I decided to come to Baruch for better education in order to get better career. Even though I am a freshman now, my final goal is successful career, and I think I should start learning and preparing for it. Therefore, I decided to attend the On Campus Recruiting Workshop.
On-campus recruitment is a special program that recruiters from many famous companies to interview students on campus such as EY, JP Morgan Chase, and Bank of America. Students can interview for internship and full-tine job. Full time job is only open to seniors and internship opportunities is open to juniors (some freshmen and sophomores may be considered.)
In the workshop, the instructor explained steps about the On-Campus Recruitment program very specifically and answered our questions. She went over resume, cover letters, interview skills, and OCR deadline policies. For resume, she told us it will be better to limit the resume to one page and the format of the resume is really important. Interview is the most important part for getting a job opportunity. I learned that research about the company and position before the interview is very important because it provides more information to answer the questions and show you are really care about this job and this company. Also, she told us show your confidence, but try to avoid arrogance. Try to make eye contact and stay calm during the interview. After the interview, it is better to send a Thank You note to the people you meet. In this workshop, it provides me many important information that I didn’t know before. It gives me a direction to prepare my internship in the future. Therefore, this workshop is very helpful even though I am not applying for On Campus Recruitment right now. It provides me more information on how to achieve my goal and my career.
