Career Fair Reflection Paper

Within society, there are many occupations to explore and chose. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) results showed that my personal career strengths fall under the area of teaching and counseling. Currently, as a school counselor for a high school in Duncanville, Texas, a suburb outside of Dallas, I find the results of the assessment to be very accurate. Making the decision to become a counselor is a rewarding and exciting career choice. In the world of counsling, there are many individuals who place emphasis on not just basic implications, but also on theoretical studies that usually are a part of

I want to be a nurse practitioner when I grow up. A nurse practitioner ,or commonly known as NP, can treat and diagnose illnesses and can also conduct lab tests.(“Welcome to Top Master’s In Healthcare Administration”)

The environment/atmosphere at the career fair was amazing. The companies were all engaging and extremely welcoming to all of the students, from my perspective. I wasn’t exactly nervous because I prepared questions to ask each of the recruiters ahead of time. My approach went quite well, and I took the steps that were given to me in class. I introduced myself and started to speak about my life at Indiana State, qualifications, skills, etc. (elevator pitch).

In order for me to complete this career assessment paper, I initially took an Interest Inventory survey. Upon completing this process, it revealed that my personality profile score was (I, C, A). These three letters represented my strengths and interests in determining which career field would best suit me.

My number one goal in life is to make a difference. I want to be the reason that people smile and have joy-filled lives. With this, I plan on either being a veterinarian or a chiropractor, which I will be going to Saginaw Valley State University in the fall to pursue. I want to either help animals, or I want to help people in my community by giving them the ability to have bodies free of pain, or at least reduced pain. I am currently looking more into being a chiropractor, because I have a more personal connection to this career, for my dad is disabled with chronic back pain, but seeing a chiropractor has turned his life around and he can now be my loving father again, instead of the depressed, pain-filled father I once had.

I feel like the Career Academy classes definitely did a very good job of introducing us into what college is going to be like. Especially with the deadline on Sunday nights. With normal high school classes, you are able to push things off and not do them and then also turn them in late and still receive credit. This caused me to really learn how to use my time more wisely and not give up any extra time that I have. It also gave me a much better perspective on what working with an online teacher is really about. I know that next year I will be taking more college classes on line so this class helped me to know what I will need to do for next year.

Tell me about your educational background and the professional experiences you've had up to this point. What do you hope to learn in this class? Are there specific topics you're hoping to discuss?

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

I was too nervous to approach students at the career fair to ask them how their experiences were, but luckily I ran into an old friend named Ragav Subramanian who is currently a sophomore at the university. He was kind enough to step aside and answer some questions I had. One of the best tips he gave me was to always

In my career research report, I am going to be trying to accomplish some of my goals. I feel like it’s time to start planning for my future and what I want to do with it, so a main goal is to find a suitable career for me. I have already seen some amazing career opportunities for me to think about. Though I really hope I can get at least an A on my research paper and make sure I enjoy the whole process of doing this project.

Prior to attending my career development meeting with my ExEL Career Advisor I had very few expectation due to fact that I didn't know much about the program. I was expecting my ExEL Career Advisor and I to talk about my career and professional goals.I was hoping to learn important steps I should be taking right now in order to achieve my goal of becoming an orthodontist.

I recently attended the career fair on the 21st of February and while I was able to learn a little bit more about the professional world and also took skills away that I will hopefully be able to use later in my career.

This class emphasized many valuable career skills that are important to not only develop but maintain. One of the most important takeaways that I have learned from this course is about professionalism in general. It may sound broad and vague, but I truly feel that I developed a better sense of professionalism due to this course. Although I was not able to attend the career fair, I did have an opportunity to meet with some representatives of jobs on campus. This helped me develop better networking
