Last week I went to Baruch Voices 2017. In this event one person from each of the different freshman seminar classes presented a original monologue. Very one did an excellent job and it was an amazing to learn about each person. The event was energetic and their was an enthusiasm to share the content. At first we had to line up to sign in with our Baruch cards but it was worth it. One of my favorite monologue was from this one guy whose name I can not remember. In his monologue he described how he hides his true self from other people and is going through many painful moments. It was very sad but I gave him props for getting up there and sharing his feelings. However, at the end of the monologue he said he had one more thing to say. This one more thing was that everything he said was a lie. It might have been a lie but at least it was engaging. Also, there was this one girl that had a monologue about how some people think she is not capable of doing something because of her skin color. Well, she definitely proved those haters wrong. She had a very strong and powerful speech. Overall it was an amazing experience and our class did amazing there too which made me very proud. Rahul Rajput

On October 3rd I went to the Interview Prep Workshop with Target. The room was quite big and comfortable so I already knew I was going to enjoy myself. I wasn’t really sure of what I was going to learn and if I will need it any time soon. This is because I already have a job and don’t plan on going on and an interview anytime soon. However, what I learned is very helpful and useful for the future. There were three representatives from Target that each discussed a portion of the powerpoint. We started off by each person giving an introduction about themselves and the presenters talking about their role at Target. For the most part I knew everything. It was straightforward and pretty self explanatory. However, they taught me a different way to look at interviews. Before I used to think of interviews as something in which the other person tries to figure more about you and nothing more. However, the people at the workshop taught me that in a way it is you selling yourself. So its okay if you are a little cocky. You need to sell them why you are suitable for the job. What was even more surprising was that they told us that we need to tell them our weakness too. This would show honesty and that you truly know yourself. I will definitely  keep these two things in mind when preparing for an interview. Overall it was a great experience in which I learned more then expected.
