This week in ISM I had my last ISM interview ever. ISM interviews have given me so many opportunities to grow intellectually as well as socially. Being able to see the daily workplaces of the people that are in the field that I strive to be in has made me more and more interested in going into those fields. Also, having to interview 12 strangers that know more than I do is very socially challenging and doing so has helped me develop confidence in my ability to make relationships with people that I can use throughout my life. My last interview was with Doug Stayman. He owns In Your Face Apparel. Mr. Stayman gave me a tour of his office and warehouse, and it seemed like he had given the tour hundreds of times. I later found out that he gives similar tours as part of his job when prospective clients come to visit to see if they wanted to use In Your Face as their supplier. I learned a lot from our interview about finding a niche and making sure that you have experience in some part of your future business. Also, Doug gave me some ideas on how to model my business with ideas like including a clause in independent contacts to prevents people from marketing individual service while working for Shoreline. It was a great way to close off my ISM interviews and I am excited for my mentorship.
