Going into college I wasn’t nervous to actually start my four years,but, what was to come after them. I didn’t know how I was going to used my degree to find a job. If I did find a job how do I act on an interview? what do I wear ? What kind of questions will I be asked? Do I need a resume? What do I put on a resume? My scruples were eased when I found out the new friends I made at school had the same concerns. We wanted to know how we could us Baruch as a helpful resource. I was told that I could go to the career center and set up a mock interview with someone who knew everything about the adult-job world. Luckily my friend works at the center and was able to give me my interview. I brought in a resume in which I included my past experiences, work ethic,resources,etc. I was then asked a series of questions on my availability, my past experiences, why I wanted to work there and what other interests I had. I was confused why a job would want to know what I enjoyed to do outside of work. It turns out certain jobs like to see that a person does not make their life centered around work. The mock interview was extremely helpful and assuaged my uneasiness about going out to find a job.
