Snapchat in 50 States! Ep. 34: Impression 5 Science Center, Lansing, Mich.
State 34 of Chris Strub's 50-state, 100-day adventure was Michigan, where Chris stopped in Lansing at the Impression 5 Science Center.
- - - - - - - - - -
In the summer of 2015, Chris completed a solo, 50-state, 100-day journey to raise unprecedented awareness for approximately 60 youth organizations around the United States. Chris traveled more than 21,000 miles -- including 14,000+ by car -- over 100 days, in an unsponsored, self-funded solo effort to amplify the conversation about volunteer opportunities nationwide.
Chris's quest was covered by more than 35 news outlets around the United States, including FOX 5 NY, Newsday, ABC 6 Philadelphia, The Lansing Journal, The Montgomery Advertiser, The Peoria Journal Star, the Lowell Sun and many more. Chris worked directly with thousands of youths, bringing countless smiles and memories to children in need from coast to coast. Chris's book, 50 States, 100 Days: The Book is available now on Amazon.

Michigan: Lansing, Capital Building
The first Michigan State Capitol was located in Detroit, and was relocated to Lansing in 1847, due to the need to develop the western portions of the state and for easy defense from British troops stationed in Windsor, Ontario.
The present capitol building, preceded by a temporary wood frame structure, was dedicated in January 1879, and is designed in a Neoclassical style, more specifically the Italianate style.
Starting with the first floor and continuing to the third, black and white floor tiling is made of Vermont marble and limestone. The exception is the floor of the rotunda which is composed of 976 blocks of translucent glass. The blocks vary in size so that when viewed from the upper floors, they appear to form a bowl which mirrors the dome above.
The rotunda rises 160 feet to an opening at the top of the inner dome. Called the oculus, or eye of the dome, it provides a glimpse into the vastness of the universe, represented by a starry sky.
The public viewing galleries for the House of Representatives and Senate Chambers are located on the third floor, and open to the public.
Capitol Building Lansing Mi.
Michigan's award-winning Capitol Building. Designed by Elijah E. Myers, one of the foremost architects of public buildings during the Gilded Age (1865-1914), construction of the Capitol Building took six years and contains over nine acres of hand-painted surfaces. The building was dedicated to the citizens of Michigan in 1879.

SUMMARY
--------------------
First, what not to do…
Before I dive into how I would spend my five minutes, let’s cover what not to do. It's the biggest mistake people make when they go to job fairs.
It’s the same issue I covered in The Number 1 Reason Why You Do Not Get Hired. It’s the same reason you don't get called back after a job fair.
It’s spending your time trying to get out everything there is to know about you, what you think are the highlights of your career (or studies), what you think are your best attributes, and what you think are your most desired skills.
Big mistake.
You spend too much time sharing and don’t know whether that’s what the employer needs to know!
How do you know what the employer seeks?
Try this…
Waltz up to the booth (or person or whoever looks like someone who knows what they’re doing), and say…
“Hi. My name’s Frankie Fabulous. I'd love to share a little bit about myself and learn about your company. Before I do that, could you tell me what you're looking for in an entry-level candidate?”
If you’re a professional…
“Hi. My name’s Susie Sensational. Could you tell me what the most important skills are in [insert whatever position it is you’re looking to attain]?”
Give them a minute or two to share that insight with you. They’ll go on with…
“Well, we're looking for somebody with this kind of background or these kind of skills or these kind of traits.”
You’ll hear a bunch of different stuff like detail-oriented, great communication skills, engineering students, so on and so forth.
Now, you’re a salesperson…
Collect the insight. Then, dive into your remaining 2-3 minutes with exactly how you match exactly what they’re looking for!
As soon as you leave, they’ll be thinking boy, that John Smith…he seemed to match exactly what we needed. We need to call him back.
A gold star…
Most booth people need to jot notes on your resume because they can’t possibly remember everyone.
As soon as you walk away, they scratch on your resume numbers or stars or whatever.
He’s a 2. She’s a 5. Give him a silver star. Give her a gold star. You get the picture.
And, you get a star from me for watching. Thanks!

The 2017 Ideas Conference
While it’s early in the Trump administration, it’s clear that progressives will need to resist and respond aggressively every single day. It is in this spirit of resistance that progressives will be able to protect the gains we’ve made in the past eight years, and work toward further progressive change in the future.
Charting a path for progressives in 2017 and into the future is one of our highest priorities at the Center for American Progress. The Ideas Conference brings together national leaders of the progressive cause. This daylong conference will be our signature event of the year. We will host leading elected officials, thought leaders, movement leaders, and others to discuss their ideas to move the country forward and address the needs of all Americans, covering topics from economics to energy, national security to the rise of the Resist movement.
Attendance at this event is by invitation only.
