Tim Elmore Article

Tim Elmore wrote an article pertaining to rejection therapy. You can view the article by going to this link http://growingleaders.com/. He first uses the example of Jia Jiang in China, she takes a risk to become one of the fortune 500 companies in the world. Jia knows she will face rejection through her journey, so she takes it head on by asking people outrageous questions to face the rejection. However, on some of the outrageous questions she got an answer of yes. Tim Elmore uses this example to portray how students today do not want to face rejection but run from it. Tim Elmore and Jia Jiang come up with the idea of rejection therapy for students to face the problem head on. This allows the students to become comfortable and able to accept rejection from those in the world. Throughout my year long interview or internship as you would call it, I will go the extra mile to show how passionate I am for this career field. I will show how appreciative I am for this opportunity with my mentor, and the experience I will gain from this job not only in the career but with relations to people. I will make new connections I would have dreamed of meeting in my life through accomplishing my lifelong dream. This opportunity is the first stepping stone into the career of my dreams. In this article I have provided the link to, I see this as a large problem in my generation and generations to come. We are too scared to see what the real world has to offer us, and we are too afraid to accept the fact we are all to fail in life. We all want to be right, but are scared to accept the fact of rejection from peers.

With a mentorship I look to gain experience in the field of my interest, and knowledge over the topic I am willing to study. I look to know what I am talking about before i get to the real actual job, so I am an informed individual who knows what he is talking about to his peers in the future. I will ask questions to my mentors to understand the topic we are looking at or the object we are working on. I will listen to the descriptions of what I am required to do while I am on the job, and fulfill the work they ask me to complete to best of my capability. This mentorship will prepare me for the future because i plan to fly for the United States Air Force in my future no matter where I attend college. However, I do plan to attend the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado, so this mentorship would prepare with prior knowledge on small air craft we might learn about in class. I will be prepared prior to class on the topic of such air craft.

Impressions can make or break a relationship with an individual you have just met for the first time in your life. If you don't treat them with the respect they deserve, the person most likely will not like you as an individual. You must be prepared to answer questions about yourself, and to ask questions pertaining to them. Dress appropriately to impress your mentor or boss of the job even when there may be a casual day you can dress. You must seem interested and positive about the job, so the mentor knows you are excited to get started soon on the job. Do not just answer the boss' questions, but ask them questions as well and engage in conversation with the individual who you are trying to impress. Being yourself, looking the person in the eye and sounding confident in your speech is key to a great first impression on the first  meeting with someone.
