I went to Starr to go over my resume over the past week. I edited my resume about a month ago when the professional business fraternities were holding their resume workshops. I had many people look over my resume, and they were able to give advice on how to improve it. I was able to add a lot of information and it looked decent. However, I felt that I could add more or at least change the structure of the resume itself. When I went to Starr to have it looked at, they thought it was a pretty good resume for a freshman. They recommended changing some of the structure as well as. When I left, my resume was a lot more consistent and the detail was much denser.

On Monday, I went to a pop-up museum with my friends. I don’t really remember the name of the pop-up since my friends dragged me to it. However, I do remember that it was close to the High Line and the displays were shattered mirrors. Each wall had two to three mirrors lined up, each with a purposeful break in the center. Each mirror was unique and had its own webbing. The cracks that ran along the surface of each glass was pretty satisfying to look at. When I took pictures with my DSLR, it was interesting to see how the lens focused on either me or the array of webs on each piece of art. The weather was perfect to go to this type of exhibit because the mood was set was for some self-reflecting and extremely artsy photos. Even though I went to the pop-up unwillingly, I enjoyed the exhibit and took some really nice pictures. The high line was also really nice, even on a not so nice day, but I didn’t take a selfie.

Lately, I have been attending multiple rush events for Alpha Kappa Psi, a professional business fraternity. Last Wednesday, they had their AK psi’s alumni night, which featured 4 brothers who graduated and came back to talk about their experiences. The four people were Vincent, Gavin, Minjee and Ria. Vincent majored in accounting at Baruch and works at HSBC. Gavin is in marketing, Minjee works in Human Resources, and Ria manages a team for catering at Bear Burger. For the first 45 minutes, they were asked questions on how they did at Baruch, and what they recommended freshmen and sophomores to do. From what I gathered, joining AK psi was very beneficial to their professional careers and gave them the experience and connections needed at their jobs. They also mentioned to keep up a good GPA, how to network with other people in the college, as well as out of Baruch. It’s good for people to make a lot of friends throughout their college experience since most of the networks come out of friendships. Afterwards, rushes, bros, and alumnis mingled and networked with each other. I talked with Rashid, an alumni who graduated this past spring. We talked about our interests and how akpsi helped him through his 4 years. I talked to a lot of bros, who mentioned how akpsi allowed them many opportunities at different internships and companies. Overall, I enjoyed listening to the alumni’s talking about their experiences and their advice to the underclassmen. I learned a lot from this rush event and I will definitely attend more, as well as try to get into akpsi.
