Career Fair Reflection

504 Words3 Pages

I first learned about the career fair through a assignment I had to do for a class. We had to look up different types of information for the companies that were coming to the fair. Through this assignment I kind of got intimidated because the information that I was looking up was all new to me. My professors made the career fair seem scarier than it actually was. Many people were complaining about going to the career fair and were blowing it off. After that assignment I felt the same way but I am glad that I went. I learned many helpful hints to better myself for the next career fair. Before the career fair I updated my resume, printed out 10 copies, and practiced my SBI introduction. Once I got to the career fair and saw all the companies …show more content…

The representatives were not intimidating like i thought they were going to be. The representatives from Federal Corrections Institution were very relaxed. One of the people at the booths was a Business Administrator. She told me that before she was able to apply for her position she had to go through Correctional Officer training. I watch the show rookies and I saw what that training includes. I am hoping my internship at NASA works out. The ones from NASA knew my cousin that works there and also majored in my field. The International Paper representatives just graduated from college and told me that they enjoy their job. I never heard of International Paper before but I use their products every day. I also talked to the Hillsborough County Sheriffs and other companies. My top three companies are NASA, International Paper, and Federal Corrections Institution (FIC). I only talked to the companies from Florida I am not interested in moving outside the state of Florida at the moment. Through the career fair I learned about an internship through NASA that I will be applying for tomorrow. The internship is during the 2nd semester, I really hope that I get this

    The overall semester definitely had its up’s and downs . As a Peer Mentor I have learned to appreciate my hardwork much more and also learned that speaking up a lot is key to key action to many things. One of my goals for the semester as a Peer Mentor was to get to know my peer mentees on a friendship level or maybe as acquaintances. That goal actually came true in a way because I only made three acquaintances only. Another goal I had throughout the semester was to go outside of my comfort zone a little, I really didn 't like to talk in front of the class.

    I learned that Occupational Therapy is not a career path I wanted to pursue because the responsibilities and are involved with Occupational Therapy does not seem like something that I would enjoy doing everyday. The variety of customers that came in was interesting and sometimes was very enjoyable, but for the most part I thought the job was very quiet and tamed for me. I found out I might enjoy a career that is mostly predictive, but something new happens every once in a while to keep things interesting. This contributed to the advancement of my career goals by helping me realize the type of work environment I feel would fit me the best and the job shadow also helped me figure out that even though Occupational Therapy can be rewarding and you are helping a wide variety of people, this career path does not suit me. There are other jobs out there that give me the opportunity to help people in other ways, as well as suiting my needs environmentally as well.

    Being the clinician and conducting an intake interview was one of the most the practical, informative, and thought-provoking assignments I have completed throughout undergrad thus far. While allowing me to practice clinical interviewing skills, I learned how difficult yet essential various skills were in order to successfully complete an intake process. Specifically, I found taking a direct approach and asking specific questions was most successful. For example, with my client, Ian, I was able to find out the most relevant information about his manic tendencies through asking him specific questions. His intake form described having manic tendencies in the past, though there was not enough information there to really get to the core reason for
