Basically we learned how to write a resume. Your name should stand out the most aside from your address, email and phone number. You should also avoid extra space as it can cause distractions. To prevent stutters and nervousness, be prepared and know plenty about yourself. The workshop also showed up how to make our two minute pitch and how to promote and advertise ourselves. Overall the workshop was great. It prepares us for our future job/career hunting days.

I’ll admit, I wasn’t paying much attention to the discussion panel and panelists. It was sweaty hot and it smelled very NASTY on the balcony. Never the less I found some way to entertain myself (with Rebecca 😀 )

But I can say that, during the times I paid attention, I heard some pretty interesting things:

I specifically liked the fact that every one of these panelists had troublesome and tough backgrounds yet they each found a way to contribute and build the community. Tashi Chodron contributed much to through film, books, artwork and cultural events. Katrin Hansing, Charles N. Li, and Bruce Payne are professors. They struggled for their careers and once successful, they decided to help the community build as well.

Post a monologue you’ve developed in your seminar, along with a self portrait (which can be a photograph, an image, a cartoon or some other depiction of how you see yourself).

I’m the typical teenager who likes to do the typical things. I like to eat, sleep and go out. I graduated from William Cullen Bryant High School in Long Island City. With a 40% drop out rate, it wasn’t the best, but I have to say it wasn’t the worse either. I was able to meet friends and I was able to explore. I found out what I liked and what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I found out that I loved poetry. None of that Shakespeare sonnet stuff or Ayaz’s poems. I love real legit modern poetry. I also started planning my career path at the end of my High School years. I want to be an event planner. I want to intern at different companies and land a real part time job before I turn 20 and a full time job when I hit 23. It doesn’t seem quite realistic, but when I look back at what my siblings did, I start to believe in myself.

Two of my sisters also graduated from Baruch. They both found internships and worked their way up to a part time position then full time before they even turned 22. At such a young age, they found out what they wanted to do and never stopped pushing forward to achieve it. They are who I want to become when I grow up. Just like how everyone else looks up to someone, my two sisters are my role models.

To hit that level of success like my sisters did, I know I’ll have to open up more and start networking. I knew I had to get involved with things so I basically signed up for every club there was at Baruch. Even though I haven’t had the time to actually participate in every club, I can now proudly say that I am part of the USG Campus Affairs Committee and one of a million photographers of the Ticker.

I am the typical undergrad student. I am no different from any other student here at Baruch. I am lazy, I procrastinate but at the end of the day I work hard to play hard. And like everyone else, I learned to love Baruch College.
