Career Workshop

Posted on by a.wong11

For my third and final FRO blog post, I decided to go have my resume check. I went a few days earlier to ask about the walk-in times of the resume review and got a paper listed with the days and times available. I went on a Wednesday which the walk-in hours is 3-5pm. I went a little bit earlier than 3 pm and had to wait until 3 pm for the sign-in sheet. After I signed in, I waited briefly before my name was called to get my resume reviewed.

The person that was assigned to me for reviewing my resume was a young lady who exchanged handshakes at first meet. She then led me to her office room where she discussed my resume with me. She is very nice, passionate and knowledgeable. She is also very enthusiastic and alert; whenever I had a question she would promptly answer and it would fulfill my questions. She went through my resume with me step by step without missing any single detail. She paid attention to what I wrote and ask me to clarified any statements on my resume that was not clear to her. Then she would suggest any rewrites or none. For some of the rewrites or cross-outs, she would ask me for my feedback.

Overall, she did a fabulous job reviewing my resume. I previously thought my resume was very well written and after the resume review session, I will have to fix a lot of my resume. My resume is now filled with cross-outs, insertions of phrases, indent marks and more. She was able to explain any of her edits she made. Also, she complimented me on my resume saying it was impressive. Moreover, she constantly thought about how my resume would reflect for my intended major which is accounting.

Afternote: I forgot to ask her to sign in my Freshman seminar book so I had to go back there a few days later when she was available and had to wait for half an hour just to get her signature.

Academic- Trip to the MoMa Museum

Posted on by a.wong11

After I finished my freshman seminar class on Friday, I went to the MoMA Museum in Manhattan with my friends. It is an art museum which displayed many famous artworks and art pieces. The museum is large and I had to walk a little further into the museum to check in and get my tickets. There was a mandatory bag check to see if your bag meets the size requirement. Fortunately, our bags were allowed in. I picked up a brochure which shows the floors and the outline of the museum. In the museum, there are 6 floors and 2 floors in the basement.

In the lobby, the view inside the museum was amazing The walls were made out of glass and we could look outside. We could see a small garden outside known as the Sculpture Garden.  My friends and I did go out and admire the garden at some point. there was a huge pretty rose displayed. There were chairs that we can sit in and there was some greenery. There was also a circular glass displayed right in the middle of the garden.

There were many beautiful artworks that I had seen and enjoy. The artworks were hanged on a plain white wall. I saw a variety of artworks by Frida Kahlo, Pablo Picasso, and Andy Warhol- to list a few. One of my favorite artwork is called The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh on the 5th floor. After viewing the artworks on the top floors, we went to the basement. There were some photos displayed on the walls and a theater. All of the pictures and film we saw in the theater were black and white. I went through a short escalator to go to one of the theaters. It was smaller than I expected; there were a few pictures and a big screen displayed. We watched a silent black and white film of the daily lives of Americans in New York in 1911. This is one of my favorite part of the museum. I liked how the film told a lot of stories without the use of audio. Just by watching the film, I can see people walking int he streets in New York, how New York City looked back then, how people dressed, people riding in carriages pulled by horses, and much more.

How attending this museum will assist me in my first semester in Baruch by allowing me to travel through the city and find different places to explore. I think going to different places other than just attending college is beneficial and allows me to have a broader view of things.This image requires alt text, but the alt text is currently blank.
