How to Rock the Job & Internship Fair

What students should do before, during, and after a job & internship fair

 

The KBCC Job & Internship Fair is Thursday, October 5th

Time: 11am-2pm

Location:  U-219/220

 

If you are going to a Job & Internship Fair, your first interaction matters.  Before going to the fair, look for information about employers first to see what they are about and whether working for them is something you are interested in.  A list of employers for the KBCC fair is available at the Career Development Center (C102).

You will have to dress professionally to meet employers.  Make sure you are well presented. Come at least 15 minutes early, if possible, to line up and get ahead of the competition.  Introduce yourself with your name, major and a quick summary of professional skills and/or experience. 

Have many copies of your resume with you. Some employers might ask for your cover letter too.  You can request their email to send the letter to them.  Make sure your resume and cover letter is proof read by a Career Advisor.

 

Send a thank you email after the fair to help employers remember you.

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...

To Wear or Not To Wear?: Tips on dressing for success

By
So, the first step is over. You finished filling out the application for the job; listing all of your work experience, answering numerous questions about your work ethic on an online questionnaire, and you even polished up your hand dandy resume! After restless nights of worrying, you finally get a call saying they would love to have you come in for an interview: now what? First, don't panic ! Finding an appropriate outfit can be intimidating, but with the help of Google it is possible. Second, the outfit you should wear is based on what type of position you are going for or what your potential company is. If it's a store like Macy's, for example, it would make sense for you to wear all black since that's the kind of uniform the employees wear.  If you're working in an office setting, then you should go either business casual or professional. When in doubt of what to wear, go with business casual! Here are a few images of what business casual and professional ou...
