Police Officer

By
It is pretty difficult to know where to start looking for small opportunities to get a step up in your career, or even careers you are thinking about. I’ll go to the Information booth to get a map of the campus or even just look at the map at the front of the campus to pin point some places I should start my search from. Since my career is to become a Police Officer, my first step would be to go to the Criminal Justice Department in D309 and find out about any internships or service learning opportunities that could advance me in field of policing. From there, I will head over to the Office of Career Development, Transfer/New Start, Scholarships, and Service Learning in C102 to speak to a Transfer Academic Advisor and hear them out, but let them know what I am looking for too.  I could even talk to my professors and see what can tell me about being or becoming an officer. When I am home, I use the Internet to look up different programs that deal with Law Enforcement. Through my research, I found out about the NYPD Cadet Program. Plus one for me!
 To really start my career, I should start doing more community work to gain more experience towards community involvement. Even outside of school I could go to police precincts, law offices, and councilman offices to see what opportunities I can access. I could go to the Career Development Center to see if they could help me find some of these opportunities. When it comes down to finding out about your career or career goals, it takes ambition and determination. It is also takes initiative to find opportunities.  No one is going to know how far you are trying to reach in life without you letting them know. Help is out there, now go get it!

Informational Interview with Civil and Criminal Defense Lawyer

By
I conducted an informational interview with a Civil and Criminal defense lawyer in New York City. He has been associated with this profession since twenty five years. He spends most of his time dealing cases in Kings County.   ·                      What types of criminal defense matters do you handle? The first case that I dealt in court was an arson case. On average, I handle about 2 homicide cases per year. Most common cases are drug cases and white collar crime . I have also handled thousands of DUIs (Driving under the Influence) and a handful of sex crimes over the years. I handle both misdemeanors and felonies. ·                      Can you tell me about a typical day on the job? There is no such thing as an average day for an attorney, you might spend whole day...

The Benefits of Having Your Visions/Goals Outlined

By
 We all remember creating some sort of vision board as a project for a class in either elementary school or middle school, and at that time, we either saw it as something fun and exciting to do, or just another stressful homework/project. As we get older, things similar to a vision board/creating outlines for things we want to accomplish become essential for our everyday lifestyle, and our long term goals. Today, we’ll be looking at some of the benefits of having a plan/schedule or outline for everyday life, as well as long term goals. 1. When you have a schedule/a to-do list, you efficiently assign a sufficient amount of time required to complete certain tasks, rather than leave most things undone because of distractions or not having a particular guideline to follow. This is most prominent amongst youths as we often get side tracked by social media, or other entertainment factors that hinder us from completing our daily tasks. 2. Motivation: When you wake up everyday, look at the...

Benefits of Having a Mentor

By
You cannot succeed in life on your own. In the journey of personal and professional growth, you need guidance, wisdom and support. Mentorships embody all that for a great success story. It is a relationship whit the personal attribute is to advise, support and nurture the mentee to reach their full potential. Let’s explore the profound benefit of mentorships. · Building Confidence. Your mentor is, to put it mildly, your personal cheerleader. He provides constructive feedback and encouragement. Mentees gradually build confidence in their abilities to succeed and also help them to conquer their fear of the unknown and gain resilience and determination. · Personalized Guidance. What is good for you is not automatically good for someone else. It is not a one size fit all. Each mentorship is designed to address an individual’s unique strength, weakness, goals and aspirations. With this personal approach, your mentor is there to guide you on matters that concern you and only you. · Personal ...
