I decided to go to the Starr career and development center for my second enrichment shop. This center will help me find a job, land an internship, master job interviews etc. I took a cover/resume writing guide which breaks down everything I would need to do to build a successful resume. For instance, this guide will help me on creating strong resume statements, action verbs, transferable skills, post letter thank you samples etc. This guide is very specific from explaining how many pages a resume to be to the skills/Job experience that should be included. This is extremely helpful for me because I need to update my resume. Also they have an Internship seminar on October 29 that I plan on going to. The Starr center has many events that I think are important to be successful in the job field. I am definitely going to come back utilize this center many times. Another piece of information I found helpful was their career advice. They said to visit vault.com to gain knowledge on companies attending the fair so I can be full prepared as a candidate. Another tip is to arrive fully prepared and have copies of my resume. Another tip is to develop an elevator pitch which is a short statement about who I am that shows my uniqueness and desirable as a job applicant. Every year the STARR development center invites their employer partners to come to Baruch to be apart of the On-campus recruiting program. This is a great way to network with Baruch alumni and Baruch professionals. Student organizations and academic departments may host these sessions. Attending a corporate presentation will allow me to assess the company and its culture, gain insight into various career paths and learn about available positions and qualities they look for in candidates. Overall the Starr center is extremely helpful and I plan on utilizing it the next 4 years
