Career Exploration: Impression Management 11/24/09

On November 24th i attended a career exploration workshop entitled “Impression Management”. This workshop was aimed to help students realize how important first impressions are when attending job interviews and speaking to professors. Although some of the information was not new to me, i felt it did help me to realize how important first impressions are. I felt the speaker did a good job of trying to take us outside of our comfort zone. He made sure most of the students in the room participated and he even made us find partners we have never spoken to before. Although many of us chose to partner up with friends, I found it a good attempt. He made us list some problems we have encountered this semester and how we can solve them for next semester. This workshop met my expectations and i believe every student at Baruch should attend it.
