How can you explore your Career Options?

By Anonymous

Exploring your career options is easy!
Well, only when the right people and right resources are available. At Kingsborough Community College (KCC) we have the right people (Career Office –C-102); we have the right resources available to our students. If you have not made up your mind on any career choice, that’s ok, but do you want to graduate from KCC and still don’t have a clue?
There are some easy ways you can explore your options, through the career office at KCC. The career office has career counselors who are trained in the most current career trends and have created a program called “Career Quest”. This program is geared to helping students find career options available to them and to prepare them for the professional world. They go through the process from assessments, which help to identify strengths and areas to grow, to training which prepares you to be confident when attending interviews and etiquette in the workplace. So check it out!
Be proactive, challenge the status quo, and get yourself in an internship (experience builders with companies in your field of study, some internships are paid and some are not), to gain the experience in which field you choose and to see how the professional world functions.At KCC we have all the right resources available to succeed in your field as professionals. So stop by our career office(C-102) and make full use of all the resources we have available.

      Thank You for your question Mark.
      Students have come to us and told us how confident they are in interviews, public speaking, networking and just being able to show what they have to offer. They choose majors that are interesting to them and succeed, rather than doing something that is influenced by the people around you(like family and friends).

      I hope I was able to answer your question and if you have anymore, please feel free to post them here or the best choice is to stop by the Career Development Office room C-102.

Dress for the Job You Want

By
A lot of times we look at our closets and think "What should I wear for work today?" or "Is this appropriate for this interview?" Well what we fail to realize is that what may be accepted in our eyes, is not accepted in the eyes of a professional. Here I will tell what to wear for your job or for future jobs to come. Men's fashion: Solid color button down shirts(black, blue brown and gray) Solid color ties (no Bow ties) Black, gray or blue pants are accpeted Black or brown dress shoes *all clothes must be ironed Women: Blouses and button downs shirts Dresses and skirts minimal knee length Black, gray or blue pants are accepted Solid color flats or heels are accepted as well *all clothes must be ironed Absolutely no  jeans, sneakers or shorts are allowed to be worn, hair and nails must be work appropriate, and offensive tattoos can not be shown on display. Both of these are prime examples of what to wear the next time you look at your cl...

DEI & The Workplace

By
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), is a broad term that covers the issues of equality in the United States. It existed throughout the years, trying to advocate for equality amongst individuals regardless of their race, sex, or religion. Thi helps foster respect and equality in every sector of the society, ensuring that as long as a person is a citizen of the United States, they are allowed to receive the same benefits as others. In the workplace, DEI is very essential as it ensures that people are hired based on the fact that they meet the qualifications of the position they applied for, and not discriminated against by not qualifying them for unknown reasons even if they reach all other qualifications. Below are a few important reasons for DEI in the workplace:  1. The Workplace Should Reflect Today’s Emerging Workforce: Social change has historically often led to backlash, but that isn’t necessarily a good reason to retreat or pivot away from one’s DEI mandate.

Resume Mistakes That Are Stopping You From Getting an Interview

By
Landing a job interview can feel tough, but sometimes the problem isn’t your experience it’s your resume. Your resume is your first impression, and even small mistakes can make employers move on to the next candidate. Many people don’t realize that hiring managers look at a resume for less than 10 seconds, so anything unclear, unprofessional, or poorly written can hurt your chances immediately. On top of that, most companies now use software to scan resumes before a human even sees them. This means if your resume doesn’t have the right keywords, format, or structure, it might be rejected automatically even if you’re fully qualified. That can feel discouraging, but the good news is these problems are easy to fix once you know what to look for. A strong resume should clearly show your skills, highlight your achievements, and make it easy for employers to understand why you’re a great fit. But many people accidentally include too much information, use outdated styles, or forget to tailor ...
