During the Career Exploration workshop, I was introduced to the STARR Career Development Center, which I’ve visited before and knew most of the details and points made during this workshop. I already had done and made my own resume before and it was of the similar format such as the Chronological Format. But I learned about the other format, the Functional Format, which seemed similar but was not. This format was different in the sense that you don’t list your experiences in the order of achievement or experience but instead you list the skills and tools (experience) that you have learned or have gained, and that you can still use in your future career. I was also introduced to the requirement to write a “thank you” letter after your interview with the recruiter, I’ve done these letters unconsciously after my interviews for college applications. But now their fixed habits to my routine in applying for a new job or position. I was also introduced to the “Personal Pitch”, and as stated by the worksheet given, “A Personal Pitch is a thirty second to two minute long infomercial about yourself. It should contain the most important and relevant information that you want the listener to know about you.” And to me the personal pitch was a must, something that I will added onto my future interviews as a way to sell my skills and expertise. I know that this information that I learned will be helpful and I will use the different services provided at the STARR Career Development Center, such as the mock interviews, résumé advice and career opportunities.

Hi there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with
HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I all the time used to study article in news papers but now as

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find
this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand.
It seems too complex and very broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
