I knew coming into college was going to be confusing time for me because I didn’t really know what I wanted to do with my life in terms of a career. Luckily, after talking to a couple of upper class-men, I was given a sense of direction and an understanding as to why it’s so important to start planning your career early. I have a resume but most of it is just a bunch of lies to make myself look better. The first step I have to take is to create a resume that isn’t built off of lies which is a lot harder than I thought. My format was incorrect and the things I included weren’t necessary.
The next step I have to take is to gain some experience with finance related work. Last week, I went to the Starr Career Development Center to see what its all about. I think it’s really cool that Baruch has it own department that helps it’s students find internships and job. Instead of competing against all the students across the country, I’m only competing with those in Baruch. Hopefully soon enough I’ll be able to secure my first internship and gain some experience in finance-related jobs.
