In the elevator ride of life, all trips (good or bad and up or down) must come to an end. I hope our journey in elevator etiquette has brought you to the top floor. But take one step further, young padawan. One final law must become part of your rulebook before you leave this part of your Job-Humorous life for the next.
Yes. The Days of Exiting the Elevator have arrived.
This week's topic: "Exiting"
Ladies First
Gentlemen should allow ladies to exit the elevator first unless you are blocking the doors.
The “My Floor” Rule
In a crowded elevator, when there are others between you and the door, announce that the elevator has arrived at your floor and excuse yourself while making your way through the crowd. Pushing is discouraged.
Get Out of the Way
When standing between someone trying to exit and the door, do your best to move out of the way for them. If necessary, exit the elevator, allow them to leave and re-board.

Experiential Spotlight
Thrift Ninja:
Why did you decide to apply for a Finstad Grant?
We saw an opportunity in the market. It was a chance to grow out skills, while working with some great people.
What is the venture that you are working on?
Thrift Ninja, we buy designer and vintage clothing at thrift stores and sell it at a reasonable mark-up on E-bay.
What is the best part about running your own venture?
Pretending to be big-shot fashion industry execs. There is nothing like the feeling of putting all your creative energy into a product, tempering it with a bit of strategic marketing, and convincing people that they like it enough to buy it.
What are the challenges?
How do you balance class, homework, intramurals, friendships, a demanding business and beautiful, intelligent St. Olaf women? We still haven’t found the answer. Other than that, every time we look at an article of clothing we have to think: Who would buy this? Why would they? How would they find it on E-bay? Is it undervalued?
What advice would you give to anyone considering applying for a grant?
Really put a lot of effort into researching your market size and how you will reach your niche.
How do you see this experience being useful in your life after college?
We see this as the beginning to a life-long path of entrepreneurship. It is more than just a talking point on a resume, it is a life-path. Employers have been asking us: Why do you want to work for us? You should be starting your own company.
