This past Wednesday I attended the “Building Your Personal Pitch” workshop through the STARR career center. The workshop talked about how to present a good first impression of yourself to potential employers, internship opportunities or just to other people with the same goals as you. Before entering any career, you go through an interview process so the person hiring you knows they are hiring a qualified individual. The personal pitch workshop taught us how to put our best self forward so we have the best chance in any kind of professional process. After we saw examples of what to do and what not to do, we were given the opportunity to use the skills presented to us with the demonstrations with other people trying to learn they’re own pitch. We were then able to get constructive criticism from an objective standpoint to improve our pitches. By the end of the workshop I could confidently say that I left with a good personal pitch that would show potential employers what my skills are and what I could bring to the table.
