Today, I attended a Business Career Enrichment Workshop with Justin at the Starr Career Development Center. We talked about majors and what type of career paths certain majors can lead to, as you do not have to be a certain major to have a certain type of job, although it does help. We were exhorted to get on Starr Search, if not already, to get access to internships, OCRs, and job opportunities by the companies on Starr, as well as submit and update a resume or come in during walk-in hours to get it done, in order to make the resume more professional. When networking with certified professionals in the field, I learned that I should always be myself and how useful networking can be to get your foot in the door and build connections that can put you in a stable financial position post-graduating. We learned about what Starr had to offer, as well as getting a chance to ask questions with the speakers present. All in all, I mainly learned about what I should be thinking about my career paths and what exactly I would want out of my education here at Baruch college; it was quite an educational, helpful experience.
