Over my past few months at Baruch I have ran into signs of the Starr career center more times than I can count.My first time in Baruch when I was on a campus tour my director actually made a reference to the Starr career development center and mentioned how they had professional training, where clothing would be offered if a person didn’t have or how they should dress and handle themselves at a business dinner. They also have many resources where you basically do no work at all besides making a resume and typing in what kind of internship you are looking for. Despite me not being a finance major the Starr Career Development Center introduced me to the financial leadership program, that has a special curriculum for your junior and senior year filled with workshops to have you more prepared for the business world. This was really unbelievable for me and if i ever decided to go into finance from marketing in the next few months I would definitely look into this program.This program also helps you find a job, so you are basically set post graduation which is difficult for a college graduate to say especially in this economy. Finding out about the Starr career center assisted me because now that i know clearly what is available to me, i can and will go to them for any questions. I can also be more focused on looking and applying for internships since I know there are counselors at the office who can advise me on the different types of internships. Finding out about the Starr career development center makes me proud that I selected Baruch as my college because I was close to selecting Brooklyn College since they are so close to me and their business school just recently became certified. I definitely feel that Baruch has a great deal of services and I am thankful for them as well as having the Freshman Seminar class to help make my transition to college smoother.
