This marks the third semester that Hall has come to speak with the freshman college students. His presentation teaches students about money management skills including how to open and balance a checking account, how to budget for a family, saving for retirement early, investing in stocks and how to handle credit cards, among other topics.
Hall also speaks about job interviewing, and shares his experiences as a manager on what managers look for in an interview. Students did mock interviews with one another, and learned how to answer interview questions properly.
I really appreciated Mr. Hall's presentation, said BSCTC student Zachary Wright. He helped me learn that I need to start thinking about saving now for the future and not waste money. Also, the job interview information was very helpful. I think his presentation helps college students to deal with real-world issues that we face at our age.
