As a DIY type of person, its usually hard to reach out for help because that requires swallowing your pride and showing weakness. I’d rather struggle and figure things out myself rather than ask for a helping hand. Attending the Career Building Blocks program, it was an easier way of saying “HELP ME PLEASE” because it did not involve any direct plea.
At this event I learned how to create a resume that will stand out to future employers, how to choose my major based on the vision I have for my future, and how the Starr Career and Development center can aid me in every step of the process.
When I first came to Baruch I thought that my intended major will be Business Management. People assume that the manager runs the company/branch, which is true, but I have a larger goal for myself. At this session I realized that my intended major should be Business Entrepreneurship. I want to have my own business which means I won’t be some boss with some authority, but The Boss with all the authority.
This event also taught me how to write an appealing resume. I currently have a high position job as an medical office manager, but in the future when I do apply to other jobs, I will need an eye catching resume to help me land the dream job.
Overall I met a lot of inspirational people and helped build my “Career Building Blocks” to the next step in my future.
