On Friday I went to the hospital 3 avenues away from Baruch where I had to help pack Christmas cards into envelopes with help from 15 other Baruch students. It was a very easy task and the hospital was very big so it was okay. Now i don’t have to do Wook’s project so I guess that’s good.

I took a very brief test ( 70 something short yes/no questions) and i answered as best as i can. The results came out and I thought it was very realistic and the website gives you descriptions and a  few careers that are the best for your specific personality.

Today, I went to a resume writing workshop. I remembered to take my resume with me, and when the presenter was talking about how we should write the resume, I was taking notes on an extra copy of my resume. The information given about how to format and write the resume was different from the format that I used, but overall there was no major differences. We learned that there was something called a Major G.P.A as opposed to an Overall G.P.A. Also, the presenter told us that we did not have to put a major on our resume.

Last Thursday, I went to another workshop, about interviewing. It was offered information on what a person should or should not say in an interview. Most of it was common sense, but some of the information I didn’t know. For instance, the speaker at the workshop told us that if an interviewer asks us about attending graduate school, we should not say that we are going to graduate school.  The reason for this is because this may make the interviewer wonder about where our priorities would lie, with our studies or with our jobs? Also, the speaker spoke about what we should wear, questions we should ask to show that we are knowledgable, etc. Overall, it was a very good workshop; it had a lot of information.

I believe it was last week, that I attended a career planning workshop that was about small talk. After I arrived, I saw that it had changed to a “Choosing your major” workshop. The workshop was about what a person should look for and be aware of when choosing a major. For example, a person shouldn’t go into a field that he/she does not like, etc. The workshop offered a lot of information, but most of it I already knew.

Is anybody done with ALL the workshops?

I went to Baruch’s Career Development Center yesterday to make an appointment for the MBTI test. FYI there is approx. three-week wait. My appointment ends up in December.

YES!! Anthropology midterm is out of the way. We can probably relax a bit BUT the 6-7 page research paper is due Monday. After that, we can pretty much really take a nice break especially when Thanksgiving is coming up! Turkeyyyyy!!!!

Goethe was once strolling on a narrow path in a park in Weimar. As luck would have it, he met with a critic who was hostile to him. Both of them stopped, staring at each other. Then the critic said, “I’ll never make way for a fool.” “But I will,” with that Goethe retreated aside.
