For this week’s blog post, I attended a workshop from the Starr Career Development Center. They were hosting a Marketing Career Expo in which I was interested in.
Although my intended major is Computer Information Systems, after taking business I have been considering on pursuing a career more related in the field. In particular, Digital Marketing was something I took time to learn more about. It combines both my passion for technology and business together.
At the workshop, I was provided with a lot intel on the major and career itself. There were many discussions on how to prepare for a career in the marketing industry and I was given a chance to talk to some professionals and recruiters in the field. I also found myself being introduced to various new companies I never heard of before. Some of the many media companies included of Group M, iCrossing, and Horizon Media. Overall, my experience was really meaningful. I was able to learn more, compare to what I search up on the internet about marketing by directly being able to talk to some of the representatives.
I think that it is really helpful of Baruch to hold such event for only undergraduate students. It really helps students in the marketing major to learn more about their future career, and for students like me to learn more about such field. I found the workshop really beneficial and will be planning on attending others in the future to gain more knowledge on preparing for my future career. Doing so, will also definitely help me to make a decision on what my major will be.
