Career Workshop: Ascend Event

I went to an Ascend Event this last Tuesday and it was a meeting to prepare for the upcoming Career Fair, where a few guests from CohnReznick were invited to speak with us. In all honesty, I didn’t hear about this meeting beforehand and made a spur of the moment decision to attend, which made it very scary because upon arriving as I realized everyone was dressed in formal attire. Everyone except me, I mean, and Bo because it was her friend that told us about it.

And if that didn’t make me stand out enough, once inside, we were split into three groups and I happened to join the one where the guest was doing a mock interview while asking each of us what our unique trait was…and I had absolutely nothing. That was not fun lol.

I pulled through somehow but it was not easy suddenly being put on the spot like that. In the end though, I’m actually glad I attended because it was a good experience, but will definitely do my homework to be prepared next time hahaha.
