Get Ready for the Spring Semester!

ADhillon — Fri, 14 Dec 2018 19:37:20 +0000

Your break is almost over and a new semester awaits! Here’s how you can prepare to maximize your time and efficiency:

Get organized – Those who fail to plan, plan to fail. No matter your current college standing, the best course of action is to develop and implement a plan for the goals you wish to achieve for the coming semester.

Develop short-term and long term goals and then strategize specific steps to help you achieve them.
Your plan does not have to be perfect but it requires action. You will make improvements on the plan as you execute the specific decisions to meet your goals.
For example, work on your resume, personal pitch, and interviewing skills for the upcoming career fairs and On-campus Recruiting (OCR) sessions through workshops and appointments at the Starr Career Development Center.

Find a Mentor – Mentors are an excellent source of information to help guide you on your career path during and after college.

They provide practical and detailed knowledge on the skills you need to develop to be a well-rounded candidate in the field and industry you want to work in.
Mentors open up new and interesting opportunities that are unknown to many college students due to lack of experience in the specialized job market.
For example, take part in Baruch’s Executives on Campus program, schedule informational interviews, and work to build and develop your network through such services as LinkedIn.

Schedule academic course load – It is important to be balanced in your approach to scheduling classes for the semester.

You want to devote enough time for academics but still have some free time to explore opportunities for growth outside of the classroom, whether it be an internship, research, or job.
Employers are increasingly looking for candidates that have real world experience in addition to students doing well in their classes.
For example, check out Starr Search and the Starr Career Development Center newsletter through your baruchmail for updated postings.

Community service – Make an impact on those in need

Even though academics are your primary concern during the school year, it is a good idea to expand on your interests by volunteering your time to worthwhile causes in your community.
Your dedication to serving others can help add fulfillment to your life past your academic and professional obligations.

For example, search volunteer postings at VolunteerMatch to help those in need.

ADhillon — Fri, 14 Dec 2018 13:00:39 +0000

Why LinkedIn is Important

94% of employers use social networks and social media to support their recruitment efforts.

93% of employers research candidates before or after an interview.

Feeling Thankful? Here’s How to Write the Perfect Thank You Card After Your Interview

ctang — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 18:42:08 +0000

With thanksgiving just around the corner, now is a great time to brush up on your post-interview etiquette. Writing a good thank you card after interviewing with a potential employer can mean the difference between landing a job offer or receiving the dreaded rejection. It also gives you the opportunity to put your name out there one more time and leave a positive impression. Here are some easy tips to keep in mind when drafting your next thank you card along with a customizable sample.

Tip #1:

Email vs Card. Even though many of us are more comfortable emailing a copy-paste template, the art of a good handwritten card is always memorable and appreciated. Keep thank you cards in your bag and write them as soon as you finish your interview where your conversations are still fresh in your mind. You can mail the card the same day or even drop it off at the front desk between 24-48 hours after the interview. If the hiring company seems pressed for time, it is best to send an email instead ideally the next day. Whichever method you choose, remember it is much better to send a thank you then to not send one at all.

Tip #2:

Personalize it. When writing the actual thank you letter, be sure to include a key point or conversation that can help the interviewer recall your meeting. A simple “I was excited to hear that you are currently working on Project A” or “Our conversation about Project B sparked some great ideas that I would love to discuss.” Mentioning a tid bit or a specific point in the interview will show that you are interested and eager.

Tip #3:

Keep it brief. Remember that this is a thank you letter, not a place for you to recap your resume again. Keep the content of the letter short and sweet by focusing on thanking the interviewer for their time and conversation. You want to be able to write everything down on the card without it looking like an essay. Below is a simple example that can be used in both a card or email format:

Dear [Insert Name],

It was a pleasure meeting with you on [Date]! I was thrilled to learn about the project your team is working on and it left me eager to contribute my ideas. I believe with my past experience and the skills I have acquired; we would be able to do an incredible job with it. Thank you for taking your time to interview me and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best,

“An interview is like a conversation. What differentiates you from others is your story. So always be yourself and confident in what you can accomplish. Be curious, ask questions, and be ready to speak up”

Meet Radhika Kalani, class of 2020

“As a person that’s always been fascinated by finance and technology, I never thought I’d see myself at an accounting firm. But that’s the beauty of college! I learned to never say “no” and always apply to everything and anything. I highly recommend applying to leadership conferences and summer internships in various companies/industries so you’re a step closer to understanding what you want to do full time!”

Meet Nazratun Chowdhury, class of 2019

“Do not give up in job search due to the fear of rejection. Keep on trying and learn from the mistakes. You only need one opportunity to change your life.”

Meet Norman Qian, class of 2019

“Take as many shots as you possibly can. There’s no penalty for getting rejected from a position, but you really only need one lucky break to make it in. If you start early, and remain persistent, you’re giving yourself a extremely good chance at landing that big internship. Be relentless.”

Meet Kam Kit Fung, class of 2020

“Being confident in yourself is a huge plus! When you are confident, you will show your enthusiasm to people without realizing it. Always feel free to share your own unique story to make yourself stands out. If you get rejected, don’t give up. Remember, your failure is the most valuable experience to learn from.”

Meet Timmy Zhu, class of 2019

“Definitely use all the resources that Baruch has to offer! What really helped me was the massive amount of events that Baruch has with professionals, whether they are offered by Starr or clubs on campus.”

Meet Serena Zou, class of 2018

“Networking is the key to landing a position. When I learned that online applications didn’t work for me, I thought about who I knew and also who would possibly help me out of the people I knew. Ask for coffee chat but not a job. If a person is willing to have coffee with you, he/she is willing to help you, one way or another.”

Meet Andrea Soto, class of 2019

“Being in an environment like Baruch has allowed me to push myself to look for greater opportunities. Seeing so many of my peers I have met in my classes and in club life dedicate so much hard work towards paving their professional career has inspired me to work even harder, apply for anything and everything, no matter how intimidating. My biggest piece of advice to anyone searching for an internship: just go for it. You never know who will say yes and where you can be a good fit.”

Meet Samuel Shteynberg, class of 2021

“Leverage your network. Your professional network is your biggest asset and key for your career success.”

Meet Juan Mendoza, class of 2019

“Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals, in an environment that fosters innovative thinking and diversity of thought, is key for continuous professional development. Don’t just network, build meaningful relationships with students, alumni, faculty, and recruiters.”

Meet Kaiyell Pettie, class of 2021

“Attending every corporate event possible is crucial to landing your dream internship. Your goal should be for all of the recruiters to know your name by the end of the semester and to have a reoccurring image of you when they are recruiting for competitive internships.”

Meet Alvin Wu, class of 2018

To my fellow international students:
1) Step out of your comfort zone since the best things happen only when you’re uncomfortable
2) Start from doing small activities such as participate in the Starr career workshop to challenge yourself
3) Treat all the failures as a learning experience
4) Find a coach! Your peer from student clubs, a professional from networking events. Make sure to get one for yourself!
5) Be confidence, empowering yourself and perform research before attending any on-campus recruiting events
6) Remember to utilize every single ounce of resources Baruch provides!

Meet Tina Echeverria, class of 2019

“Being active in club life and sharpening your leadership skills early on at Baruch is the key to success. When I was a freshman I went to any and every club event so that I could gain knowledge, insight and obtain advice from upper class student leaders. Through my involvement with the Association of Latino Professionals For America (ALPFA), I was able to build relationships with various business professionals which led to my sophomore internship at Bank of America. My Junior year I became President of ALPFA, where I worked closely with STARR to give Baruch students the opportunity to learn and connect with different companies on and off campus. I was introduced to Google through STARR, not knowing that would lead me to becoming a Google BOLD intern. My biggest piece of advice for incoming students is to get involved in club life and participate in extracurricular activities. We are lucky to call New York City our college campus, utilize it for all that it’s worth.”

Meet Nazifa Humayun, class of 2017

“Rejections only open doors for more opportunities; so never give up and keep giving your best with a smile on your face.”

Meet Patrycja Koszykowska, class of 2018

“Have a positive mindset, hold yourself accountable, and stay curious”

Meet Samuel Burgos, class of 2018

“Work, self awareness, and humility. Those 3 things will excel you to your best self. Work when everyone else is resting and try new experiences that will test yourself- this is all apart of the learning process. Be self aware and have discipline- this will allow you to maximize your strengths, and capitalize on your weaknesses. Be humble. Never forget where you came from. Love everyone, be genuine and be your best self. ”

Meet Nabil Rahman, class of 2018

“Everyone has their own story in job hunting. Some will have positive and some will have negative experience from the same employment process. Resume is the trailer of your show. If you don’t impress with your trailer, no one is coming to watch the show. If you fail to receive a call back after you apply for a position, there must be some polishing to be done with your resume. If you get to the first interview, but unfortunately don’t make it to the next one; know that you are qualified for the job. You just have to work a little bit more on the interview skills; so that your interviewer feels just as confident about you, as you feel about yourself. Self confidence is the most important of all. Don’t loss it! I have a folder in my email with all the rejection letters from every single firm that rejected me. There are always going to be rejections, but good times are ahead. Remember you only need one “YES” to change your story. “

Meet Rebecca Vicente, class of 2019

“I’ve always found that searching for internships and jobs that I am genuinely interested has served me better than trying to mass apply to jobs.”

Meet Anna Glinski, class of 2018

“Searching for a job is stressful, confusing, and overwhelming- but is ultimately limitless. Don’t feel limited by your major in your job search, but rather take your time in college to explore different fields.”

Meet Idan Baum, class of 2019

“Be focused during your job search. Make sure to tailor your resume, responses and interview skills to the specific role and employer. Know the company inside out. Remember that no matter how many rejections you may receive, you should always be persistent and utilize every experience to learn and grow. Those experiences will bring you one step closer to your goal.”

Meet Razieh Arabi, class of 2019

“Discovering my strengths and setting up clear objectives have been instrumental to outline incremental goals to achieve. By knowing what I wanted to accomplish, I was able to channel different resources and programs on campus such as Starr to guide and connect me with many possibilities. It was easy at first to give up when I didn’t get what I was looking for. It was then I realized, experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted. Your perseverance can be at the end very rewarding. Therefore, never give up on your dream milestones.”

Meet Nancy Tadrous, class of 2018

“”The Baruch Starr Center was instrumental in helping me acquire a full time job offer upon graduation. Volunteering at the Career fair gave me an advantage over other students in that I was able to network with the firms firsthand and leave a long lasting impression. I personally received my first analyst internship from applying to an opportunity on Starr Search, and received my full time offer from an alternate firm I met at the Career Fair! During my journey at Baruch, I have also come to learn that joining organizations such as the Financial Leadership Program (FLP), Modern Guild, etc. will help build the foundation for your career search. Programs such as these provide students with vast resources and exposure to learn as much as possible. They groom you for the finance industry and help prepare you for interviews. I was not part of FLP, but my peers who were all received full-time offers upon graduation from top firms such as Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, RBC, etc. I was a part of Modern Guild and a few months before graduation was offered an opportunity with Bloomberg, but had already happily accepted an offer from Broadridge. Building a diversified skillet, knowing how to work on a team, and most importantly learning how to market yourself are instrumental in helping secure a full-time offer to help start and grow your career.”

Meet Sunny Chen, class of 2018

“The Baruch College community has taught me to seize every opportunity available to me and to be unafraid to venture into the unknown, before I have regrets later in life. I say to always look inward into your failures, successes, and the insights from others in order to become more of who you really are. Therefore, you can be better and do better.

I am who I am today and where I am today because of individuals I have met, and the organizations I have been a part of. Understand who has been there for you and reciprocate the kindness and love that was received – serve those who have served you.”

Meet Thiale Diop, class of 2019

“Be sure to exhaust all of your resources and capitalize on the opportunities that are provided to you here at Baruch! From the employer information sessions, career fairs, resume workshops, mock interviews, and much more, every experience you take advantage of will bring you one step closer to your goal.”

Meet Laura Martinez, class of 2018

“I’ve always been very interested in the tech field but it always seemed like a dream not a reality. Sophomore year I was accepted into the FBU Program as a Client Solutions Manager intern. According to my recruiter I’m their first ever intern from Baruch College. I loved my experience and received an offer back for my Junior summer, and ultimately after that received a full time offer for this Summer as an Account Manager. Since sophomore year I have encouraged many other Baruch students to apply and now we have had 2 other awesome Baruch students intern!”

Meet Mirjana Llana, class of 2018

“Network, attend events, apply to every single opportunity of your interest even if you think you are under qualified. Ask for help your peers and your professional circle. It is difficult, painful, but it is a process that makes you grow, and it is worth it. You can do it and do not let anyone convince otherwise. No matter what, do not give up. In the end, everything will be okay. If it is not okay, it is not the end.”

Meet Michelle Sheu, class of 2019

“Can’t stress this enough… leverage your network! That includes reaching out to Baruch alums, previous co-workers, and past professors. And get scrappy. You might need to reinvent your brand to adapt to changing job trends.”

Meet Haritomeni Karavakis, class of 2019

“Make your time at Baruch count! Work hard. Use the resources around you. Expand your network. Never stop learning. Be yourself and most importantly never give up!”

Meet Steven Pelaez, class of 2018

“Expose yourself to organizations and events on campus, or even career prep programs like FLP, SEO, MLT, and Modern Guild. Create relationships with everyone, from students, to professors, to professionals. Stay informed with what’s going on at Baruch and outside of Baruch. Be aware of all the potential opportunities and keep in mind that hard work never betrays”

Meet Anika Hossain, class of 2018

“I grew up in the post 9/11 era, which means I have been taught to believe that I needed to be ashamed of my Bangladeshi Muslim identity. When I discovered Ms. Marvel, the first Muslim-American superhero, I was thrilled to see a Muslim being represented on a positive light in mainstream media. I was inspired to write an open letter to her, which was published on ComicsVerse.com. I also had the opportunity to be featured on an episode of “How Comics Saved My Life”, where I talked my past issues with self acceptance and how I overcame them. Including these on my portfolio was a game changer. I started getting calls from prestigious companies, and eventually landed an offer at TED. This helped me realize that authenticity- the quality of embracing who we are, can open so many doors in life.”

Meet Bacare Jamekay, class of 2019

“With a college like Baruch, we are afforded the luxury of having a career center that supplies an abundance of resources for our job and internship searches. From developing our application materials, to honing our interview skills, there is a great amount of aid you can find on campus. As someone who came into college with a shell of a resume and no interview experience, it was crucial that I went out and got the help I needed so that I could successfully go through the recruitment process and procure the opportunities I really wanted.

Meet Marc Palucci, class of 2019

“Success is no accident! It is hard work, sacrifice, trial and error, and perseverance. When you go home at night, instead of turning on the TV, pick up a book or read a newspaper! When you’re sleeping, someone else is working towards the same goal.”

Meet Ashley Mangar, class of 2019

“Searching and preparing for internship opportunities wasn’t easy to do on my own. I needed help to perfect my resume, format my cover letters, and master the interview to get what I want. The Starr Career Development Center did just that and more. Under their guidance, I found my self-confidence that landed me an opportunity today. Thank you SCDC!”

Meet Ashelle King, class of 2018

“My job search experience has been tough and still is. However, Starr Search Career development website has helped the job search helpful and successful. So far it received 5 interviews when applying for the jobs they have. I also use other websites.”

Meet Jackson You, class of 2020

“As students, we have so many resources that many of us simply don’t take advantage of. Go on coffee chats with alumni and figure out what you really want to do. Join clubs and learn how to present yourself professionally. Take advantage of STARR’s resources and ace your interview. Be persistent, do a little more than everyone else to stand out, and don’t let rejections bring you down. Enjoy the process while you’re at it!”

Meet Farah Khan, class of 2020

“Prior to applying for jobs, I reached out to Starr Center’s staff and went through many workshops & counseling sessions to prepare myself for job interviews. I applied to all my jobs through the Starr Career website because it was the most convenient”

Meet Gabriella Capello, class of 2018

“Think about the firm where you ultimately want to be. Ask yourself “is there a work-life balance?” “how female friendly is the firm?” and “what are the growth opportunities?” Keep your options open to any opportunities.”

Meet Brandon Chan, class of 2019

“The most important thing that I’ve learned through my job search experience would be not to lose hope. During my sophomore and freshmen year when I was looking for internships, I was rejected from a place that I really wanted to work at. I was initially a bit disappointed by it, but if I didn’t continue to persevere and continually apply to internships almost every day, I wouldn’t have been able to get the internship that had previously turned me down.”

Meet Claude Martelly, class of 2019

“Went to events and applied online. I was also very patient and networked a lot during those events. In addition to that, I used starr search, went to mock interview sessions and joined 2 clubs which have allowed me to obtain my job”

Meet Valeriya Drachuk, class of 2020

“Using the STARR career search helped me so much in finding a new position. I have never been offered so many interviews and positions at a time.”

Meet Khizra Athar, class of 2019

“Be involved and utilize every resource Baruch has to offer.”

Meet Christopher Hall, class of 2019

“Never let anyone tell you that an opportunity is impossible, as someone who has 2 learning disabilities Attention Deficit Disorder and Dyslexia there were times that it was hard, I felt mentally drained and sometimes discouraged. Do not stray away! Boeing does not even recruit in New York for its Business program and the nearest Boeing location to me is in Washington D.C. This did not deter from my goal of getting into my dream company. Hard work, persistence, and consistency pays off in the end. Positivity always wins and work at your craft until you make your vocation a vacation!”

Meet Joseph Coburn, class of 2021

“The best thing to do is always research the organization you are interested in working with. Be up to date with any news that affects them and be knowledgeable of their offices organization. Be very passionate about the office of where you’re applying for.”

Meet Ayman Abdel-Naby, class of 2018

“Utilize every resource offered in this school, whether it’s from the Starr career center, clubs, or even faculty to gain the competitive advantage that allows you to thrive in your professional development and the job market. Take every opportunity that comes your way and use them as stepping stones to reach your goal.”

Meet Elizabeth Kornfeld, class of 2018

“Apply to everything. Now is your time to experience different types of internships and to gain a better sense of what you do and do not like.”

Meet Zakari Abubakar, class of 2019

“Industry.Role.Focal Point. Before you start your job or internship search, figure out your industry of interest. Follow up by searching relevant roles and see which align with you personally. In addition, network with individuals practicing these roles and ask questions surrounding their day-to-day and opportunities for growth from a career standpoint. Attune yourself to find a company that offers you all of which you value, whether that’s compensation, volunteering, professional development, or whatever it is you care about. Ensure the value add is mutual through a symbiotic relationship.”

Meet Arzu Ozdemir, class of 2018

“Take advantage of the powerful network and the countless opportunities that Baruch has to offer. Don’t ever underestimate the power of networking- attend career fairs, information sessions, and familiarize yourself with the events and organizations that take place on campus. It’s not just what you know, but who knows you! The recruiting process is a numbers game, it only takes one “YES”. Make your four years count!”

Meet Denise MacQuire, class of 2018

“Most important talk with your classmates. Just say hi, sometimes they will tell you what they’re up to and provide more insight. All you have to do is be nice. You never know, how many awesome things the person sitting next to you is doing.”

Meet Alba Rajanibala, class of 2018

“Failure is inevitable, but every failure was an item on my ‘do not repeat’ list as I moved forward. Do the research before the interview, don’t be afraid to ask questions on the job, and ask for feedback afterwards. Listening is underrated!”

Meet MD Uddin, class of 2018

“With the countless job opportunities Starr had offered, I always felt that there was a chance of success. Every opportunity may not work out, but it motivated me to keep trying again. The OCR process trained me to become better at interviews!”

Meet Katerine Dorovitsine, class of 2020

“Starr helped me become a competitive candidate for my internship and taught me how to present myself professionally. I would highly recommend that all students take advantage of services such as resume/cover letter reviews and mock interviews during their job or internship search.”

Meet Aliou Sidibe, class of 2019

“All Baruch students should get involved with student clubs and organizations on and off campus. This is a great way to connect with other like-minded students and develop skills that are transferable in future workplace. Be sure to utilize every campus resources such as the Starr Career Development Center.”

Meet Erika Apupalo, class of 2018

“Starr has been essential to my professional development. It equipped me with tools and resources to present myself professionally in front of prospective employers, resulted in landing a successful internship.”

Meet Parmeet Manchandani, class of 2020

“Utilizing Starr’s breath of resources adequately prepared me for recruiting season. Mock interviews were specially helpful since they gave me an idea of what to expect in real life situations.”

How to Answer: “Why do you want to work for us?”

ADhillon — Tue, 13 Nov 2018 23:50:19 +0000

No matter what position you are interviewing for, the interview process is similar for many companies and organizations. One of the questions that is usually asked in a variety of ways is “Why do you want to work for us?” By asking this question, the interviewer is trying to assess one thing: Have you done your homework on the company? He or she wants to know if you know what the company is about, what product or service it has to offer, what its mission is, and why you want to work at the company based on all that information. If your answer is something like “Because I think the company is great”, you are most likely not going to get the job. So how do you come up with a good answer?

Do your research. There are a couple of different ways to get information on the company you are applying for. One of the most effective ones is to go on the company website. You will most likely find all the information you need there. However, some private companies tend to not put a lot of information on their site. In that situation, a good place to search would be outside reviews and company profiles. Some good resources to find public companies are Business Week Online: Company Research and Hoovers Online. For private companies, you can search in the Forbes Largest Private Companies and The Inc 500 List. Another great tool is Quintcareers.com’s Guide to Researching Companies, Industries, and Countries.

By researching the company and finding something you are truly interested in, you can come up with a good answer for the interviewer as to why you want to work for them. Whether you love a product they sell, truly believe in their mission, and or care about the message they are trying to send, you will have a credible answer to deliver. That will show them that you care about their company and will be an important asset to help the company achieve its overall mission and goals.

Overcoming Job Search Challenges

ADhillon — Tue, 13 Nov 2018 23:34:01 +0000

You are sending out many job applications, but you are not receiving any responses. You are getting called for first interviews, but are not progressing towards a second one. You are getting called in for the final interview but are unable to land the job. These are common job search challenges that many people face in their hunt to land a desired position. Here are some tips on how to get to that next step, whatever your challenge may be:

You have sent out many job applications but are not receiving any responses.

Answer: Something might be wrong with the material in your application such as your resume, cover letter, writing sample, etc. If that is the case, see a counselor at the Starr Career Development Center (SCDC) for a resume and cover letter review, or for help with any other material you are applying with. Make sure to bring in a hard copy to look over with the counselor and a copy of the job description.

You are getting called in for first interviews, but not invited to the second round.

Answer: Make sure to attend all interviewing workshops available and go through all of the interviewing material SCDC provides. Finally, schedule a mock interview with a counselor to see if there is anything you need to work on in your interviewing process.

You are getting called in for the final interview but are not getting the job.

Answer: You are probably having some trouble closing and showing that you are a good fit for the company. Schedule a mock interview and explain that it is a final interview as opposed to a first interview. Make sure to bring the job description and information of the company you are trying to get into.

It can sometimes be irritating and even discouraging when you are constantly applying and interviewing for jobs but never successfully getting one. However, having confidence in your abilities and following the steps above can significantly help in your search to land the right job for you. Good luck!

Seasonal jobs

ADhillon — Tue, 23 Oct 2018 20:02:15 +0000

Seasonal jobs are a great way for college students to make extra money, gain experience, or volunteer at a local agency. People often have the misconception that seasonal jobs are only available during the holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. Although the majority are open around the holidays, seasonal jobs are available year round and in different areas. The thing to keep in mind is the flexibility they offer since they are mostly part-time and fit different schedules.

Most seasonal jobs will be during the summer and winter months. If you’re looking for a job during those times, the best time to start looking is the fall for winter positions and the spring for summer positions. If you’re looking for something in retail, you may try to look in places such as Macy’s, Target, Walmart, or any other store that may be of interest to you. A few places you may want to look for jobs online is on the Starr Search platform, Indeed.com, Linkup.com, and Simplyhired.com. In addition, most major employers have applications to fill out on their own websites.

Though most seasonal positions are in retail, there is a wide range of open jobs in different industries. Transportation and tourism, tax firms, and ski resorts are other seasonal employers due to their “busier” season during the year. If you’re looking to gain experience, you may also want to look for a summer or winter internship or volunteer at a local agency. If you’re looking to volunteer, you may want to search places such as Idealist.org, Volunteermatch.org, Nycservice.org, or government agencies. You could also look to build your professional network via informational interviews with professors or Baruch alumni to gain a better understanding on which industries to enter.

All of these are great opportunities that give you valuable real-life experience, extra money, and skills to put on your resume. In addition, keep in mind that these are temporary positions which may become permanent depending on your performance. So work hard and always make a good impression. Good luck with your seasonal job search!
