Starr Career Development Workshop

Two weeks ago I attended a Starr Career development workshop (SCDC) a place that guarantees career services to undergraduate students at Baruch college. This workshop truly changed my perspective on a lot of things. This work shop was a good experience for me as it was the first time I was exposed to aspects of a truly professional work environment. I was provided with a lot of new perspectives about the differences between bussiness types. The two main types of businesses are categorized into small businews and large business. The two types have a lot of differences which are not all limited to size. Large business is subject to more taxes and regulations as they usually have more operations, ventures, and employees. As an employees there are many differences as well in being employed at either a small or a big business. Big businesses usually have more available positing and can offer higher starting salaries. However, it was explained that this is not always the best option. Small businesses employ less but offer a more individualized and personal work experience. Small businesses can pay more attention to workers as well as being able to offer a better chance for promotion and individual recognition. For this reason it is a serious question to wonder whether one should be employed in a small or big business setting. Many factors should be considered as discussed in the workshop. Thanks to my experience at the Starr Career Development Center I was able to learn a lot of information about business types and it definitely helped to prepare me for my future career.
