Mentor Blog #2

One of the most important things that i have learned thus far from my mentor is the importance of networking and etiquette. Mr.Morgan always stresses the importance of networking to us and always tells us how it is a key aspect in the business world. Once you meet people and make connections you get their information so that if need be you will be able to stay in touch with them and use that contact to your advantage one day. Another thing that we learned from Mr.Morgan was etiquette and how you have to act accordingly to your surroundings. Because Mr.Morgan works in the marketing industry he is often times entertaining clients and taking them out to dinner and different locations in the New Orleans area. He explained to us that every client is different and that he always likes to get a feel of the client and their likes and dislikes before he takes them out.
One job that i have learned that i might like is one in the marketing field. I'm not sure of a specific job in that field but i have developed a certain interest in marketing after discussing it with my mentor.
I am most looking forward to the parades. I have heard so much about the different parades, floats, and festivities that go on during Mardi Gras and i am excited to experience all of it. I want to definitely avoid getting lost in the crowds of rowdy, inebriated people.
Mardis Gras is important to New Orleans because the Mardi Gras holidays play a pivotal role in New Orleans' early history. It is a perfect representation of New Orleans Culture.
