Club Fest

710 Words3 Pages

Club Fest was an event on central campus that was a great way to find out what types of clubs and organizations there are on campus. Club Fest has clubs that set up a small booth and they have information that tells who they are and what they do. Club Fest is a great event to go to if you want to find out more information about clubs on campus. The professional development event I attended had Michael Kaplan giving a presentation on October 6th in Carver. Michael gave out tips for having a successful interview and stressed the importance of having a LinkedIn page. The major fair was full of information for nearly every major offered here at Iowa State. Representatives and advisors from each major were present to answer any questions one might …show more content…

He also stressed the of proofreading everything before you send it out to a potential employer and the importance of sending thank you notes after every professional interaction. Overall I think Michael had some great suggestions and I would recommend anyone to go if they have the chance to see him. The major fair was very helpful as an open option student unsure of what their major should be or what careers one should be looking at. I was satisfied to see how well the event was organized and how helpful representatives from each major there were. Anyone who has questions about a variety of majors, but are unsure of who to ask could take advantage of this event. This event would be especially helpful if one was stuck choosing between a few different majors. I would recommend that students should take a survey online from career services at home or in class so, that way if they are completely unsure of possible majors the survey would give the students suggestions of majors they should look into. This way the student might find out about majors they hadn’t thought about before and could do some research on the suggested majors online if they wanted before they go to the majors fair and then could go get any questions answered that they might

    The event I attended was called Enter Helen. It was about a book that was written based to the life of Helen Gurley Brown. The event was very small and held at a bookstore named Powerhouse, which is located in Dumbo Brooklyn situated between the Brooklyn and the Manhattan bridges. I really liked the location that was chosen to host the event since it had breathtaking views of both the bridges and the Manhattan skyline as a backdrop. At the event they served wine however I did not partake since I had just came off of a twelve hour shift at work and was also driving.

  • Comparison Of John Rockefeller And The Red Scare

    272 Words  | 2 Pages

    The most significant takeaway that I have from this course would be learning information regarding John Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie. Now, the reasoning behind this is because these two men without a doubt influence the nation more than anyone else during their era and beyond. Furthermore, when looking at each one of these company’s net worth, they easily rival several nations gross domestic profit during this period. Additionally, their businesses employ more people across the country than any other companies of this time. Moreover, once these men reach the pinnacle of the corporate world, each one decides it is time to start giving back to their fellow man.

    Journal #2 The purpose of the article,“What Colleges Want to See on Your Application” by Emily Driscoll, is to discuss what would differentiate future college applicants in a pool of indistinguishable applications and to aid them in their quest for higher education. This article does have bias in that the author fails to consider Seniors, or students about to graduate from high school, who have neither challenged themselves nor engaged in their neighborhood. Driscoll assumes that their audience has been through every step from community service to recommendations, or has the opportunity to make up for lost time. In the article “What Colleges Want to See on Your Application,” Emily Driscoll discusses the contents the best application must display.

    Likewise, creating a cover letter taught me many useful strategies that I will definitely put to use when it comes time for me to submit an official cover letter to a company. One of the biggest things that I have learned from taking this course is that good content is more important than sophistication. Both are very important in essay writing, but it is more important to have clear content and material so that the audience can understand your position. Last year, I always seemed to lose points on essays for not having sophisticated enough prose, so I came into this class under the impression that the most important things in a

  • Amanda Ripley's Essay About Sports In Schools

    857 Words  | 4 Pages

    In “School Should Be About Learning, Not Sports,” author Amanda Ripley explains her viewpoint about sports in school. She describes that in school the focus is less on the education and more on the “...pep rallies, booster clubs, trophy cases and cheerleaders decorating football players’ lockers after they fill them with brownies.” She thinks schools spend too much time on sports and less on learning and education. Ripley focuses on how children in school are playing sports that the “majority of kids will never get paid to play” in the future. Essentially, this means the students are wasting their time playing sports because most will never continue to play professionally.

  • Persuasive Essay On Choosing A College Major

    1607 Words  | 7 Pages

    This decision may seem simple enough, but before the student knows it this decision launches them with huge force into a journey they never could have planned for. This decision propels their lives in a whole new direction, it influences who they meet in college, what they do there, and how they spend their time. The major they choose will also influence their lives far beyond their college careers, it will influence what jobs they earn, where they will work; it even influence how people will look at them and their social standing. Now that we have come to comprehend the gravity that this ripple has, we must ask ourselves what influences which way the wave will go, there must be some method behind this seemingly mad throw in the dark. Because after all, are students really sure of what they’re majoring in?
