    Insights: Volume 4, Issue 3 As We Close Out The Year: We will continue to Serve As we talk with each of you, we are so happy that most of you and your families have been well and safe during this pandemic. As you know, about half of our team is working in the office and the rest of the team is working from home. The plan is to continue this setup for now, so if someone in the office becomes sick the team members in the office, who may have been exposed, will quaran- tine at home for two weeks. We will have the office cleaned, and then the team members currently at home will come to the office so everything continues to run as it has since we instituted this practice in March. We are continuing our annual client reviews via telephone or Zoom, whichever is your preference. We appreciate you and are available to answer your questions, provide guidance, and assist in any way that may be helpful to you. Please feel free to reach out to us. Like most people, we are looking forward to the end of 2020 and a new beginning in 2021. It has been a very unusual year with the Coronavirus, many businesses being closed, a lot of political stress, cultural unrest, and other issues. We will be happy to see no more political ads and spend less time with the 24 hour news cycle. While we have faced great challenges, we have a lot to be thankful for this year. We live in a great country.

  • Making the Most of Your Internship Or Co-Op Juliette Mcdonald
    Making the Most of Your Internship or Co-op Juliette McDonald “I tell you and you forget. I show you and you remember. I involve you and you understand.” — Eric Butterworth Congratulations! You’ve landed an internship or co- op job and it wasn’t easy. Now what? Many students make the mistake of assuming that they are done and all they have to do now is show up for work, sit back and relax. “It’s just an internship or co-op, it’s not a real job.” Right? This is far from the reality of today’s student work experiences. Your presence at the work site is more important and meaningful to employers than you might think. Employers in many instances rely on the additional resources and energy gleaned from their student employees. They look forward to your arrival. As an intern or co-op, this is also your opportunity to absorb as much as possible from this experience. Keep in mind this opportunity could provide practical, hands-on experience in your major/field of study, open the door to future employment, and serve as a future job reference. This can be a win- win situation for you and the employer. However, you must do your part in making this a reality. No pressure intended, but you could make the difference in whether employers consider other students from What’s Inside Florida State University. Practical Tips for Success ..............................2 You’ve heard the old cliché, “you only get out of it what you put into it.” This is a very true statement.

  • Talking to Strangers: the Use of a Cameraman in the Office and What
    Running Head: TALKING TO STRANGERS 1 Talking to Strangers The Use of a Cameraman in The Office and What It Reveals about Communication Sarah Stockslager A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Fall 2010 TALKING TO STRANGERS 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Lynnda S. Beavers, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Robert Lyster, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ James A. Borland, Th.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date TALKING TO STRANGERS 3 Abstract In the television mock-documentary The Office, co-workers Jim and Pam tell the cameraman they are dating before they tell their fellow co-workers in the office. The cameraman sees them getting engaged before anyone in the office has a clue. Even the news of their pregnancy is witnessed first by the camera crew. Jim and Pam’s boss, Michael, and other employees, such as Dwight, Angela and others, also share this trend of self-disclosure to the cameraman. They reveal secrets and embarrassing stories to the cameraman, showing a private side of themselves that most of their co-workers never see. First the term “mock-documentary” is explained before specifically discussing the The Office. Next the terms and theories from scholarly sources that relate the topic of self-disclosure to strangers are reviewed. Consequential strangers, weak ties, the stranger- on-a-train phenomenon, and para-social interaction are studied in relation to the development of a new listening stranger theory.
