Sem Career Fair

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.

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.

Career fair/college fair. The career fair will include different companies and organizations from the community. The college fair will include different colleges and universities along with scholarships. Also seniors and juniors will also be able to go over college and career questions with their counselor.

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 am extremely interested in the internship at FAIR Girls, due to its mission of aiding young women to live productive and amazing lives. As well as, since International Social Work is what I hope to specialize in. However, I do not have any experience working with survivors of trauma and trafficking. Given my dedication to learning, my work ethic and my educational knowledge of social work, though, I believe I’d make a strong candidate for your consideration in this internship.

At the Major and Minor fair, it was packed with a lot of college students looking for an adequate major or minor, or for their last blog for their freshmen seminar class. I was both. I wanted to look for more information about the Accounting and Financing Major and find a liberal arts minor. However, did not come out as planned as I was drawn towards the Computer Information Systems Minor instead of liberal arts. After walking around the fair three times, I picked up a lot of fliers from other majors and minors. In the end, I found what i was looking for. Also there was the Baruch Mascot at the fair too, but I was not able to take a picture with

EcoLab was the first company I talked to. The company focuses on providing clean water, sustainable energy, and safe food to the market through research and development. Their summer recruiting was taking place at the career fair. They took my resume and said they would send out an email in the evening for prospective internship interviews that would take place the following day. Since I did not receive an email from them, I presume that it is not possible for me to get an internship position with them for this upcoming summer. Like many other companies that were represented at the career fair, they mainly were looking to recruit upperclassmen (juniors and seniors). If given the opportunity, I would like to intern with them in the

At the Career Services event I met a lot of people, such as faculty, students, the Johnny and all. It was a very fun and informative session that exposed me to new ideas, new opportunities etc. The students that I met there were really kind and caring they were funny and well informed of their tasks, they knew everything about what they talked about and they were very helpful with directions. The dean that I met and spoke with is Dean Palastro. She asked me what my major was and I told her Criminal Justice. We then went on to talk about my major and what it really is and what I should expect and that I’ll be just fine.

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.

The other two days we worked in our assigned internships for community based organizations whose purposes reflected what we learning in the program. Throughout the program we were required to lead workshops that educated people on the injustices we had learned in order to help us build leadership skills. We also lead a protest to fight for the affordability of a new apartment complex building in Egleston Square. At first I resented going because there were eighty other students in the program and I did not know one of them, but once I realized how beneficial the program was to me I enjoyed participating in it. The main reason I chose to take part in this program was to step out of my comfort zone and learn to become more outspoken and about how my community is challenged by many injustices and

The career fair was one of the most unique experiences I have had. There were hundreds of companies lined up in the ARC. Before I went to the fair, I had to take several steps to prepare myself. Before I came to campus, I packed my suit. I had just bought a new one, since my old one was too small. A couple days before the career fair, I went to the bookstore to buy a padfolio and resume paper. These two things are necessary for everyone that goes to the career fair. After I collected my materials, I did research on the companies that I wanted to talk to. Since I am a freshman, I focused on companies that were close to me and were offering job shadow opportunities. These steps set me up for success at my first career fair.

Last week, I drove 3 hours to attend a career fair at the University of Iowa.

In this world, there are lots of problems and everyone should help one another or step up to do something about it. Over the summer, I was part of the SAFE Credit Union Internship of 2017. This was a two week program where I got to experience what it’s like to have career at SAFE. There were interns from three different schools including my school, Mesa Verde High School, Rio Linda High, and Cordova High. On the first day, all the interns met at the branch on Madison. We introduced ourselves to one another and shadowed tellers, branch representatives, and even managers. However, by the end of the two weeks on a Friday afternoon, all the interns had a group presentation to present where we had to impress the top professionals. It was about our

The Career interview was a little intimidating. I believe I got the pleasure to interview with Ms. Bridget and it was tough because she was not so easy on the eyes and I felt like I was being ripped apart via her eyes. To my knowledge, the entire interview was based off of behavioral questions. The interview seemed to primarily be focused on my knowledge, skills, abilities and behaviors instead of the traditional competency based interview, which would determine if I have the skills necessary for the job. Overall I really enjoyed the experience and was happy to be judged by someone else and not get penalized for it as I would it the real world. This information gave me a better understanding of the nonverbal and verbal pros and cons I show.

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
