Career Exploration – October 22, 2009 – Club Hours
This workshop was the longest and the most helpful of all. Even though I was unable to pay attention throughout the entire time, I gained plenty of knowledge on how to apply for an internship. I knew that Baruch was able to find students internships but I did not know they helped us through the process as well. I have not really put any effort working on my resume and I learned that the resume is your first impression. The STARR career development center helps students though the entire process. I found this workshop very helpful out of all of them because if helped me find the perfect place where I can receive help on working on my resume. The speaker helped all of the students learn about the different types of internships and she even gave us a few sites and companies to look into. The only problem with this workshop was that it was very long. The speaker was overwhelming us with a lot of information that it was hard to grasp at points. This lead me to wander my mind elsewhere and trail off the topic. Besides that, I was able to take hold and understand key points on internships and they were very useful. I plan on making an appointment with the STARR career development center soon. Without the help of this workshop I would not have known what the STARR career development center is about or what it helps the students with.
