Going to Baruch, it is a worry of mine which job I will land when coming out of college. I also never really knew and I still don’t know exactly what I want to do when I’m older. At Baruch college, the Starr Career development center provides clarity in the future. My friend told me to go to the Starr but I didn’t want to because I didn’t think it would help. I was very stubborn about the situation but I nevertheless decided to go to the Starr and schedule a meeting with a peer representative. They were very accommodating in terms of scheduling a meeting which I am grateful for. Right before the meeting, I was thinking of how pointless it really is as a freshman in college to be thinking about my career now, especially because I am unsure of exactly what I want to commit myself to. However, once I started my appointment , I suddenly had a feeling of comfort and assurance that everything will be okay. The lady told me that it is totally normal to not know what I want to do when I’m older, especially as a freshman. She did express to me the importance in just brainstorming what I’m interested in and what really catches my attention. We started to brainstorm and I came to the conclusion that I’m interested in business of some sort. I still haven’t decided exactly what type of business I want to go into, but she provided me with a foundation to base my career on. Then, she suggested that I start to build my resume which I was never interested in doing. She said that even if I won’t be using it this year, it’s good to start now and I can always add more to it. She reiterated to me that most if not all internships will only hire me if I have a resume and a history with work ethic.
