SD 11

By

I decided to take SD 1100 because I have difficulty writing cover letters for internship opportunities. I know that I plan on going for my bachelors and then my masters after graduating from Kingsborough Community College and I know that I will have many interviews and cover letters to write along the way. Since taking this SD 100 course with Professor Natasha Lauriston my career choice has not changed. I came into Kingsborough knowing I want to be an editor and my time in this SD 1100 course has only motivated my career goals. My SD 1100 course has made me confident in my cover letter writing and ability to ace an interview.
In the SD 1100 course I have learned how to keep my resume looking neat, write cover letters, do well on interviews and manage my social media presence. I would have liked to learn more about places to find internships, besides the career services office on campus. I have benefited from this course by learning to make myself more appealing to future employers. My only suggestions for future SD 1100 courses is to have professors as clear as Ms. Lauriston, she made the learning process entertaining, engaging and informative

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...
