On Thursday, October 5, 2017, I attended the T.E.A.M. Baruch information meeting and learned about the process of joining in order to get jobs as peer mentors, orientation leaders and more. I found out that in order to become a T.E.A.M. Baruch member, you have to fill out an application and participate in an interview where you have to explain why you want to join. Then, if you make it into T.E.A.M. Baruch, you have to do another interview for the specific job, or jobs, that you want to be hired for. It’s a great opportunity that allows you to get more involved in the school while also getting experience for any job interviews you may have in the future. If you get a job, you can gain new skills and experience, which will help boost your resume in preparation for any jobs that you may want to apply to later on. As a person who is normally very shy and quiet, I feel like joining T.E.A.M. Baruch would be a great way to become more outgoing and open to others, which would be extremely helpful when trying to find a job. From the presentation it seems like a great organization that will help develop important qualities in a person while also helping to expose them to the responsibilities and hard work that comes with having a job. T.E.A.M. Baruch is something that can open up many doors for its members as it exposes them to opportunities that are usually not available to other students. For example, one of the speakers told us about a moment where one of the T.E.A.M. Baruch members actually got to go out and eat with the chancellor of CUNY, and the student government, which was something that could’ve only been done because he was a member. Overall, this group is a way to get involved with the school, make an impact on incoming freshmen’s lives as students, and have fun all while preparing for future careers/jobs through the responsibility and work you have while working the job that you were hired for.
