This was my job seeking BLOG, but I missed Blogging so much I decided to resurrect it, and keep it going. Once again I have made myself available to the market

Dennis Smith

Dennis writes a blog for the talent aquisition portion of T-Mobile. Yes he is a company flack, but he is a good kind of company flack. (And no, I am not trying to suck up to him for a fee account, job, or even the latest phone, although I would accept all 3). If you want to learn more about T-Mobile from the company side of talent aquisition, go to

Career Day

Wednesday, May 23, 2007

This week I had the pleasure of being included in a career day at Richardson Terrace Elementary. I spoke to 2 classes of 4th graders about what I do. I struggled with what to tell the class and put it in terms that they would understand. Corporate Finance is a foreign term to most 4th graders, and even further away for most of these students as they are from some lower economic backgrounds.

Based on the feedback I got from both my wife (a teacher in the school) and the classroom teachers, I must have gotten through to them. I now think we have a few kids who want to look up to being an accountant or financial analyst instead of a fireman or being in the building trades.

Now if only I could explain what it is I do to my own children.
