The Starr Career Development Center helps all undergraduate students plan their careers. They are there to help you plan your career when you graduate from Baruch. I found the career center very helpful. The staff at the career center helped me create a better resume. They read what I had and gave me constructive criticism to make it appealing to employers, taught me how to properly format my resume and the importance of a cover letter, and gave me insightful career advice.
The Starr Center helped me create a better resume that would be appealing to future employers. I was told what key words to use that would jump out to hiring managers. Some words that are important to use are: managed, learned, utilized. These words will help me to be more desirable to prospective employers. The Starr Center also stressed the importance of networking and establishing contacts. Networking can help with internships and future job openings. I plan to utilize the different clubs that we have at campus and the career networking events even though I am only a freshman.
The Starr Career Development staff offered insightful career advice. I would like to major in Finance while at Baruch College, however, I was not aware of the many career options that a person with a finance degree has available to them. I could combine my interests outside of school to my interest in finance. For instance, I can work in the finance department of a fashion designer or cosmetics company. The staff person also gave me suggestions and advice in getting accepting into the Zicklin School. I was told about possible internship options and classes while an undergraduate at Baruch College. The Starr Career Development Center is definitely a center that I will be visiting again in the near future!
