Reflection On Career Fair

Although Career Fair isn’t a new thing for me, but it was the first time I actually attend it. Before going to the Career Fair, I checked my mail and clicked the link of the Career Fair website provided by CoB Newsletter. Internet provides a great platform for research. First, I looked up the attached form of the companies that are coming. The site was very organized and provided different information sheet for students with different majors. I downloaded the Business Major version and glanced through the page. Then I narrowed down the lists by crossing the companies that requires specific majors. Due to different cultural background, I couldn’t tell some well-known companies by name. So I picked several companies that I’ve already heard of. I then googled the companies, and took a look at their websites. In addition, I went to see reviews and news about those companies. I also tried to search them in Chinese search engine to see their reputations through an international view. After that, I went to Recruit-A-Duke looking for information they provided about the positions they are offering. I evaluate them by the positions they offer, and are they providing internships during the summer. Last, I weigh them by how interesting the jobs are.

When I answered the questions on career cruising I found that my results were inaccurate as to the career I am interested in. The first career was mechanical engineer. Environmental engineer is the second on list. The career that I am actually interested in Software development and Computer science I did not get the results I was looking for in my career assessment. I will still look for a career in information technology when I enter the workforce but for now I will look into the jobs the field has to offer. I want to become a software developer and work for good software company, I hope it works out that way in the end. I disagree with the survey results because I do not want to become a engineer in those fields, I feel like being an engineer will be to heavy of a weight on my shoulders. Environmental engineer would not fit me because I am not a environmental type of person.

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.

I am ready to challenge myself to learn the dynamics of how a large company works and communicates along with exploring new fields in STEM. I am ready and willing to learn and accomplish whatever is required. I would enjoy learning how to code as this is a skill that I could use to improve my robotics team greatly. I am also interested in learning more about media protection and company branding. The skills I will learn through this internship will help guide my career choice in STEM and prepare me for college. No matter what career in the area of STEM I chose to go into, I know that communication, technical skills and business management will be necessary skills to have to provide quality results. I look forward to listening to, learning from, and leading

Last week I attended the Kennesaw State University All-Majors Career Fair. This event took place in the Dr. Betty L. Siegel Student Recreation and Activities Center. I had several tables that I wanted to visit. However, there three recruiters that I received signatures from were Peace Corps, Kohl’s and Bright Horizon Family Solutions. I believe that each of these job opportunities could use a Psychology major. I say this because psychology can be applied to nearly every job.

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

The Career Fair Prep Party is on September 21, 2016 in the Ballroom of Atwood Memorial Center. It begins at 11am to 2:30pm. The fair is an opportunity that enable students to network and learn how to amaze employers by doing these four stations offer by the fair: Research, Introduction, Resume and Dress. Among the fair, there are employers coming from various industry and a few of alumni graduates employers as well. I attend the fair because I want to acquire skills of introducing myself to employers, how to research an industry, resume critique, and how to dress properly.

I selected this particular internship because it revolves around education and communication skills, both of which are featured in my internship. This internship focusses on “informal science education and engaging the public about science”. There are a few similarities between this internship and mine. Science education is the primary goal of this internship and my internship focusses on teaching urban ecology. The second similarity is that you must be good at presenting information you have been previously trained on.

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.

After attending the PMF Job fair on Monday, I’ve learned more information about the process that I thought would be helpful to pass along.

My career assessment test for the personality results show that I am, INFJ that is indicated as I- Introverted: tend to be inwardly focused, drawing energy from contemplation, ideas and reflection. It stated I was sixty-seven percent introverted and about thirty-three percent extroverted. My assessment test mentions that I would tend to be more inwardly directly in my emotional focus, and concentrating more on my own thoughts and ideas than on outer motivations. It says I will attract energy from within, meaning from a personal inspiration, thoughts and or reflection. Usually, introverts might be considered more quiet and withdrawn than extroverts, who tend to be very talkative and social. I feel that is somewhat true about me, because sometimes

I am Chrishona Thomas and I am current MPH (management/policy) student as well as the 2016 class Vice President. I was given your contact information from Linda Pautz (Program Coordinator). I see that you will be attending the EVMS career fair as well as the MPH career development series (presented by Professor Pautz) and would like to extend an invitation to you and your organization to attend our National Public Health Week career fair. The event will be held April 7, 2016 5-7pm. I am the chair for this event this year and I as well as my MPH cohorts would love for your organization to be a participant.

For my Career Exploration Project, I chose the career of legal secretary. In the practice of law, a legal secretary is person who works in the legal profession, typically assisting lawyers. I chose legal secretary, because I have been exposed and aware of this profession for a while. My mother has been involved in the legal secretarial field of work for about two and a half years now. Seeing lawyers and their assistants on television first interested me in the career, but my mother being a legal secretary furthered my interest. My mother took me to her place of business a few times. I wasn’t able to see lawyers in full action, but I got to see my mom and some other legal secretaries in meetings and conferences.

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
