College Admissions Essay Assignment: Career Day

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.

The Career Center was the most beneficial presentation, but I think the questions from peers help the most; they’re going through the same things.

On January 26, I had the opportunity to attend The Major Fair, an event in which the academic departments of FSU showcased their programs and gave information about various majors. Originally, I believed that I would not benefit from attending this event, but my perspective has changed. Although attending this event was mandatory for all students who enrolled in Freshman Seminar 2, The Major Fair allowed me to gain insight into the many majors and minors offered at this university. By the time I left the event, I received information that related to my intended major, which is chemistry, and the other programs that I found interesting and beneficial, which are the honors program and the 3+2 dual program.

I was given the opportunity to get to know some recruiters and look into some possible internship opportunities with them. Being located in the nation’s capitol, I’m positive that the career services center along with GWork could help me polish myself to become the potential employee I aspire to be.

I attended the STEM Career Fair at the LBJ Student Center Ballroom on October 6th. In this fair, they had about three isles of booths with representatives from the company/corporation ranging from Dell from Round Rock to Home Depot to Samsung from Austin. I choose this event because I feel like it’s important to get a feel for what a career fair would be like. I wasn’t necessarily looking for a job but I at least wanted to see what it’s like to go and talk the representatives. I was able to ask them what they look for and they gave me some tips for when I go with intentions of finding a job. Although this wasn’t my first career, I enjoyed going because this fair pertained to my major and I was able to see what kind of jobs I could get after I graduate. After talking to the people representing their

Over the past ten years I have had the opportunity to connect with many people on a professional level when either I or my audience have joined the location I was working in at the time. Typically, when trying to connect I like to share a story where I take them though my career path as well as share a little about my personal life. This story comes to mind when I think about what drives my desire to go back to school and earn a bachelors degree. It really comes down to my family and a clear career direction that will allow me to spend more time with my family. I am now a husband and father of three children who are now involved in various extracurricular actives. My career path has been anything but standard. This has provided we with varying experiences which has resulted in valuable skill sets, however they are not

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.

In order to find an event to go, I went up to an informative booth in front of Barnes and Nobles, where a student who works there gladly looked up a series of events I could attend. After listing several of them, she said that there was a Career Service event during the next days. Without hesitation I decided to go, my mistake was not having known the proper and key information before going.

I started my journey back in February 2016 at the OSU-Stillwater career fair. I went there with high expectations and faith to find an internship to start at career before graduating in the fall. I had a list of companies I wanted to get knowledge of but at the last minute I was stopped by a certain individual at a United Rentals booth. We shook hands and shared stories of career

In conclusion, my attendance to this career fair was about what I expected given the fact I didn't think very many businesses would be offering internships to aspiring physician's assistants. One thing I wish the Business and Technology career fair had was hospitals or more medical related opportunities. Outside that fact, I would say my overall experience at the fair was a positive

As an international student who wants to work in the United States, it is important to attend to serval career fairs that fit my major. If I want to stay in America after studying in university, I would need to find a job that can offer a chance to get a working H1 visa as a foreigner. To look for the employment opportunities, I will need to attend to career fairs in school. Therefore, I went to the business and engineering career fair at Seattle University. There were many big branch companies, such as Key Bank, Alaska Airline, Nordstrom, and Paccar, and they offered internship programs for students in different quarters. So, I interviewed a recruiter from Edward Jones and listened to three students who were seeking internships in the career

Walking into the Career Fair, I had no clue what to expect. This is my junior year, so I decided that I should go and get a feel of what the job market looks like. I have already had an internship this past summer, so I planned on going to the spring Career Fair. I decided to go to the fall one so I can better prepare myself for spring. I treated the Career Fair the same as I would treat a job interview. The main activity I do to prepare is research, something I really excel at. I first went through all the companies that were participating and selected the companies that were interested in Human Resource positions. From there I narrowed down the companies to approximately twenty companies by interest. I ended with about nine companies.

Finding a specific career path can not only be difficult, but it can also induce bouts of anxiety, anger, and sadness over a crucial part of an individual’s life. Settling on a career can be unnerving when thinking about the fact that this is the career that you spend thousands of dollars on in college, that this is the career you will work in until you retire. With this course, I’ve found that it has been easier to narrow down a goal towards finding a career. Through career assessments, different assignments and discussions, I have realized what my barriers and strengths are. Overcoming these and improving these skills or applying them to an actual career assisted me in narrowing my goal as well. I am now able to clearly see the advantages and disadvantages of my career goal and to think clearer about the next steps that I will take after this course.

My experience at the Dalton State College Fall Career Fair on November 3rd was really helpful for me. It helped me practice my networking skills, and at the same time, I was able to meet business professionals that gave me advice and guided me at getting a job. At the career fair, I spoke with the State Farm Insurance agent, Dan Runion. He told me how with state farm I could start as an employee working for an agent like him, and then after learning the job, I could eventually have my own State Farm business. In addition, I met Shaw Industries’ representative, and she told me that because I was a senior, I did not qualify for their internship programs, which were offered for juniors. However, she advised me to go to shaw.com/jobs next April
