What I Learned at The MBA Consortium Networking Event

Last week, I attended the MBA Consortium (hosted by U of U)--by the way, you can totally say that in a British accent to make yourself sound totally awesome. Besides from being completely disappointed that it was in Layton (over an hour away) and that they didn't even offer my husband a discounted rate to attend (I dragged him to it because I didn't want to drive alone), I did take away some pretty interesting things.

1. I am not completely worthless. Okay, before anyone freaks out about how I don't value myself, what I mean, is that my major or what I do, is valued by employers.
2. Idle talk is not my strong point (but I am getting better).
3. I need better one-liners.
4. I need to figure out how to approach people cold turkey.
5. I need to figure out how to sneakily sneak my business card into the potential employers hand. 

On that note: 

Want to see my business card? 

Here it is in all it's glory...

Cute huh?

If any of you are interested in business cards, I can design them for the cheap. 

I have lots of design experience (after all, it is my hobby) and would love to extend my services to you. 

Overall, I enjoyed myself at the networking event. I do wish that I was better prepared through UVU, and understand how/why networking events are valuable.

However, the conversation was good, I felt extremely confident, and the cupcakes were rather delicious. I took 4 or 5 of them to my awesome husband who was waiting in the car.
