At Thursday, September 14, I attended to Baruch CareerFair Prep Workshop during my break time. I saw the information about this workshop on the poster, so I decided to check it out. The Workshop was extremely helpful. There were two hosters: Fischer, and Johnson. The two ladies were introducing how to prepare for the fair; what is the need for the fair. After I sat the for like 20 minutes, I finally knew that this CareerFair Prep Workshop is too early for a freshman like me. And yet, for the respect to hosters, I forced and convinced myself to stay. The fair was almost two hours long. Hosters were teaching the audience how to make a good impression during the fair, like wearing a nice suit, acting properly. Then, the hosters gave the audience an example of a good resume and told us that at the Starr Carrer Development Center, there are SCDC staffs helping people to review their resume. Later, hosters asked people to practice for their introduction: a 30 seconds introdution contains background, career objective, experience, and strengths. Moreover, hosters told the audience what should we bring during the fair, such as Baruch ID and tons of copy of resume. Also, during the Career Fair, people have to line up around NVC cafeteria area. Last, the hosters told the audience, when we speak to the recruiter, be sure to establish an eye-contact, shaking hands, introducing ourselves. Smile and thank the recruiter for the conversation. The workshop was not really boring. I learned a lot of things from this workshop, such as how to prepare for an interview. This would be necessary when I attempt to find a fine job for myself in the future. To sum up, I am looking forward to this nice workshop. It does give people valuable knowledge, helping people to do well in Career Fair.
