Over the break, I completed my original work and had my first few mentor visits. My original work altered over the process of my research since there was little data on specific companies that had failed. I changed the major structure of my original work from a research study across many businesses to a case study of three specific business. I ended up being able to go into more depth in my analysis of the businesses which allowed me to have a deeper understanding of my topic. My first mentor visit went well and I discussed both mine and my mentor’s expectations were discussed during this time and I was able to meet most of the employees at WorldLink. My next two mentor visits revolved around contracts and immigration law.
This past week in ISM I have prepared for the Research Showcase and updated my portfolio and website. I spent the weekend putting together my poster board and arranging all of the materials that would be displayed. I made sure that all of my research assessments, blogs, and original work was included on my website. Finally, I finished my physical portfolio by printing out all the required papers. I needed to reprint my cover pages since I could now include my mentor’s name.
