blog post #3

For my last blog assignment, I decided to go to the tech fair this past Thursday. The tech fair was a great place to learn about new start up companies an listen to ways these companies have grown and developed over the years. At the fair a few people gave some speeches and shared some insight on start ups and how to be to succeed with them. There was also a question and answer section which allowed and openned the floor to students with all different kinds of questions, concerns, and inquiries that we had. It was interesting to hear the questions some people had, and it was even more interesting to hear the answers the speaker gave, as he shed even more light on start up companies. Additionally, people from real start up companies were at the fair which made this a great opportunity to network and hopefully be hired by one of these companies. You were able to bring your resume and pitch yourself to these companies and show how you are interested and hopefully qualified to work in their particular company. The tech fair also provided food from the Hillel. This was especially convenient, because the fair took place at 12:30, so it was nice that they provided food for us. The last reason why this club was so useful was because, being that I’m in a club that works hands on with start up companies in Israel, it was also a great experience to see and hear, first hand, about start up companies in America. Although the market in the United States in very different than the market in Israel, start up companies all share many common and fundamental skills that you need to have in order to succeed. This fair was a very useful and an insightful fair. It provided a lot of knowledge about start ups and was a great opportunity to network.
