The first person I interviewed was my aunt Esmeralda Vargas
(domain). I’m currently doing an internship in her company which is a travel
agency called “SchuVar Tours”. She is a very hyperactive person and very fun to
work with. She created the company with her other siblings and other friends in
the family. To be honest, this is exactly the type of job I would like to have
in the future just because it is a very fun and interesting job. What I also
like about my aunt Esmeralda is that she is very compromised with her
job/company and that is something I really want in the future. I obviously
found this person because I see her everyday at work. Including this person in
my network enhaces the ability to exploit an opportunity because she can open
many doors for me in the future.
The person who is an expert on my market would have to be
the right hand of my aunt, Argelia Caamaño. She has been working with my aunt for
20 years and she definitely knows about the whole tourism industry. I believe
she is targeting the market with similar product services because she knows
just as much as the domain. For the past two months, I have been working on the
side with her and she is very intelligent. She has done a lot for me. In the
sense that she teaches me a lot of things form the industry. Including this
person in my network enhances my ability to exploit an opportunity because she
can definitely help me in the future once I graduate.
An important person who is a supplier to my industry would
have to be John Gonzalez. He is in charge of selling us all the airplane
tickets, meaning that we buy him the tickets for our clients. I contacted him
through Argelia recommended me that I should talk to him because he could be a
great input in my career in the future. John showed me how to buy and reserve
tickets. I will be including him in my network to enhance my ability to exploit
an opportunity because he will make my understanding more open.
To be honest, I don’t think this experience will shape how I
participate in any future networking events. This was just like any other task
about other people. The only thing this experience was different was that I
didn’t have to interview anyone for this. I had to do it on my own, which is
better.
These are great contacts, but I don't see how they relate to your phone idea directly. I haven't kept up with your blog personally, so maybe it's just I don't have the whole picture from what you wrote in this one assignment. I looked at your elevator pitch and was able to see what your idea was, though.
