Reflective Account On Career Development
I worked five days per week to assist the academic and career advising secretary and to help students register for classes. I also approved employer’s job postings on JOBSs - an online job board available 24/7 to students/employers. I likewise completed intensive resume training and served as a career peer by coaching about 20 freshmen in all aspects of resume building. I was given the opportunity to serve my peers, to advise them on how to begin their career development, and to support them so they can make inform decisions and create achievable career goals. I used my prior advising background to impact the lives of others and to make a difference in the lives of those I served.

    I recall being asked by my relatives: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” and instead of an answer I would give them a blank stare. I had no idea how to respond. Not because there was nothing I found appealing, but because I felt passionate about too many things. I loved music, math, design, helping others, working with kids, analyzing situations and solving problems. There were to many career paths that I liked, but it always seemed to me that in order to follow one I would have to give up the rest.…
