Salut!
Yesterday I went to the career prep workshop. It was a very useful and informative tool that I recommend every Baruch student take advantage of. They did an excellent job teaching us about all of the opportunities that the Starr Career Development Center has to offer that will prepare students to pursue a career in the field of their choice. They discussed broad topics like what an upcoming career fair will entail and how to use functions at Starr like free resume reviews. They also went into extraordinary detail, though, helping us figure out exactly how to approach an employer ranging from advice such as what jewelry is appropriate to wear and how to shake their hand. I feel much more prepared to attend the career fair on Friday and find an internship I’m interested in.
Even small details like handshakes and jewelry are covered? Thorough, but at the same time how daunting.
Reading your post makes me feel like i missed out on a lot of basic skill learning at the career prep workshop.
