The one thing that teenagers are afraid to start – work. The work that I speak of is not homework, classwork, or any type of easy schoolwork. I’m talking about a career, an office job, a type of employment. This career exploration workshop that I attended had shown different aspects of searching for a job.
I had visited the STARR career website about a month ago in search for a job. I had not filled out a resume, nor had I been prepared to fully fill out my profile on the website; however, I did create an account and tried the search engine. I found it to be one of the best ways in finding a job. Not only does it give you a broad list of jobs, it also specifies which jobs you are eligible for depending on the information you input on your profile. Fortunately I have already found a job – currently employed at RR Donnelley Financial Services.
I found this workshop to be extremely beneficial. The STARR group had precisely went through procedures of searching for a job, writing a resume, and preparing for an interview. I found the process in writing a resume the most beneficial because it was slightly different from what I had in high school. The procedure that the STARR group showed us was a bit more detailed and “flashy.” I was able to think of more things to fill in on my resume after I attended this workshop. I would definitely attend more workshops in the future if needed.
