Assignment 7: Secret of Socrates

The country club that I bartended last summer came under new management during my fall semester, therefore over the break I had to go and meet with the banquet manager, not so much to re-interview, but more to catch up and let them know what my summer schedule is looking like. The problem is, I am still trying to either get some sort of internship or at least pick up some shifts volunteering with a few different production companies and I do not know that official schedule yet. Through applying the "Secret of Socrates" from HTWFAIP, I asked the manager questions along the lines of "Don't you agree that it's especially difficult in these times to find a job?" and "don't you agree that building my resume is an important thing to do while still in school?" By asking questions like these, I got him to agree to put down a mock schedule for now until I can contact him with a more definite summer plan.
