Review: How to Build Wealth Workshop

admin — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 01:26:08 +0000

Today’s How to Build Wealth Workshop was a great event that gave students the opportunity to stop thinking like workers and start thinking like investors. Carroll Buck provided a great summary of the keys to value and wealth creation, and provided several real-life examples for getting started right out of college.

Central to his discussion was thinking about ways to discover and build value. His three suggestions were to find ways to FIND value, CREATE value, and HOLD value.

Review: Interview Skills Workshop

admin — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 05:25:39 +0000

Wednesday, March 12, 2008 – After the Job Fair Success workshop, and the Job Fair, it was a perfect conclusion to this track of courses to have an interview skills workshop, brought together again by the SJSU Career Center.

Central to the Interview Skills Workshop included several handouts, as well as information about what to expect in a modern interview, and how to properly prepare for those tough interview questions. Probably the best handout of the event featured a range of tough and commonly-heard interview questions, and then we took a few minutes to practice our interview skills with one another.

Overall, this was another great workshop to help us understand the ins-and-outs of interviewing, and most people in the room seemed eager and ready for their upcoming career opportunities. Thanks again to the Career Center for providing the time and resources for this workshop.

Reminder: March 12 Interview Skills Workshop

Review: Job Fair Success Workshop

admin — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 22:25:28 +0000

Wednesday February 27 – The Job Fair Success workshop was a good opportunity to see what SAM and business students had to offer in terms of getting ready for the big career expo the following week. Our speaker from the career center led us through a wide range of topics, mostly revolving around the “1-Minute Commercial” – the brief moment you get to say hi to a recruiter and make an impression. She provided a pretty useful handout that talked about how to plan your 1-Minute Commercial, including these factors:

Your major
Career interests
Type of position you’re seeking
Work experience
Class projects & experiences that might be applicable
Youw your background and future goals will fit their organizational needs

There was a good amount of interaction between folks sitting near one another, so everyone got the chance to make some new acquaintances and test out their 1 Minute Commercial with a peer before going toe-to-toe with the recruiters at the actual expo. There were also some prizes up for grabs for those willing to jump up in front of class and show their stuff.

If you were at the Job Fair Success Workshop, post up your comments and let us know what you thought! Was there anything that wasn’t covered you wish was, or something that was covered too much that you could live without? And most of all – did you go to the career expo and use the skills and suggestions provided in this workshop?
