Last Wednesday I decided that I would go into that scary place called the Starr Career Development Center. Turns out it’s not all that scary! On the way down the hallway looked to my left and saw that they had a board of salaries in different fields such as the arts, sciences, and finance. Some of those salaries were very high. Who knew a theatre director made $72,000 a year. When I went in there the kind woman at the front desk asked what she could help me with and I told her that I was interested in finding about more upcoming events since I wasn’t able to attend the first career fair and I told her that I was interested in finding out more about internship opportunities. She handed me a few sheets with upcoming workshops such as Networking 101: Making Connections on November 29th. She also told me about the SCDC website and how I could edit my profile so that it would be easy to find internships. She also told me that they have free services for resume help which is great to hear because I haven’t changed my resume since high school. I’m hoping to move into a bigger role at my current job or find a better one somewhere else so that would be a great help if the SCDC could better my resume.
