Internships

So Emily and I both have some fantastic internship opportunities right now. For Emily's major she has to work in a hospital for six months starting next January 2012 and it ends in July 2012. She could have been sent to St. George, Provo, American Fork, Murray, Salt Lake City, and Idaho Falls, Idaho. Luckily Emily is staying close and will be at Provo hospital, which is right down the street from BYU. It is an unpaid internship but she can pick up 20 hours a week and will get paid for those hours.

As of right now I am working with a consulting company called RPM LLC. It is a lot of fun and I have been creating a blog and putting posts about entrepreneurs and such on the blog. Go check it out it is for a company called DooBizz. I have been looking for another internship though because I would rather be doing something else and I got an email about an internship opportunity here in Orem for a startup company called Vukii Watersports. I sent my resume in the day I received the email and two days later I got a phone call from Mark Webb who did a phone interview with me. He then told me that I would be interviewing with him personally last Thursday and it went super well. There were three parts of the interview, the first part was a behavioral interview, then I had to take a test that quizzed my problem solving skills, and the last part was on the computer and how well I could follow directions. He emailed me a couple of days later and I then set up another interview with the main guy for yesterday and it went really well. What we did though was more of he explained to me what my responsibility would be and what characteristics he was looking for and then instructed me to go home and think about if this is something I really want to do. If it is something I want to do then I need to email Mark Webb by Monday saying yes I do and then we will go from there. I am excited and I hope it moves forward because it would be an awesome opportunity. The company has no financial models, no budgets, no accounting, and no forecasts. Basically I would be doing all of that, there are seven employees and they are all engineers and I would be the only business guy. I would be over all of the finances, which is a huge responsibility but a great learning experience which is something that I am very interested in doing. I will keep ya'll posted on what happens with this opportunity.

Hiking the Y

So I am about to post a couple of posts here explaining what has been happening with Emily and I since we got married in May ha ha. To start off Emily, Danielle (Emily's cousin), and I hiked the Y last Saturday before the 2nd session of General Conference. It was a lot of fun and the first time I have hiked the Y since I came and visited Cari and Katie when they were still going to school here at BYU/UVSC. We took a couple of pictures and Emily and I laid upside down on the Y and it was freaky ha ha.
