I was able to watch Catherine Goodman, a graduate of USU, present on Friday, January 16 at the Alumni House on campus. I went as an extra credit assignment for a class, but left with very valueable tips on life and balancing your career. Mrs. Goodman came from a little town in Utah and had to work petty jobs to get her education. She majored in English with a minor in French, but her career path lead her to obtain different jobs, including work in marketing and PR. She is now the National Marketing Director of the company she works for out of Salt Lake. She presented some useful tips about how to have a successful career and I'll leave you with some of my favorites!
*Don't try to control life, rather, bloom where you are planted
*Assume you are as smart as everyone else, because you probably are
*The greatest satifsfaction comes from helping others
*Find mentors who can also be friends
*Don't be afraid to ask for things- you may actually get them
*Do the jobs no one else wants to do
*Know what you know, and know what you don't know
*Don't be afraid of being promoted- any monkey can be taught any skill
"Life has a funny way of helping you out."
