I have been so incredibly busy that I have not had much time to blog--sorry :o( I do have some great things that are going on in my life right now. First, my research got accepted to IOOB conference in San Diego. I will be leaving NEXT FRIDAY. I am really nervous and very excited all at the same time. I haven't dont any big conference presenting before. I have presented a poster in my undergrad but that's about it. As a result, I am extremely excited for this opportunity. My research is on Dialect Bias in Job Selection--not the typica Dialect though. The "Dialect" I am most concerned with is the type of non-standard english that is used by individuals from generation Y--similar to "slang". Generation Y accounts for 70 million people in the United States. Generation Y is also known as millennials. If you are reading this blog, most likely you fall into this category as well.




I recently started a new internship. I actually am doing two internships simultaneously to really get a good grasps of Human Resources. For one internship I am the HR coordinator and the other internship I do all aspects of HR but mainly focus on recruiting and interviewing potential candidates that have an emphasis in sales.  Within the next month I will be doing a project to implement something new in the organization. I really enjoy my internship. Everday I meet someone new. I have a wonderful  boss and supervisor which makes my time here extremely enjoyable. I am very committed to the organization that I am in. This spring I will start applying for a job that is more aligned with my career goals. I am looking forward to use my skills and apply it to what I have learned in my classes.

I just wanted to get a chance to update where I am in my life. I will make sure to update everyone on my experience in CA--until next time--stay blessed
