One of the most difficult interview questions to answer is “Tell me about yourself.”  It is awkward to think about what information the person is really hoping to hear.  It is important to be prepared to answer this question.  You also need to be able to answer this question when you meet someone with whom you want to network.  One way to prepare for this type of question and situation is to prepare a Personal Introduction.  This could also be called a 30 second commercial, 2 minute commercial, or elevator speech.  The implication is that you have about 30 seconds to 2 minutes while riding an elevator with someone to tell them about yourself.  So what are you going to say? Things that you may want to include in your personal introduction/commercial: Education Qualifications Job related skills Experience Career goals You will want to write this out and add it to your portfolio.  Be sure to review your personal introduction/commercial on your way to a job fair, interview, networking event.  You will also want to think about ways to modify your commercial depending on the situation.  You may want to focus on one or two things like education and career goals.  You want to be prepared to answer the question of “Tell me about yourself” or “What do you do?” but you do not want to sound rehearsed and programmed like you are reading a paper.  It needs to sound natural and comfortable so you want to be comfortable with what you have written.Â

After you have completed the regression model in Module 1, you can start this assignment by creating a new tab in this Module file. Regression analysis is widely used in finance research. One of the applications is estimating a firm’s beta. You have learned the concept of beta from Principles of Finance. Beta measures a firm’s systematic risk, it measures how a company’s stock return react to the broad market index’s return at the same time. If beta is higher than 1, it indicates that a firm is riskier than the market, and it will yield higher than average return when market is up and lower than average return when market is down. To roughly measure beta, we can use regression analysis, by regressing a firm’s historical return on market index’s historical return simultaneously. Let’s estimate the beta of Cisco (Ticker: CSCO), listed on Nasdaq. Use Yahoo Finance, download Cisco’s historical monthly stock prices for the last 10 years (Time period 1/1/2011 – 12/31/2020) and calculate holding period returns every month. Holding period return = (Ending price / Beginning price) – 1 Use Yahoo Finance, download Nasdaq index’s historical monthly prices for the past 10 years (Time period 1/1/2011 – 12/31/2020) and calculate holding period returns every month. Holding period return = (Ending price / Beginning price) – 1 Run a regression. Y variable is Cisco’s holding period returns. X variable is Nasdaq’s holding period returns during the same period.Â
