so happy to see alexis bledel in a new film
Love collecting autographs and would love to have this in my collection
In “Tips for Nailing Your Job Interview” it described perfectly everyone’s fear of being interviewed. Whether we all like it or not interviews are a vital part of getting any job or occupation. It was very useful to see questions to help people before they begin the interview process.
Along with more interview prep, “What to Wear? An Intern’s Dilemma,” I enjoyed reading what to wear and how to look presentable. I, personally, would want to ask Alexis who her biggest influence is in her acting career, and whether she would be interested in a Gilmore Girls movie. Like myself, I need to see Luke and Lorelai get married and possibly, hopefully, see Jess (Milo Ventimiglia) appear in the movie also- just to tie up loose ends :)
I love all the blogs! Extremely useful!
In the blog, “So…What’s a Resume,” I found all the tips and tricks to be very useful and interesting. It’s nice to have a guide and what to write and how to write it. For example, keeping work history in chronological order, get volunteer opportunities if you do not have experience in your field of interest, or put in to your resume problem-action-result (PAR) statements.
The listed desired qualities are extremely helpful and should help to make a great resume for anyone and everyone.
Also, the blog on what an intern should wear was great! I really enjoyed it and it is very detailed and precise.
The tips on how to dress for being an intern were extremely useful and how to write a resume was very detailed and helpful for anyone writing a resume.Great blogs!
The qualities of a good resume and what it should say to whoever is reading it was helpful. Also, I enjoyed reading the tips on how to nail a job interview!
I love the idea of the behind the scenes look. Thank you
I hope to win, I love Gilmore Girls
I enjoyed the interview with Alexis and Zach Gilford. Can’t wait to see this movie! Thanks for the contest!!
I enjoyed the section on Resumes esp. the part where it talks about common mistakes:
The most common resume mistake is forgetting your Job Objective! Show a sense of direction in your resume so you can prove to the employers how familiar you are with that field. You need to be clear about your employment goals and customize your resume objective to whatever you are applying for.
It’s so hard to find the right way to make a resume and it’s always nice when you can find things to help you see your mistakes (common mistakes) and find the right ways to correct them!
I think my daughter deserves to win the prize for the “Post Grad” movie. Would you like to know why? My daughter and I have been fans of the Gilmore Girls for a couple of years now, we did not watch it when it was actually on air, but have since became huge fans. Two years ago, my sister purchased the entire series for us on DVD, since then we have watched it twice (the whole seven seasons) and now have started watching it a third time. I am a single mom, and my daughter, Hope, now sixteen, is the greatest kid I could ever ask for. She gets straigt A’s and has been, since forever, and is hoping to one day be an astronomer. I have always told her she could be whatever she wants to be, and hope that her dreams do come true. Alot like Lorelai always tells Rory she can be whatever she wants to be, and do whatever she wants to do, my daughter and I have quite a similar relationship. I love my kid with all my heart, and when we saw the previews for the new movie “Post Grad” with Alexis, we were really excited! We have been wishing that the series would maybe pick up an new 8th season, and when we saw the previews it reminded us so much of the show that we are so excited to go see it! So this is why I think my daughter deserves the prize! She is the best kid in the whole world, and I would never give her up for anything! Thank You! Becky Thompson
I liked the interview and how alexis seemed shy. Zach did most of the talking.
Gilmore Girls is one of my favorite shows, and Alexis Bledel’s new movie looks great. I really hope I win her autograph, I wrote fan letters to the cast, and I didn’t get any signatures.
I love the tips on how to dress!
A few great reviews that are helpful!
Very cool site! I loved how the blog posts reflected and referenced the themes of the movie – crafting a resume, dealing with job interviews and setbacks, maintaining friendships and relationships after graduation, finding your true passion in life, etc., and the trailer for the film looks very promising. I’ve been a big fan of Alexis since her “Gilmore Girls” days, and I’m also excited to see Michael Keaton and Jane Lynch as her parents — great casting!
Good resume tips!
I liked the “how to nail a job interview” section. I’ve liked Alexis since the Sisterhood movies.
What to wear for an internship was very useful and I enjoyed reading how a resume should be out together. The blogs were very well written and can be easily related to.
The tips and tricks on how an intern should dress is interesting to learn and very helpful. I also enjoyed reading the tips on how to write a resume and what qualities you (as an intern) should bring to the table.
The fears of being interviewed are so true!
The blog has lots of useful information for someone who’s looking for a job. Great tips, especially for a young graduate who may not have much experience with applying for and interviewing for a position.
I love behind the scences look.
I found the resume tips very useful, I plan on updated my resume and these tips will come in handy.
While you’re out in the world and forming new friendships, it could feel as if you are in a James Bond movie as a double agent because your older and newer friendships are drastically different. Your older friendships have history and millions of common experiences. With your newer friendships, you are still learning about one another and are starting a new chapter of your lives together. Eventually, you are going to have to be a bridge and bring both these groups together since they are both your closest friends.
The tips on how to write a resume were very useful.
I liked the tips on how to pick a major
I really enjoyed the “Life After High School: How To Maintain Your School Friendships” blog. It helps a lot with their tips. I’m a rising senior and over the past three years, I have realized how hard it is to keep friendships solid. I liked the technology tip. Of course, these days there is no excuse to not talk to friends :)
Helpful resume and interview tips.
I love the tip for “how to nail a job interview”
I like the inside look at this movie
Always thought that Alexis had great expressive eyes,adding to her acting skills. The add sure shows off her big blues.
I enjoyed the tips on how to dress for being an intern, great ideas! Thanks!
I saw a blog about how to write a good resume, and what a resume actually is in the first place.
I found out that everyone has a fear of interview!
All have a fear of interviewing.
Wonderful deatil on how to write a resume. This was my daughter’s favorite show. She is now entering her sophmore year in college and would love this!
I enjoyed the blog on how to pick a major. My daughter will soon be going to college and I know how difficult it is to choose a major at the beginning.
I thought the Life After High School: How To Maintain Your School Friendships post was very informative!
I saw resume tips
I found a lot of helpful tips in the blog post named So…What’s a Resume, Thanks for the chance!
i watched the trailer for Post Grad. it looks really good!
I loved the entry on choosing your major according to what you love. It’s very tempting to opt for a career path that will earn you lots of money (like medicine or law), but unless you’re truly passionate about what you do, you won’t really be “living” the way that you want to. I’ve always loved art and writing – in addition to them being my strengths, they’re what I love to do best on the planet! I’m working on a double-major for them right now, and I couldn’t be having more fun. ^_^ Thanks for touching on that point! It’s overlooked WAY too often!
I really found the resume blog post helpful! They listed some really great sites for helping you make your resume: resumewriters.co, resume-help.org/free_resume_examples.htm, and resumerabbit.com!
I found the info on resume’s to be very helpful. I’m currently in college but will need to build a resume when I graduate. So, this will come in handy. I love that alexis is in a new film. Can’t wait to go see it. After all it comes out the day before I turn 21.
well i found this out
Hey, my name is Michelle W., the official intern and blogger of “An Intern’s View From the Inside”. I’m a junior at University of California, Santa Cruz and I’ll be giving you an inside look at Fox Searchlight Pictures and their upcoming film Post Grad all summer.
The resume section was interesting. Thanks for the giveaway!
I found a lot of great resume tips.
I saw some great tips on interviewing in there, such as doing research on the company beforehand and asking some questions about it to show interest!
I really liked the Tips for Nailing Your Job Interview. I thought that it offered some really great tips, and I like the example of interview questions commonly asked, such as:
Why do you want to work here?
What are your greatest strengths? Weaknesses?
Do you have any questions for me about this organization?
There’s a lot of great tips on that site, and I’m really looking forward to the movie. Thanks for the chance!
