For my third blog post, I actually went to two resume building workshops, one hosted by Phi Eta Sigma and the other hosted by UCLA, both with JP Morgan. Surprisingly, the speakers were the same for both workshops. I went to the one held by PES during a FRO class, in which more than half the class went to. The speakers talked a lot about how to properly format a resume, what to include, what not to include, how to attack the interview, and gave us a lot of tips and advice. This information will be very helpful when I create my own resume and prepare for future interviews.

For the Student Life Enrichment Workshop, I attended the Club Fair on October 1. Once I walked in to the main gym, music was blasting and there was an assemblage of people everywhere. Although Baruch has over 160+ clubs, not all of the clubs were there. I was strolling down the club fair, checking out each club one by one to see which one interests me along with my friends. I put down my contact information for Phi Eta Sigma, Student Government, and VSA since these clubs interest me thusfar. VSA is a lot of fun;they always joke around and shouts “VSA ALL DAY.” I plan tog et involved by joining clubs to get more involved. I can meet new friends and find people with the same common interests. After I was down checking out the clubs, I went to the UCLA table and helped out. UCLA was the first club I joined since I was introduced to it during convocation. I was recruiting new members to UCLA and taking pictures with the instagram board.

For my first blog post I will be talking about the VARK Questionnaire I did that is found on the Freshman Seminar Student Handbook since I didn’t get a chance to check out the events yet. VARK stands for Visual, Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic. The purpose of this questionnaire is to show each student what their preferences are in academic learning. Since our classrooms are filled diverse, some teachers give out this quiz in the beginning of the school year to see how the teacher should teach so that all the students can get the best out of it. I remember taking a similar questionnaire in middle school and high school. For this questionnaire I have  6 V’s, 8 A’s, 11 Rs, and 8 Ks. For most of the questions, I have multiple choices. This questionnaire suggests that I’m a read/write person which is very true. I always learn best based on reading the textbook myself and by practice through examples. I don’t really learn much from lectures and videos. I think this is they best way for my learning because i read the information and i can recall it easily.
