lifetime.
