Reflection Paper On Career Fair

687 Words3 Pages

The Career Fair for the Liberal Arts & Business students was an interesting experience. I am glad that I went for the reason to get some experience before I go to the next one. I had absolutely no idea what to expect or do. The environment itself was not overwhelming but attempting to talk to the different business made me feel nervous and unprepared. Now that I have gone I understand that I need to have questions prepared, I feel I would do much better at it.

They also offer a summer internship program but what was interesting was a round-table forum in the Spring. The roundtable is an opportunity to talk to employees and to learn about different opportunities inside the World-Herald.

The booths varied on how they were dressed the most professional companies had a formal look while places such as Peace Corps. and College Possibilities were dressed down. My biggest problem at the Career Fair was that I was expecting for the employers to ask questions and I found that I had to lead the conversations. It was difficult to figure out what to do or say to the employers, I felt very out of place and out of my

The three careers I chose to examine were IT Security Administrator, Forensics Investigator, and Obstetrician Gynecologist. I chose these careers because I discovered that the employment rates for these jobs are expected to grow at a faster than average 37% from 2012-2022. This is because data security threats are growing and with more digital technology rising, more organizations have become victims of cyber crimes. The other career is what I want to be.

My interest in being a part of the CUNY Law Review was peaked when I came across a CUNY Law Review article as I was preparing my research paper on police violence. G. Flint Taylor’s “The Chicago Police Torture Scandal: A Legal and Political History,” put into prospective the continuous outcries of the citizens of Chicago regarding police violence against people of color as well as the cover-up by the local political and legal systems. Particularly with the recent decision by the Chicago District Attorney’s office to charge a police officer for the execution of 16-year old Laquan McDonald after withholding video evidence for over a year. Though much has changed in Chicago since the torture scandal, it is clear that a lot more has to be done as there continues to be an issues of accountability and swift action when officers step across the line from public servant to criminal.

Being the clinician and conducting an intake interview was one of the most the practical, informative, and thought-provoking assignments I have completed throughout undergrad thus far.

His intake form described having manic tendencies in the past, though there was not enough information there to really get to the core reason for
