This was my favorite workshop so far. I’ve always been interested in learning more about the STARR Career Development Center, and what they do to help students. This was the perfect opportunity for me to learn just that. The presentation was very informative. The first presenter gave general information, such as how we can create our resumes and get them reviewed, do mock interviews, and gain opportunities through STARR search. She also explained the whole process of taking an internship course for credit.
There were three visitors from McGraw Hill who spoke about the different branches of their company, and the variety of internships that they have to offer. They also showed a short video to show how their interns enjoyed their experiences with them. Besides covering the basics of how their internships are, they also mentioned a few tips for writing a good resume, and dressing appropriately.
On the whole the presentation was very educational and informative. I like how the presenters gave advice on how to land an internship, and how to make the most out of it. The presenters were really a pleasure to listen to, and I learned a lot more than I expected to.
