First-Year Seminar FMA

Career Workshop

I have attended the HSBC Corporate Presentation. This was mostly a meeting for upper class men, but I was still in attendance. They taught about the banks history and what the abbreviations stand for. They told us of the program they are offering ans what it was about. We got the chance to speak with members of the bank and they told us of what they do day to day and what their job requires of them. But the more important aspect of this was what it meant to me. I have always wanted to work at an investment bank, and hearing the presentations and watching the videos only wants me to do that even more. Hopefully I am able to land some internships right through college and land a full time job after. But for now, I only have hope going for me. In fact, this presentation maybe opened up a few areas for me. Not the traditional finance anymore, but maybe something like private equity or risk management and sales. The possibilities are endless! In regards to what other resources I am gonna use; I plan on using STARR to attend more meetings of this kind, and open up my eyes to any new kinds of fields. I also plan on applying to some internships because of this presentation. Yep, it influenced me that much. I am also gonna look at even more opportunities away from Baruch, because I got that professional feel from the presentation. As a college student, I want to grow as both a person and potential employee to become the best I can in my employment. Overall, this presentation was altering in a way that it opened my eyes up to new opportunities and ways to get myself out there. I hope to attend a few more STARR meetings to potentially land an internship or part-time job.
