This fall, I attended the career fair in the Baruch gym. There were adults, students, and professionals alike, trying to give their best impression to potential employers. Being a freshman, most employers explicitly stated there was no opportunity for me with them; however, it was a learning experience. I really got to see what these employers were looking forward too and I even managed to impress a few before I told them my age. Examples of employers I spoke to were Bank of America, Citibank, the SEC, etc. Each booth I went to I learned something new and I even got a water bottle out of it. Something I realized was exactly how important a resume is. I had the basic Word template resume that looked horrendous. When I saw my friends’ resumes, I realized I had to improve. That same night I went to the library and completely revamped it. Overall, even though I didn’t get a career out of the career fair, I think it made me better equipped for the near future when employers will take me seriously.
