Career Fair In The Workplace

Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) is a state-based national non-profit organization dedicated to preventing dropouts among young people who are most at-risk. Mullins High School is a 100% free lunch qualified school where students look for encouragement. Mullins High School adopted this program to develop leadership skills and soft skills that are essential for our students to be prepared for college and career ready. As an intern, I take this opportunity to determine the support provided by these extra-curricular programs in achieving the vision of the institution. Mullins High school is blessed to have Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) program. The program coordinator Ms. T is proud of her student members and their highly supportive parents.

When I was asked to be the speaker, I was flattered when they said “We want someone who was an Albemarle Middle School Honor Society Member and is now SUCCESSFUL today.” The comment was made by an adult near by, “But they want someone successful, and you are JUST A TEACHER.”

The inconsiderateness of the clinic for my father’s injury only further fueled me to research and contact many lawyers to find the best one to represent my father. I continued to lead my father through this new and unfamiliar situation. I further developed my researching and inquiry skills to uncover resources and opportunities for the benefit of peers as myself. Bright prospect is a program aimed to empower students to gain admission, and graduate from universities. Currently, I’m the crew leader of my Bright Prospects team. Many of my crew members were unaware of the benefits and opportunities offered by their community. One of my crew member wants to pursue a career as a firefighter, but was confused about how prepare. I led him to ask around Pomona City Hall and introduced my crew member to various internships opportunities within and around our hometown. Because I pursued a positive change in myself, my family, and my peers, I took the initiative to find organizations in which I could take on leadership roles. I continue develop my leadership skills to persuade others to be active in communities and to seek opportunities to achieve their personal

Standing on a stage with over a thousand pairs of eyes watching every second, nerves beginning to fill your stomach, and smiling from ear to ear trying to hide those nerves was what I had to do. All that can be done, at this point, was count down the time left before a single word had to be released from my mouth. The numbers three, two, one, ran like lightning through my mind, and finally, my name was called. I knew this was my time to shine. “Hello, I am Crystal Sandoval, and I want to become one of your next SkillsUSA National Officers.” My life stood still as I felt the nerves suddenly be released and transformed into words. At this point, there was no turning back, but rather share to over three hundred students from across the nation and our United States territories, what SkillsUSA has done for me. “SkillsUSA changed my life, and it has granted me the opportunity to make a difference not only in my life and in other students’ lives, but as well as making the difference in the United States of America.”

Throughout my life I have been fortunate enough to receive both public and private education, shaping me into the student I am today. Although these two types of education have had their negatives and positives on me, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Since fifth grade I have attended several pre-college programs through the University of Wisconsin system and have been fortunate enough to meet great people, who eventually became my mentors. I most recently completed an internship through UW-Madison’s PEOPLE (Pre-College Enrichment Opportunity Program for Learning Excellence) program, where I worked at a summer camp with elementary school kids for five weeks. This program among others, helped me prepare for the academic rigor of college in some shape or form.

Contributing to my school and community is a true passion. I am involved in programs like the Red Cross, Angel Tree created by The Salvation Army, and Olive Garden’s Pasta For Pennies. My school hosted a Red Cross blood drive, and I was responsible for promoting the event to individuals within our school. We had a total of two hundred students donate blood. We helped save a total of six hundred lives! I also assisted the Program Angel Tree by promoting the program among the student organizations within my school. Our involvement has helped hundreds of less fortunate children and seniors receive necessities and gifts! As a team, the student council also collects spare change from students in our school. Our collaboration with Olive Garden has helped fund the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's School & Youth campaign. I am truly glad that my contributions have made an impact within my community and society! My strong involvement in extracurricular activities has helped me become knowledgeable, principled, and a risk-taker. I carry a strong sense of respect and righteousness, and I approach unfamiliar opportunities with a vision and great courage. I seek to set an example for members within my school, community, state, and

I’ve taken rigorous courses in areas that challenge me and stimulate my mind. My favorite classes have been the one’s that challenge me the most, like AP World History, AP US History, and AP European History. One of my most meaningful academic achievements was getting the highest possible score on the AP US History exam. My love for history gave birth to my interest in politics and law. For the past two years I’ve been a delegate at the North Carolina Youth Legislative Assembly. This opportunity allowed me to debate and discuss politics with other young people. But what really merged my passion with history and politics together was representing North Carolina at the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour to Washington D.C. in June 2016. During this week long experience I was able to tour our nation’s capital and met with U.S. Representatives and Senators. I’ve always worked hard to succeed in my endeavors because I want my hard work to make the Hispanic community proud and inspire other young

On the afternoon of October 24th 2014, the EOP freshman were required to attend an EOP career fair. Not only was this a unique one-on-one experience, it was also a great opportunity to get an inside look of what our futures can consist of. During this time, like other students, I was to speak to a couple of people in my career path. Even though, there were a less than five people I spoke to, I managed to ask important and informational questions. To start of the fair, I walked around several times, trying to locate those who I was most interested in speaking with, and on the third time around I spoke to Norelia Cerda- Caldera. The reason I spoke with her was because she received a bachelors in Phycology and Spanish, I found this interesting due to the fact that

Walking into the Career Fair hall, I was suddenly astounded by the power in the room. Everyone from the CIA and the FBI to the top technology companies were amassed in one place, all eager to speak to George Mason Students. Students dressed to the T, all filled with nervous energy, their hopes and dreams possible fulfilled right in front of their eyes. I was not among these technology geniuses, nor did I fulfill the requirements for a job at a government agency.

My education is, and always has been, my first priority ever since a young child. While growing up, my love for getting top grades prevented me from seeking other opportunities that were not directly related to grades. However, now, I lean on a few other activities that impact me greatly. For example, being a Student Ambassador for Wake Technical Community College has allowed me to further understand my passion for helping others. This is because the appreciation and difference I see myself making for others, even by just helping out with an event that is taking place, is extremely rewarding. Also, as an ambassador campus tours are one of my many duties. The idea that I get the opportunity to walk through campus with students who haven’t’

Did you have a enjoyable Spring Break? I hope you, Linda and the boys that you still have at home, had a grand time.

The purpose is to help students balance the importance of academic rigor with the three stated components of CAS. Kelsey has used CAS as an opportunity to grow. For example, Kelsey has volunteered with the Junior League Career Closet alongside her mother since she was a child. She commented that although she knows more about the process of taking in donations than most adult volunteers, her age had limited her role in the organization. To address this, Kelsey initiated a shoe drive through her church and sorted the goods alone at the Career Closet. Not only did Kelsey address her concern, she demonstrated independence and has seen her role shift now that she is older. Kelsey has reflected on both the evolving role she plays as well as considered how it fits in with the larger community. Kelsey wrote, “The ethical implication of “hand-ups” vs “hand-outs” is a much-debated issue in today’s political climate, but the mission of the Career Closet transcends politics. It distributes free clothing because the women we serve need free clothing. We are not there to judge clients, and we will certainly not deny women the tools they need to improve their lives.” Raised by a single mother, Kelsey can view this from both sides of the poverty-line with empathy and compassion. This is typical of Kelsey, and no doubt she will want to serve the community regardless of where she lands next

Today I had the opportunity to attend the Business and Technology Career Fair. Since I am a junior and previously a business student, I have some experience with this fair. My visit this time was very different from my two prior years since I am now a Kinesiology major and I am somewhat of an outsider to the majority of companies offering internships. Upon reading the requirements of this assignment I was unsure about who I was going to speak with but little did I know I would only have to do half of the work.

Considering the fact that I am not looking for a job in the St. Louis area I did not think the Career Fair would be very beneficial to me. However, I decided to take a chance and get all I could out of the fair and I honest believe I got more out of it than I expected. My only regret was that Scheffel Boyle was not there, because they are my top choice for where I want to start my career once I graduate with my MSA and I really wanted to talk to them.
