Components of Interactive Choices

International Students: Your Opportunities in Canada
Approximately 25% of the students in the Commerce Program are international students, a figure which does not include permanent residents who have migrated to Canada. Without the green card, the prospects of working in Canada after graduating is slim, unless international students are exposed to the firms and unions that offer such options. Interactive Choices by Maurice Choy will link you to these people!

Women in the Business World
It has been discovered that approximately 1000 Commerce Programs students (out of approximately 1500) are female students, and yet women are still not key players in the corporate boardrooms in North America. This is evident in an article by the National Post on February 20th, 2004 entitled "Women Still Shut Out of Boardroom" by Elizabeth Church (click here to read the article). With such an strong one-sided workforce going into the commerce world, what changes and opportunities will surface in the next 2-5 years? Will there be a social and corporate governance implications? Interactive Choices by Maurice Choy offers what women can achieve in the future!

Non-Verbal Communication: Physical and Facial Expressions
Ever wondered what your hands and body should be doing when talking to a recruiter, your boss, or even your professor? Your actions and your facial expressions tells a lot about you, your attitude and your sincerity. Interactive Choices by Maurice Choy grants you the opportunity to master that communication technique. 

Your International Commerce Opportunities 
Ever wanted to travel WHILE still getting a steady income? Ever wanted to see the world and meet new people WHILE learning new aspects of your career? Interactive Choices by Maurice Choy opens up the doors for your international exploration!

Fashion Show: Dress to Succeed
The infamous saying of "You are what you wear" is especially accurate in the commerce world that we are headed towards. The type of suit, shirt, shoes and for some, the tie, are signs that executives look at in determining a person's level of professionalism, diligence and perfectionism. Interactive Choices by Maurice Choy can teach you how to dress to succeed.

Teamwork: An Interactive Solution
Continuing the efforts of the teamwork seminar, this event builds on the success of Hugh Tang and Yung Kim. An additional aspect will be the main focus of the event: Interactiveness. Gone are the days where you-just-sit-and-listen seminars, as the Interactive Choices by Maurice Choy vows to bring an entertaining yet productive direction in teamwork activities. 

Art of Negotiation II: Speaking the Same Language 
Another successful event by Hugh Tang and myself, Interactive Choices by Maurice Choy could bring you the second installment of the Art of Negotiation series. Again, this event will encompass interactive activities to bring a new face to what we call "seminars."

Linking You with the new Commerce Career Centre at Woodsworth
With the expected opening of a Commerce Career Centre in September 2004 at the new Woodsworth residence, it is vital that CSA keeps a close relationship with the centre for the benefit of the students. This will ensure that students are kept well up-to-date with job opportunities, firm information sessions and recruiting skills needed for your career success. Interactive Choices by Maurice Choy brings you this link!

Close Correspondence with ASUT, UFA, UTMA, ODA and Other Associations
Keeping in line with the platform, these associations offer students fantastic opportunities in their respective fields. Students can benefit enormously from the efforts and hardwork of the executives of these associations. With that, since the Commerce community is large in numbers, unity is essential and vital to the success of our program. 

Close Correspondence with YOU!
Saving the best for last, YOU are the number one priority in Interactive Choices. This association (and therefore the position of Career Development Director) exists solely to serve the Commerce community. It is your career, therefore, you decide what is best for your future path. Of the components of Interactive Choices, YOU decide the contents. I want to hear from you. You will be heard, and allow me to start by offering my friendship.
