This semester is coming to an end, and I’m starting to reminisce all the career related events I went to. I can definitely say that I went to a lot of events where alumni’s or professionals came in to Baruch to talk about their experiences. There were a lot of mentor ship events where people got to review your resumes. I specifically went to 2 of those kind, and I realized there’s always something new to add or change on your resume. It’s a constant update where you can always make it better.
For events with a few panelists, I went to a JP. Morgan meeting where they talked about their summer internships they offer and what’s it’s like in the corporate field. Also I went to a event where Grant Thornton came to talk about mid-sized accounting firms and their duties. I learned the difference about the big four accounting firms and midsize firms. They’re both so cool so I would love to work for either firms. Not only did I explore accounting workshops, I tried to dip my feet in marketing related events too. For example, I went to an AKPsi meeting where panelists from marketing fields talked about there experience and the different fields within marketing. Another event I went to was an office tour to Publicis Health. Honestly, that was the coolest event ever. The building was near Baruch and the workers there were so chill and dressed however they loved to. The office felt like a home with a kitchen, TV, and everyone knows each other on freindly terms. The main questions I realized everyone talks about is : What’s your day to day like, How did you end up in your position, What makes your position right now different from your other experiences. Overall, I really liked going to events not only for the free food but also for the experience and knowledge that I can learn from it.
