On Octber 22nd, 2009 I went with my friend to the career planning workshop. There, they discussed what Baruch options and assistance Baruch students have in finding their niche in the workplace. Baruch seems to be a school full of very work oriented students, so I would see this resource as being utilized very often. Although I have a job now, if i were to be looking for an office position i would most likely go through the Starr Career Development center.
The workshop was not very informative. Our freshman workshop teacher had previously shown us the starr website, so i was aware of their services and options. The workshop was too long, over two hours, when the information could have easily been said in thirty minutes. It left my friend and i worrying if we had enough time to get lunch before class. Furthermore, the speaker had an obnoxious tone and was quite condescending, which did not seem to engage the students.
