A report on why business competitions are awesome
With the risk of sounding a bit dramatic, it is almost a crime for a business student not to attend at least one business competition. The experiences gained there, the amazing networks acquired and the confidence gained from it will have a great impact on your personal development. You might not think it’s worth the time and effort to prepare for it and miss out on your coursework but it is something one needs to experience in order to judge.
Hello world!!!
Sunday, February 28th, 2010Allow us to introduce ourselves, our blog, and what we’ll be talking about in it. First and foremost, we are Polina and Alexandra. We are the new Marketing Assistants/Ambassadors for Kent Round One – the UoK student enterprise centre that provides you with all the great opportunities to help you get the most from your time at Kent.
We are both second year students at the University of Kent, working towards a BBA in Business Administration. After being involved in a variety of events, competitions, challenges, summer placements, business enterprises, charities and societies we have decided that it is a great time to start sharing all our knowledge and experience gained so far with YOU.
Our initial plans are to keep a schedule that keeps you informed about all the enterprise events happening at Kent and beyond and raise awareness about the new, emerging student businesses:
- Monday’s focus will be the “Business Monday”. A weekly post which will keep you aware of the news and events planned for that week, followed by a rap-up of the past events and their outcome.
- Friday will be a grab bag. Some things, some interviews with local movers and shakers, some features on things that we have done or seen, or some event focused posts where we talk about a networking event, conference or something of that sort.
So, we hope that you will read. We hope that you will comment. We hope that you will send us some of your ideas about your business hopes and dreams, likes and dislikes and things that you think should be featured in this blog. And also, while you’re at it, please take the time to read our fellow blogger: Andrew Davison.
We’ll be talking to you soon,
Alexandra and Polina
