Week 30: Finance Strategy, Managing IT, Negotiations&Conflict Management, International Business and Strategic Implementation (Module 6 cont.)

Week 30 and module 6 is over. This week we had the IT Management test on Monday and papers due on Wednesday for both International Business and Negotiations and Conflict Management.

Thursday and Friday a large portion of the class headed to Toronto for a couple of days of info sessions the Business Career Center had arranged. These sessions were to help put students in touch with organizations that might be hiring MBAs every year or could not justify a coming to on campus recruiting.

I'm not sure how these events went since I got a call late Wednesday to go to Calgary for an interview with a major Oil & Gas Producer. So, I was off to the races Thursday to get to Calgary for a Friday morning interview. The company took care of all the details via a travel agent and I can submit all additional receipts for food and taxis. I took full advantage of the event and visited a few friends and dropped in on my former place of employment to say "hi". Good to see them all again!

Now I am back in Kingston getting ready for our winter gala! This is our big event the class has planned to celebrate how far we have come. In addition there are people that will be leaving on exchange after the Christmas break that we will not be seeing again since they will be completing their required credits on exchange. Bitter sweet, but it promises to be fun.

Next week we are starting and completing module 7! More on that in next weeks entry.
