Elevator Speech

Hi, my name is Michael Carpenter and I’m a student at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock with a major in website design and development seeking a position with a website design and management company. I have helped to create a website for a non-profit organization already and am continuing to learn the new developments with HTML and CSS. I work well with both clients and co-workers. I would enjoy knowing more about your company.

Active Listening

In class Monday, we discussed active listening. Since I had speech last year, I had a good idea of what it was and how important it is. Active listening allows the person speaking to feel like they really are being listened to and feel more comfortable speaking. While the listener is able to make a connection and able to understand the topic. This is very effective in a business setting because it allows for a stronger connection with who is speaking and a comfortable environment.
