Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DTD

Carrer development

Today I went to my career development class to learn about linked in. I learned lots of great things in order to help me get a great profile on this app. I never knew that there where so many things you could do with this program. The instructor had a slide show and in that slide show he was talking about all the great things the app offers. He showed us how to use the functions and how to connect with people. It seems like this app is like an adult instagram because you can post on it and also have a business profile all within one platform. This app is a big thing for getting a job. Most employers look at your profile to understand the person they might be interviewing and not having a profile could put any applicant into jeopardy with your future job.

Another great thing I learned about this platform is it is a great way to connect with other peoples people. For instance you can connect to someone else’s friend while having your friend connect with that person as well almost like a group chat but in a professional sense.  Linked in can come a long way with an individual as the account grows with the years of job experience and when you learn more skills. A more diverse profile shows the person has done a lot and becomes a great person you want to be friends with because you never know if the person who is going to hire you is their friend.

Over all my experience was pretty interesting and informative for me because I learned something new and it will help me in the future when i am applying for a job. My profile will be great because I went to this class to learn more and help my career develop.

Visiting the MoMa

 

Going to the Moma more formally known as the museum of modern art. The first time I went there I was hesitant to like it. I am a fan of history but after going and looking at a few paintings I really enjoyed the art. Every picture has Its own understanding and to truly understand what these pictures mean you have to stand in front of them for a few minutes to capture the idea of the artist. This really interested me and as I kept walking around the museum I was even more inspired. This museum did have lots of history incorporated inside of it, you just had to understand the time period the painting or art was created and by who. After you know more it is interesting to walk around and read up what was written next to every art form. The museum was different then most museums that I have been to, this museum had a very elegant dining area and it was a vertical museum just like Baruch’s campus. The museum was overall good and better then what I had expected. I am always out to try new things and this museum was a good experience. As side from the art there was lots of newer more modern exhibits and those where fun and interactive. I spent a few hours in a place full of mystery and lots of exploring to do and had a blast. I would definitely say that this museum inspires me to be an artist and to one day have people reading about me and writing about me and the great things I have yet to accomplish. I would also recommend this museum to anybody who has not been there. It is a wonderful place to go visit and learn about art and its history.

 

 

Joining Hillel because its fun

My first experience at Hillel was great, I enjoyed the Programming and I also enjoyed the people in the organization. Everyone was very nice and welcoming and I knew I was going to join this organization. Hillel offers so many great things to young adults especially being in a club where everyone values the Jewish heritage and the Israeli culture. The organization has many clubs attached to it as well, and I will be joining one of the clubs. The organization is super active and always has programs to go to.

I went to a program and I really enjoyed it. We listened to a singer talk about her past and how she dealt with cancer right in the middle of her music career. I wouldn’t have ever heard her story, but thanks to Hillel I did because it was very inspirational and educational.

One of the perks of joining Hillel is that there is always food. They have had pizza, Chinese food, and even sandwiches so far. Food is a available at every program. Another perk of joining Hillel is that you get to meet new people and make friends who share interests with you. And a third perk is being part of a community because it is nice to be a part of something that is so big.

I see myself getting involved in the organization during the year a lot because I enjoy the atmosphere and vibe. I want to be an active member and constantly show up to as many programs as I can so that I can learn and enjoy what is being talked about.

Hillel is a very good club and seems to be very active at Baruch, so I might as well enjoy what has been offered to me and take all the advantages that the organization gives to me.
