Mardi Mentor

After just recently meeting with my mentor, David Jacobs, I have learned much from him about business communication just by the way he communicates with us. It’s easy to see that he is a very successful person who knows his way around the business world. Personally, I am grateful to have been presented with such a great mentor who knows exactly what to do in bad situations whether he must be serious or merely having a good time. He also taught us how important it is too be able to communicate with your client. Jacobs stated when taking a client to a steak restaurant only to realize that he was a vegetarian. I found this humorous because as he told us before, you should always know every detail about your client whether it is a key person or not, communication is important and is only done successfully with more than one person.

I recall during the Networking event for the business students where I learned from several different executives about employment in accounting and finance. From the information gathered, I decided that I would probably be interested more in accounting because it allows you to work in multiple surroundings in business rather than finance that focuses on banks. Although I have not yet decided, I am still putting a lot of thought into what I am going to do with my life.

Mardi Gras is important to New Orleans because it gives the city its life. Aside from Bourbon Street, Mardi Gras brings both locals and tourist from all over the country to experience the fun that New Orleans has to offer. I myself have experienced New Orleans parades my entire life and still look forward to Mardi Gras to live it up some more. As usual, I mainly intend to avoid getting arrested or living it up a bit too much because then you will wake up in the morning and not realize where you are.
