SAM Members at the SJSU Day of Service - Dave Cole - Jay Patel - Anna Mendez - Cecilia Melgar - Hiwat AbebeYou probably couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day to spend in the city of San Jose - and that’s just what a few of us SAM members did today to help out our community. The 2nd Annual San Jose State University Day of Service kicked off Friday, April 25th, and SAM was in attendance with several members - Jay Patel, Hiwat Abebe, Dave Cole, Cecilia Melgar, and Anna Mendez.

2nd Annual Day of Service - Guadalupe Park CleanupFor this year’s event, we were chosen to help clean up the river area by the Guadalupe Park Riverwalk, stretching all the way from Highway 280 down to HP Pavilion. Sure we got a little dirty, but the results of our efforts were well worth the while - we filled an entire pickup truck bed with trash that we collected down just one small stretch of the river. It’s amazing how much garbage collects that we don’t even notice!

SAM Members at the 2nd Annual SJSU Day of ServiceAfter we finished our clean up efforts, we returned to San Jose State for an afternoon barbeque, as well as some fun and games. Overall, it was a very worthwhile event and we’re proud to represent not only the SAM organization, but also our university and the community we call our home. Make sure to keep an eye out for another event next year!

Review: How to Build Wealth Workshop

Professor Carroll Buck speaking at SAM SJSU How to Build Wealth Workshop EventToday’s How to Build Wealth Workshop was a great event that gave students the opportunity to stop thinking like workers and start thinking like investors. Carroll Buck provided a great summary of the keys to value and wealth creation, and provided several real-life examples for getting started right out of college.

Central to his discussion was thinking about ways to discover and build value. His three suggestions were to find ways to FIND value, CREATE value, and HOLD value.

Review: Interview Skills Workshop

Interview Skills WorkshopWednesday, March 12, 2008 - After the Job Fair Success workshop, and the Job Fair, it was a perfect conclusion to this track of courses to have an interview skills workshop, brought together again by the SJSU Career Center.

Central to the Interview Skills Workshop included several handouts, as well as information about what to expect in a modern interview, and how to properly prepare for those tough interview questions. Probably the best handout of the event featured a range of tough and commonly-heard interview questions, and then we took a few minutes to practice our interview skills with one another.

Overall, this was another great workshop to help us understand the ins-and-outs of interviewing, and most people in the room seemed eager and ready for their upcoming career opportunities. Thanks again to the Career Center for providing the time and resources for this workshop.
